You may complete the project yourself or you might be part of a crew completing the project.   You focus on the details that complete the security solution.   Again, this is where you are conscious of delivering the right security solution within the time and budget. This can all be done leveraging the technology and best practices at your disposal.

You can present the security solution to the business owner or custom homeowner. You and the rest of the A1 Security Team deliver the type of security solution you would want if it was your business or if you were trying to protect your family.
