02Take pride in the finish

Support neat pathways, consistent terminations, clear labels, accurate testing, and orderly racks.

03Respect the client’s workplace

Work professionally around employees, inventory, equipment, finished surfaces, and occupied spaces.

04Document the work

Photos, labels, test results, notes, and clear closeout information are part of the installation.
