INSTALLATION, RECONFIGURATION AND RELOCATION

AIS prides itself in taking on challenging and complex projects.  Our systems installation team is truly knowledgeable with every systems manufacturer in our market.  There are few companies that match ours in experience and expertise. We consistently complete projects of varying size and complexity involving all major manufacturers. Our dealer partners are accustomed to working closely with our foremen to share responsibilities on their projects.   

AIS handles new installations, reconfigurations and relocations with care and attention to detail.  We understand the importance of getting the job done right the first time.  Our teams utilize lasers for precise leveling of products to ensure all is aligned properly and to manufacturers specification.  It’s also customary for our team to use corner, floor and wall protection anytime we go onto a job site.  

We are accustomed with unique jobsite conditions that require more sophisticated planning, such as using Gradall lifts or Cranes, where elevator service is not available or is not practical. We routinely coordinate our efforts with onsite trades and the general contractor leading the project. We are familiar with buildings that have their own sets of access challenges, for example buildings in San Francisco and Oakland, that require special trucks and/or equipment for receiving and delivery.

We are experienced with all systems that have been in use over that last 25 years.  We hold certifications for the following manufacturers: Steelcase, Allsteel, Haworth, Herman Miller, Kimball, Knoll, Teknion, Trendway and many others.

WAREHOUSING

Our warehouse facility has 100,000 sq. ft. of storage space. It is outfitted with seven loading docks for incoming deliveries and five loading docks for outgoing deliveries. The warehouse is fully racked for maximum efficiency and is equipped with an alarm system and sprinklers that help protect against theft and fire. Our team utilizes AIS’s proprietary operating software system to conduct our everyday business. The system allows us to receive products, link them to a specific job or jobs, separate for phasing, or consolidate for delivery and/or installation. Our software also allows us to view the product we have received, note damages, and store until the start date of the project. We can handle your warehousing and delivery needs whether it is one piece or multiple truckloads.

CUSTOM SCRIBING AND CUTTING

Our Carpenters are trained and have the expertise to scribe, cut, or alter various types of work surfaces, panels, end panels, etc. to accommodate special jobsite conditions and or custom requirements. These services can often be accomplished on-site or may be completed at our shop. We also provide and install custom cut entries (aka “Doggie Doors”), as needed, to allow for electrical and/or communication cables access.

CUSTOMER STORAGE

We offer two fully racked warehouses with designated areas to store short and long-term inventories. Our asset management team can provide a simple piece count or full inventory with product images; manufacture codes and conditions of product. Our experienced staff is available to suggest efficient ways to maximize storage at minimal costs.

Art Litigation

Demystifying art law is in itself a creative practice. It requires finesse, strategic structuring, and, in many ways, empathy. At the end of the day, art and its worth is profoundly personal. In such matters, mediation or arbitration almost always yields the most fulfilling results. However, should the occasion arise, our lawyers are more than prepared to move into litigation. From artists, agents, dealers, galleries, museums, and auction houses, our clients have always walked away from their disputes or deals knowing that their core interests were preserved.

LIABILITY & RISK

Whether you run a theater, recording studio, or an eCommerce website, all businesses need to minimize their legal liability and risk. Our lawyers will assess the structure of your operation, such as its physical or digital space, the types of products you sell, who your consumers are, what type of company you have filed under (LLC, Inc, etc.), and so on. From there, we will tailor the right risk plan, complete with permit applications, insurance policies, and more, so you can worry less about liabilities and concentrate on growing your business.

DIGITAL MEDIA & TECHNOLOGY

The internet, software, and technology are so pervasive that we can’t remember having ever lived without them. They make our lives simpler, but behind the curtain are fluctuating challenges in protection and monetization; challenges that our firm stays two steps ahead of. We’ve helped engineers, inventors, gaming startups, and entrepreneurs develop, license, sell, and maintain ownership over their creations. We’ve also negotiated purchasing and partnership agreements for larger investment companies looking for their unicorn.

BUSINESS STRATEGY

The startup and small business marketplace is still a new and fierce frontier that requires legal advice from attorneys who are deeply entrenched in the particulars of venture financing. We offer a competitive advantage that can help you save money and make more of it in the long run. We’ve steered corporations like Tap Unlimited and Hydrocycle with a balance of legal, business, operational, and financial strategies that had clear execution and built-in problem-solving contingencies. Our holistic approach is essential to any company looking to grow.
