Free consultation
No cost. Business inquiries only. Already a BTI client? Use the dedicated support number assigned to your organization.
IT infrastructure consulting is independent engineering advice on the physical and network foundation your business runs on: internet circuits, firewalls, switches, Wi-Fi, structured cabling, servers, data rooms and the links to the cloud. The consultant assesses what you have, designs what you need, writes specifications contractors can bid on, and manages the project on your side.
It is different from buying from an installer. An installer quotes what they sell. A consultant writes a vendor-neutral design and specification first, so you can compare bids on the same basis and hold the installer to a written standard.
For organizations with 20 to 500 people, the big moments are office moves, new sites, hardware refreshes and recurring outages. Planning those properly costs far less than fixing them after the fact.
Infrastructure consulting is built for CEOs, CFOs, COOs, owners, facilities leaders and IT directors. These are the moments that usually trigger the call.
Buy one package or combine them. The assessment usually comes first; the design package and project management follow for moves, new sites and refreshes. Every package has a written scope and named deliverables before work starts.

Not sure which package fits? The scoping call sorts that out in 30 minutes.
Free, no obligation. You get a written proposal with fixed scope and deliverables.
Not every network needs a rebuild. The assessment tells you which of these applies, area by area.
| Situation | Usually the right move | What the consultant decides |
|---|---|---|
| Equipment near end of support, design still sound | Like-for-like refresh | Which devices, in what order, with what downtime |
| Recurring outages or slow performance | Redesign the weak area | Root cause, single points of failure, segmentation |
| Office move, new floor or new site | Full design and specification | Drop counts, Wi-Fi, circuits, data room, schedule |
| Stable, documented, supported | Leave it alone and monitor | Confirm and document so the next decision is easy |
Every engagement follows the same six steps, so you know what happens next and what lands on your desk at each one.

Sample deliverable outline: Design and Specification Package
You do not need to hire BTI for the install. If you want BTI to build what was designed, see network design and installation or ask for a separate quote.
Assessments, design packages and Wi-Fi or cabling plans are fixed-fee projects. Project management is a fixed fee or a monthly fee through closeout. Each is quoted after a free scoping call, based on the number of sites, square footage, devices and project length.
Typically 2 to 5 weeks, depending on the number of sites. Design packages take 3 to 6 weeks and move or refresh projects commonly run 6 to 20 weeks.
A project sponsor, site access, floor plans, any existing diagrams or equipment lists, circuit and contract details, and time from whoever supports the network today.
No. The design and specifications are vendor neutral and yours to keep. You can bid them out, use your own contractor or ask BTI to quote.
Yes. They are a key source of information, and BTI can manage the project while they and other contractors do the work.
Start as soon as the lease is signed. Internet circuits and cabling depend on landlord and carrier schedules that often take longer than expected.
Site walks, surveys and key milestones are on site in Los Angeles, Chicagoland and Phoenix, and in Tucson through BTI's contractor partners. Analysis and design work is done remotely.
Yes. Engagements run under a confidentiality agreement, and diagrams and configurations are shared only with the people you name.
You own it. You can bid it out, build it with your own team, or have BTI quote the installation and project management.
In 30 minutes you will know which package fits and what you will walk away with. Then you get a written proposal with a fixed scope.
