Network design · Foundation

Everything in the building rides on it. Sized with headroom, documented, and segmented.

We also do this work in hotels and in multi-site retail.

Commercial network design and installation across Michigan.

Switching, routing, wireless and fiber backbones designed for the building and the devices it will carry — with headroom, documented, and segmented so security and building systems never share traffic with the business.

Switching, PoE and wireless sized for what the building will carry in ten years, not what it carries today. Cameras and access traffic isolated from the business network. We are not tied to a manufacturer: switches, access points and firewalls are chosen for the building and the budget, and documented the same way whichever name is on the box.

The craft

What the work looks like when we leave — and why each detail is there.

These are our installations, photographed by our technicians on site. Nothing staged, nothing stock. Each detail is a decision we make on every project, whether the client will ever see it or not.

Power and protection

The fiber lands in a proper enclosure, not a loose cassette. The switch stack sits on conditioned UPS power sized for runtime, not just surge. Grounding and bonding to ANSI/TIA‑607, labeled as such. An enclosed cabinet in an occupied space is locked, ventilated and quiet — the building should not know it is there. And the room is cleaned of dust and debris before a single switch is racked.

Dressing

A rack is dressed once, properly, or it is dressed badly forever. Patch cords cut to length and routed through managers, vertical bundles combed and Velcro-tied — never zip-tied — service loops where they belong, and nothing crossing the front of a switch. It is not for the photograph. It is so the port you need during an outage is the one you reach for.

What you hold at handoff

The closeout package is part of the job, not an extra.

Your closeout package covers the systems in the agreed scope.

As-built drawings
Device locations, pathways and rack elevations as installed, not as planned. PDF; CAD on request.
Test results
A verified result for every copper link and fiber strand, as a PDF. Certified test reports on a calibrated tester, with the full report, whenever the specification calls for them.
Port map
Every panel port to every faceplate, by label, as a spreadsheet — the document the next technician will thank you for.
System configuration
Network, access control and AV configs exported and stored, so nothing lives only in one person's head.
Staff training
On the room, the doors and the phones, with the people who will use them.

Questions we get

Short answers. The long ones happen on the site walk.

Do cameras and door controllers share the office network?

No. Cameras and door controllers use separate network segments, with rules controlling access to the business network.

Can you survey the building before we buy access points?

Yes. We survey for coverage and interference, then place and size access points for the walls and the device count you actually have. Wi-Fi 6E and 7 where your devices can use them, and a plan for the ones that cannot yet.

What about power for cameras, phones and access points?

We work out how much power each switch must supply to cameras, phones and access points (the PoE budget) before anything is ordered, with headroom, so adding a camera next year does not brown out a phone. It is written into the design document with the rest of the port plan.

Two buildings and no fiber between them?

A point-to-point wireless bridge across the lot, or roof to roof, tested and documented like a cable. Where a trench is practical, fiber, and we will tell you which one the numbers favor. For a rural site or an outbuilding with no wired service at all, a Starlink or other satellite installation, mounted, cabled and brought onto the network properly.

Do you look after the network once it is in?

If you want us to. For clients who want it, a written service agreement sets out what we look after, the response and resolution commitments we agree with you, and a record of every call. Either way, the configuration is exported and documented, so whoever picks it up next is not starting from a blank screen. Remote health monitoring is available under the agreement, so a failing switch or an access point that drops off is seen before anyone calls.

Will you take over a network someone else built?

Yes. If another contractor installed it and walked away, we will take it over, document it properly, and stand behind it from there.

The other systems

The network carries everything. These are what it carries.

Structured Cabling Copper and fiber, verified link by link, labeled at both ends. Audiovisual Conference and training rooms that start with one touch. Security & Access Control Access control and cameras designed together. VoIP Phone Systems Cloud and on-premises phones, ported and working on day one. Automation Lighting, room and building controls under one system.
Contact

Tell us about the building. We will walk it with you.

A site walk is free and takes about an hour. What follows is a written scope and a firm, itemized number.

In occupied buildings we work in zones, off-hours and weekends, around shifts and store hours.

Your building stays your business. We do not publish client names or locations, and what we see on a site walk stays between us.

(248) 988-9040 info@artechlogistics.com Monday to Friday, 9 AM to 6 PM Eastern

Outside those hours, the form and the ticket page still reach us. A ticket marked Down is treated as an emergency and goes ahead of scheduled work.

Which systems? Optional

Include any dates, the building's hours and when work can happen, and any standard the building must meet. For phones, the current provider and the numbers to keep.

If this button stays grey, call (248) 988-9040 or email info@artechlogistics.com.

What happens next

You should get a reference number by email. One of us reads it, calls or emails to set a time, and walks the building with you.
