Ovia Lighting Issue 5

FREE LIGHTING AND CONNECTION DESIGN SERVICE

The lighting & connection design request will normally come through the Ovia ® area sales managers, who will be actively promoting the service and will be the first point of contact to field the inquiry. An Ovia ® Pre-qualification Form will need to be completed for each request, with the aim of gathering as much relevant information as possible about the project and any specific requirements. Where necessary a site visit will take place. Once all the relevant information is gathered, including drawings and specifications, and taking into consideration the customer’s requirements together with the latest legislations and guidelines, a Lighting Design Proposal will be prepared. A schedule of lighting and lighting controls will be shared with the Ovia ® internal sales team who will prepare a quotation. The Lighting Design Proposal and prepared quotation will be sent back to the Ovia ® sales team member and the quote will then either go through the wholesaler of choice, or the inquiry will be directed through one of Ovia’s supporting Elite stockists.

Ovia ® is offering a dedicated lighting & connection design service, allowing customers to access free lighting design schemes for their commercial projects.
