[Should I Work with an AV Company Near Me?](https://www.highcountryllc.com/av-company-near-me/) ![You are currently viewing Should I Work with an AV Company Near Me?](https://www.highcountryllc.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/denvernearme-1024x683-1.jpg) ## Should I Work with an AV Company Near Me? - Post author:[Richard](https://www.highcountryllc.com/author/richard/) - Post published:January 24, 2025 - Post category:[Audio/Video](https://www.highcountryllc.com/category/audio-video/) Our recommendation: Yes, you should work with an AV company near you. If you’re asking this question, you’re probably evaluating your options for an AV project. Chances are, you’re looking at two options: On the one hand, you have a big [national or international AV firm](https://audiovisual.cioreview.com/vendors/top-audiovisual-companies-2018.html) – a company that doesn’t have a dedicated presence near you, but that *does*promise the capability to serve anywhere thanks to their extensive resources. If you’re a large company yourself, you might find this type of AV company appealing. On the other hand, you have [local AV companies](https://www.highcountryllc.com/denver-av-companies/) that specifically serve your area. They may not have national-scale resources, but they’re close to where the work is actually going to happen. Here’s why we think you should probably choose the local [AV company](https://www.highcountryllc.com/av-company-guide/), even if you’re filling project needs for an enterprise corporation. ## 1. An AV company near you will be able to provide familiar case studies and referrals. This isn’t really a necessity, but it’s potentially helpful. If you choose an AV company near you, you may have the chance to physically review their case studies. For instance, at [High Country](https://www.highcountryllc.com/colorados-audio-video-network-integrator/), we’ve done work for Boulder Recreation Centers, Urban Putt in Denver, and Hilton Denver Inverness (to name a few projects). If you’re in the Denver area, you can easily review the work we’ve done. If you’re hiring a national company without a local presence, you’ll likely just need to take their word on the quality of their work. You may be fine doing that. But for some people, seeing case studies in real life –and having familiarity with the projects a company has done can be helpful. ## 2. An AV company near you will be able to provide closer communication. This factor has a significant impact on the actual AV installation process. The logic is pretty simple: AV companies near you are closer to the work being done and, consequently, can communicate more responsively and more proactively. Let’s say, for example, that in the course of an AV installation project a piece of equipment is damaged during shipping and needs to be replaced. As a result, the project timeline is set back. A local company could communicate this to you as soon as it happened. They might even let you know face-to-face. A non-local company would almost certainly have additional bureaucracy built around the process. There would be more layers of communication (including with third-party contractors) that could add an extra day to the project timeline or cause work to be scheduled on a day that it shouldn’t be. The bottom line is that AV projects can be complex, and schedules can be difficult to communicate. [The shorter the chain of communication is](https://www.managementstudyguide.com/guidelines-effective-communication.htm), the more smoothly a project is likely to go. Working with non-local providers creates longer communication chains; working with local providers creates shorter ones. ## 3. An AV company near you will be able to perform in-house installation (instead of using third-party contractors). This final point is related to the previous one. When you choose a local AV company, you’re choosing to work directly with a provider who will perform work in-house, rather than outsourcing critical work to a third-party contractor. As we’ve just covered, this has an impact in how communication flows. It also impacts quality assurance processes and project costs. **Quality assurance** takes more work when companies use third-party contractors. This isn’t to suggest that third-party contractors *don’t*provide quality installation work – it just means that an additional process is needed to ensure quality. Third-party contractors usually represent **additional project costs** because, as previous examples have illustrated, there’s more management involved. Again – non-local AV companies employing third-party contractors *can*deliver high quality AV work. But the process of delivering good work is much simpler when everything is in-house. That’s a big reason why local AV companies are appealing. ## Looking for an AV company near you in the Denver area? Finding the right AV partner is important.
