01
Define the room
Choose the discipline, use case, dimensions, ceiling height, rack location, and key design assumptions.
Low-voltage design software
Design the low-voltage stack from room layout to quote output.
LV-Architect turns room requirements and device placement into a coordinated low-voltage design package: floor plan, reflected ceiling plan, riser, BOM, cable schedule, and system narrative.
02
Place devices
Drop displays, speakers, cameras, mics, switches, racks, panels, and field devices into the layout.
03
Generate deliverables
Review the generated riser, BOM, cable schedule, narrative, and export package.
Built for the whole low-voltage scope
The canvas supports AV, conferencing, telecom, security, access control, fire alarm, paging, lighting coordination, and structured cabling in one model.
- Room geometry, floor plan, and reflected ceiling plan stay connected.
- Device choices drive topology, BOM, and cable schedule output.
- Network, power, control, video, audio, and speaker-level paths are tracked separately.
Designed for estimators and systems designers
The output is meant to be reviewed, quoted, and coordinated. It does not replace a stamped engineer-of-record deliverable.
- BOM categories group commercial low-voltage equipment cleanly.
- Cable schedule rows expose from, to, medium, signal, and estimated length.
- Generated notes call out assumptions that require field or AHJ review.
Common questions
These answers are visible on the page and mirrored in structured data so crawlers see the same content users do.
Is LV-Architect a CAD replacement?
No. It creates a coordinated low-voltage design package and export set. Final construction documents still need professional review and the normal project approval path.
Does it work for more than AV?
Yes. The device catalog and rules cover AV, conferencing, security, access control, fire alarm device layout, paging, telecom, networking, and infrastructure.
