Massey Knakal Realty Services is a full service property sales company specializing in the sale of investment and user properties. As the firm prepared to relocate its existing offices within Brooklyn, they needed an IT firm that could design and install a structured network cabling system in their new office space. BBH Solutions worked with the General Contractor to provide turnkey technology services for the move project. Massey Knakal Senior Partner, Tim King explaind, "We needed to complete our relocation with as alittle downtime as possible. The crew from BBH came in after hours to make sure all systems were operational the first morning of business after the move."

BBH’s Robert White worked with the client and the various vendors on the job to survey the new space and discuss which cabling and connectivity solutions would best suit the needs of Massey Knakal. The decision was made to run approximately 140 triple Cat/5e cables for the workstations. The cabling terminated in a data center within two APC NetShelter cabinets that hold all networking gear. The wired infrastructure was enhanced with Wireless Access Points for additional flexibility. Additionally, the common areas and conference rooms were outfitted with plasma displays, with videoconferencing in the main Conference Room. The training area was outfitted with an overhead projector and SmartBoard to facilitate enhanced communication. All cable runs were to be installed, terminated, and tested by BBH’s staff of professional union technicians. BBH provided deinstall and reinstall services for the servers, PCs, Printers, telephone system, and other equipment in the new office, and facilitated the voice & data connectivity coordination.

After a months-long construction and installation project, Massey Knakal Realty Services has settled into their new 18,000 square foot Brooklyn location. BBH Solutions facilitated a successful relocation project, and ensured that the entire office was working on the Monday morning after the move. BBH Solutions continues to be Massey Knakal’s trusted IT partner and proactively handles upgrades, moves/adds/changes, and continually evaluates IT strategy as business, regulatory, and technology requirements change.
