Structured cabling
How many points overall will you need? It is vital to get this right; it is very difficult and messy to have to add more points later after the plastering and decorating is done. Do you need a server cabinet or a comms cabinet? Where will it be located? Do you need points for IP based phones, wireless access points, IP based CCTV? What is the specification of the cabling required? Who will do first and second fix? How will you test it? What is the labelling scheme? Is there a warranty on the cabling? Do you choose CAT5e or CAT6 or shielded?
Email and domain
Does this site have a new name or an existing one? Are you getting a new domain? Where will the emails be hosted? Will you use email for internal communications, or Teams, or something else?
Second screens and information screens
Will you have any of these, where will they be located, and what connectivity will they have to the rest of the network and other services?
Servers
Do you require a server, and what specification should it be? Where will it be located?
Workstations
Do you prefer more traditional tower/monitor or newer all-in-one designs? Will these be wall or desk/cabinet mounted? Will the power and cables run through cabinetry or from the wall? How many do you need? What specification and warranty should they have? Do they need to run 3D imaging? Do you need video and audio conferencing capabilities?
