Check whether your drawings, schedules, BOQ/spec status, site access and project team are ready for a systems conversation. Advisory; no pricing, quantities or final scope.
Access Control Readiness Checker
A readiness self-check before a door-access or attendance conversation — door-survey status, credential considerations, integrations, privacy-policy and operations readiness. No door counts, layouts or reader placement; statuses only.
System Handover Readiness Checker
Score a project's handover readiness across as-builts, test records, O&M manuals, warranties, spares, training, credential transfer and the AMC decision — and get the chase list to close the gaps. Statuses only; no credential capture.
BMS Readiness Checker
A readiness self-check before a BMS conversation — which plant systems to supervise, how BMS-ready the existing controls are, and whether the network, operations team and documentation are in place. Statuses only; no points counts, plant capacities or network detail.
BMS Energy & Fault-Response Readiness Planner
A readiness self-check for turning building-management data into detected faults, sent alerts and closed actions — metering & visibility, fault classes as monitoring categories, and the response process behind the alarm. Statuses and bands only; no plant capacities, no simulated events, no kWh, rupee or savings figures.
Security Control Room Readiness Checklist
A methodology-level readiness self-check before a security-monitoring-room conversation — facility profile, scope and integration status, and operations readiness (SOPs, training, escalation, AMC). Statuses and bands only; never camera counts, operator positions, layouts or response tactics — the room design stays with your security consultant.
School & Institution AV/ELV Readiness Checker
A readiness self-check for a school, college or training campus coordinating classroom AV, campus PA & bell scheduling, CCTV, access & attendance, network and fire awareness across its spaces — with the gap list and who owes what. Statuses and bands only; no student counts, layouts or camera specifics.
Auditorium AV Scope & Readiness Planner
A scope-level self-check for an auditorium, convention or multipurpose hall — the AV signal chain (sources, mixing & DSP, amplification & loudspeaker zones, projection, stage-lighting, assistive listening, recording, control), plus acoustics, infrastructure and operations — with the gap list and who owes what. Statuses and bands only; no seat counts, SPL targets or model choices.
Fire Readiness Checklist
A readiness self-check before a fire alarm, hydrant or extinguisher conversation. No device counts, layouts, zoning or NOC/AHJ pass/fail — design and approvals stay with the fire consultant and the authority.
Fire Alarm + PA Cause-and-Effect Planning Checklist
A methodology-level readiness check for planning a fire alarm + PA / voice-evacuation cause-and-effect matrix — the interface items to cover, the inputs to prepare and who owns each. No interlock logic, device counts or statutory verdict.
Boardroom Solution Selector
Pick the room, how it is used and the platforms in play, and see a broad meeting-room direction with what to share. A planning aid — not a final design, model list, quantity or budget.

03 / Frequently asked
Education — the early conversation.
What systems can TechnoGuru support for a school, college or university campus?
For schools, colleges, universities, coaching centres and campus auditoriums, TechnoGuru can plan and integrate smart classrooms with interactive panels and classroom audio, projectors and displays, digital-library and seminar-hall AV, auditorium AV with stage lighting, stage furnishing and acoustics, campus-wide PA and paging, CCTV and access control for labs, hostels and admin areas, campus Wi-Fi and structured cabling, computer-lab networking, fire alarm and safety systems, boom barriers and entrance control, and UPS backup for labs, server rooms and AV — coordinated across the campus and supported afterwards under an AMC.
What goes into a NEP-2020 compliant smart classroom?
A NEP-2020 smart classroom needs an interactive flat-panel, voice-lift PA, lecture-capture PTZ, document camera and LMS integration with Google Classroom, Teams or Moodle. An interactive flat-panel (75–98") rated for 50,000 hours of stylus use, a voice-lift PA system that protects the teacher's voice across a 60-student room, a PTZ camera that auto-tracks the speaker for lecture-capture, a document camera for materials, and integration with the school's LMS (Google Classroom, Microsoft Teams, Moodle). We design and commission to specification per classroom rather than copy-pasting a generic kit.
Why is consumer-grade equipment a false economy in classrooms?
Consumer TVs are rated for 8–12 hours of daily use and lack hardened anti-glare coating, multi-point stylus support and OPS-PC slots — lifecycle cost in classrooms runs 2–3× the equivalent commercial panel. Consumer TVs are rated for 8–12 hours of daily use; classroom panels run 6–8 hours daily for ten years. Consumer panels lack hardened anti-glare coating, multi-point stylus support, and OPS-PC slots. The lifecycle cost of using consumer TVs in classrooms is typically 2–3× the equivalent commercial panel because of replacement frequency.
Can you handle the campus-wide network and not just classrooms?
Yes — campus IT including Wi-Fi 7 across 8+ acres, SD-WAN linking buildings, segmented VLANs and IP-PBX is part of our standard education scope. Campus IT — structured cabling, Wi-Fi 7 across 8+ acres, SD-WAN linking buildings, network security and segmentation between admin/staff/student/IoT VLANs, video-conferencing infrastructure, and IP-PBX for the principal's and HOD lines — is part of our standard education scope. We design for the year-three load, not launch day.
What's the typical timeline for a 32-classroom rollout?
A 32-classroom rollout typically takes 13–17 weeks total — 3 weeks survey-and-design, 4–6 weeks cabling and structural prep, 4 weeks panel install, 2 weeks commissioning. Pre-deployment survey and design: 3 weeks. Cabling and structural prep: 4–6 weeks (in coordination with the school's vacation calendar). Panel and PA install: 4 weeks. Commissioning and teacher training: 2 weeks. Total: typically 13–17 weeks from kick-off, with classroom rollouts staged so teaching never stops.
