About DAVD

Who We Are

Celebrating 25+ years of passion for

proven technologies, and their ability to advance

the people who embrace them.

DAVD Consulting Engineers (est. 2000) is a specialist ICT design consultancy. We create integrated solutions across Audio Visual, Security, Human Care (Hospital, Aged & Retirement), and Communications Technologies — tailored, product-agnostic, and documented to perform reliably from the outset.

With 25+ years of experience, formal engineering qualifications, and enterprise-level expertise, we bring deep technical rigor to every project — rigor our clients and contractors can depend on.

As technology design consultants, we work alongside clients, architects, and project teams from concept through to completion, often staying engaged post-handover to ensure a smooth transition to the operations teams who will run the building day to day. Our upfront diligence means our documentation is precise — which is why our projects are typically delivered with minimal to zero variations.

This collaborative approach means AV, security, and ICT expertise is built into the design from the earliest stages — engineered in, not bolted on.

DAVD worked very closely with the university’s AV department, collaborating on design ideas, keeping it informed of project progress and issues, and although not directly contracted by the university, always made it feel as if it were his company’s primary client. DAVD’s close attention to detail, thorough knowledge of audio visual technologies, and willingness to understand the specialised requirements of their clients, has resulted in a very successful project outcome for the university. I have no hesitation in recommending DAVD to those requiring professional AV consultancy and skilled project management.
