What We Bring
01
WE BRING DIVERSE EXPERIENCE
Over our many years in the audio-visual industry, we have worked on projects of every size and complexity; we know the best practices to embrace and pitfalls to avoid. Our team brings the qualifications to thoroughly assess your space, analyze and interpret the technical data, and recommend products that deliver exactly what you need. With our expert team guiding you through the process, you can stay focussed on running your business.
02
WE BRING UNBIASED INSIGHT
We are independent! As an external party to your organization, our recommendations are not influenced by vendors or internal agendas. We take the time to understand your needs and develop a tailored solution based on both the information that we are presented
and the objective research that we conduct. We can help mediate discussions, drive conversations toward viable solutions, and provide neutral, unbiased advice.
03
WE BRING STRATEGIC PROJECT PLANNING
Our experienced team is ready to help you tackle a project of any scope. We know the necessary steps, technical and personnel requirements, time estimates, and common
roadblocks. Mindful of both your current plans and growth potential, our comprehensive project plan will guide you to the best solution for your business needs.
04
WE BRING COMPREHENSIVE
PROJECT SUPPORT
Procurement and management assistance is one of VWMason’s sharpest skills. We appreciate the importance of hiring the right integrator and trades at the best
possible price. Our project experience and ongoing networking with a wide range of manufacturers, integrators, and trades mean we are equipped to help you build the best possible team.
05
We Bring Honest Value
You have a vision for your project, but there are so many technology options today that each piece demands a decision weighing quality and cost. VWMason will help you
navigate the options, identifying which products will work for you and which should be avoided – and we’ll always explain the reason why. The qualified and quantified solution that we recommend will help you achieve your vision – often faster and more economically
than the lowest cost option.
06
We Bring Long Lasting Relationships
Relationships are key to our business, from respected industry connections with integrators and manufacturers to the unique relationships we develop with every client. Throughout your project and beyond, our expert team is here to offer advice and answer questions. We are also certified on the products that we specify; our customized training enhances supplier training to increase user adoption and speed up project roll out.
Accolades
“I have worked closely with Vernon Mason on many projects over the past 20 years. Major projects include the LED scoreboard, fascia displays, and audio upgrades at Rexall Place Arena, as well as the complete audio, video, and lighting technology scope for Rogers Place Arena in Edmonton, Alberta. What impresses me the most is that Vernon places the same level of importance on forging a long-term relationship with the client as he does in helping the client navigate the world of technology. To this day, there is never a moment when I can’t informally reach out to Vernon to discuss strategic or technical questions on future projects. He is always gracious with his time and professional expertise; he is a colleague rather than just a consultant.”
Stew MacDonald,
Executive Vice President,
Oilers Entertainment Group
"The VWMason team is exceptional; they have set the bar. At every stage, they took the time to understand and navigate the needs and constraints of the many stakeholders on our project. They rose to the challenge of an almost unrealistic timeline, remained calm, strategic, present, and maintained an unwavering focus from design through to completion. It was a pleasure working with the VWMason consulting team.”
John MacPherson
Manager, Corporate Facility Design & Construction, Halifax Regional Municipality
"Vernon Mason and the VWMason team are to be commended for both representing and championing the owner’s vision while delivering on-time and on-budget results on this unique and transformative project.”
Michael Bobroff
Vice President,
Oilers Entertainment Group
“We have had the pleasure of working with Vernon and the group at VWMason on numerous projects over the last 12 years. As an organization, we have tried to push the boundaries of arena digital technology in the junior hockey world, and each project has exceeded our expectations and taken us to the next level. From LED screens to broadcast technology, I would recommend VWM for any project”
