01
Model devices and topology
Place the room equipment and let the engine infer required head-end and infrastructure devices.
Quote output
Turn low-voltage device placement into a BOM and cable schedule.
LV-Architect connects the drawing logic to quote output so estimators can review equipment categories, quantities, cabling, accessories, and assumptions in one place.
02
Review quote logic
Check BOM categories, cable runs, accessory counts, port counts, and warnings.
03
Export for estimating
Use PDF for review and CSV/JSON for downstream estimating or recordkeeping.
BOM rows follow the design
Equipment quantities should come from the system model. Displays, speakers, microphones, codecs, switches, patch panels, extenders, and accessories need to match the actual topology.
- Manufacturer/category logic is separated from visual drawing code.
- Speaker and amplifier choices account for load assumptions.
- Patch panels, patch cords, mounts, and cable accessories are part of quote accuracy.
Cable schedules expose missing pulls
A clean schedule makes it easier to catch missing camera, table, display, control, USB, speaker, and network runs before the proposal leaves the office.
- Each run includes source, destination, cable type, signal, and estimated pathway.
- Network and control runs affect switch, patch panel, and PoE planning.
- Long HDMI, USB, and HDBaseT assumptions can be called out for review.
Common questions
These answers are visible on the page and mirrored in structured data so crawlers see the same content users do.
Can LV-Architect replace live distributor pricing?
No. It can produce an indicative BOM and category-level quote structure. Dealer pricing and final product selection still need review.
Why connect BOM and riser generation?
Because a cable or extender shown on the riser should be counted in the schedule and reflected in quote assumptions.
