Item: Make site visits to meet with Owner, architect, builder, audio/video dealer-installer, and other key project personnel to establish design direction, present drawings, review/inspect construction progress, and/or to test and calibrate the final installation.

Relevance: There's no substitute for hands-on involvement with the professionals "in the trenches." Site visits can catch mistakes before the walls are sealed up; find solutions to unexpected problems with field conditions; answer questions and provide background information and context so that non-acoustic experts get a feeling for how the room's many "subsystems"--its framing, insulating, sealing, sheathing, wiring, plumbing, ducting, acoustical outfitting, equipment locations and so on--fit together to provide a coherent whole that lifts the home entertainment experience to new levels of enjoyment and immersion.

Form: Personal visits by Keith Yates and/or other staff.
