Everyone's talking about the AV labor shortage as a hiring problem. It's not just that. It's a quality control problem, and most companies don't find out until the system is already on the wall. Here's the chain most people miss: integrator staff are stretched thin, so the technician who used to do a final walkthrough is now running two jobs at once.

Every AV system starts the same way: someone has to figure out what to design, spec, and install. Palmetto AV Consulting focuses on that first part of design, specification, technical support, and quality assurance, without selling equipment or running an installation crew. That independence works two ways. AV integrators bring us in for overflow design capacity, a second set of eyes on a spec, or an independent QA check before sign-off.
