Custom museum exhibit fabrication, installation, and AV media integration
Design and Production Incorporated builds and installs custom exhibits for museums and visitor centers, and its stack shows it is as much an AV integrator as a fabricator: Crestron, Extron, BrightSign, Lutron, PLCs, Arduino and Raspberry Pi sit alongside Procore, Bluebeam and AutoCAD. Hiring is accelerating across construction and engineering, and job posts repeatedly flag cost estimation on multi-million-dollar projects as a core pressure.
