The Work Itself
We have kept this page deliberately concrete. Every project below is one we shipped, along with enough of the commercial and technical detail to be useful to a business owner evaluating whether we are the right people to call. Where a client asked us to keep their name off a public page, we honored that and described the engagement instead. Where a client is happy to be named, we name them.
A brief note on numbers. We have seen enough MSP marketing that rounds to the nearest buzzword to know how hollow that reads. When a figure appears on this page, it is either the actual invoice range for that scope of work or a defensible estimate pulled from comparable quotes our clients showed us. No decimals for false precision, no loose "ten-thousands" handwaving.
Outlaw Pickle — San Antonio, TX
24,000 sq ft entertainment and pickleball venue · Ground-up technology buildout · 2023–2024
The brief
The ownership group arrived with a bid in hand from a regional integrator. The quoted figure was $195,400 for audiovisual, network, cabling, access control, and camera infrastructure across a new-construction 24,000 sq ft hospitality venue. They asked us for a second opinion on scope before signing.
We found two problems. First, the incumbent had priced enterprise DJ and pendant audio at roughly 40% above distributor MSRP with no corresponding design complexity to justify it. Second, the network portion relied on TP-Link equipment, which in 2024 became the subject of a federal advisory and is still under Commerce Department review as of early 2026. We rebuilt the proposal around Ubiquiti UniFi gear at the network core, kept the Bose and QSC audio lines the ownership wanted, and rewrote the cabling schedule so every drop was drawn, numbered, and terminated to TIA-568 standards.
How the math worked
The $57,200 gap was not a race to the bottom. It came from three places: roughly $22,000 in equipment markup that we priced through our distribution accounts instead of a general-contractor passthrough; roughly $18,000 from designing the VLAN topology correctly the first time rather than specifying a larger switch count to mask sloppy segmentation; and roughly $17,000 from trimming a cabling overage where the original scope double-counted drops in the overlap between the bar and event zones.
With the savings, ownership elected to add what the original proposal had quietly omitted: interior and exterior IP camera coverage, two additional audio zones along the exterior patio, and a managed-services engagement for the first year of operations.
What actually ships when the doors open
- Bose pendant speaker arrays distributed across eight zones, QSC high-output DJ and stage audio with zone-aware controllers at the bar and the front desk.
- Ubiquiti UniFi network core: a 10G aggregation switch, five PoE access switches, fourteen Wi-Fi 6 access points, and a UniFi Protect camera platform with twelve IP cameras covering courts, bar, and perimeter.
- Cat6 throughout the venue, roughly 180 drops, each labeled on both ends with a diagram kept in the equipment room.
- Programmable access control on four staff and back-of-house doors, with audit logging retained for ninety days.
- Lockable rolling equipment cabinets so staff can reach the gear without a contractor callout.
- 1Password business deployment for the ownership team and on-site managers.
- Ongoing managed IT: 24/7 monitoring on the network core, quarterly review, and remote help-desk access for the staff using the venue systems.

SCI Electrical Services — South Texas
Family-run electrical contractor · El Campo, TX · sci-electric.com · Website rebuild & Cloudflare deployment
Drag the slider to compare the old site (left) with the rebuild (right).
The brief
SCI Electrical Services is a family-run electrical contractor working oilfield, commercial, and residential jobs across South Texas. Their old website opened with one oversized photo, a phone number, and a hamburger menu — a visitor had to scroll past a full screen of image before they learned anything about the company. On a phone it was worse. The business had sixteen years of work and an A+ reputation that the site simply was not communicating.
What we rebuilt
We kept what mattered — the brand, the phone numbers, the licensing — and rebuilt the rest as a fast, modern, mobile-responsive site. The new homepage leads with a clear statement of what they do and who they serve, surfaces the proof a customer actually checks (years in business, 24/7 emergency line, licensing, service areas), and routes people to a quote request instead of making them hunt for it.
- A cleaner, more professional design with a clear visual hierarchy and obvious calls-to-action.
- Mobile-responsive layout that reads well on the phones most of their customers use.
- Faster loading, deployed through Cloudflare's global network with SSL and modern security headers.
- Stronger technical SEO foundations — proper headings, metadata, and structured content.
- Easier long-term maintenance, with a hosting setup that currently carries no monthly hosting cost for this project.
A Note on Commodity Networking Gear
The Outlaw Pickle engagement produced an anecdote worth recording. After we won the work, the incumbent integrator resurfaced with a lower number, and the proposal they handed ownership was, on close reading, a copy of the design we had drawn, with the network equipment quietly swapped for TP-Link hardware.
We flagged the substitution and explained our reasoning at the time. In December 2024 the Wall Street Journal and Reuters reported that the Commerce, Defense, and Justice departments had opened investigations into whether TP-Link Systems posed a national security risk, citing the company's dominance of the U.S. consumer router market and documented exploitation of TP-Link devices in state-linked campaigns. In 2025 the House Select Committee on the Chinese Communist Party made a formal referral to Commerce. As of the date of this writing, the product line remains under federal review. None of that was public knowledge when the substitution was proposed at Outlaw Pickle. The reason we flagged it anyway is that we watch the advisories and think about supply-chain posture before it shows up on the news. That habit is part of what a client is paying for when they hire us.
Named Engagements
These clients are happy to be named, and the work speaks for itself. They span a national tint manufacturer, a healthcare group that walked away from an in-house IT department to come to us, and a student-housing operator we held down for years. The common thread is that BVTech does business-to-business technology — not just IT tickets — and we solve the problem in front of us even when the answer is unusual.
XPEL — 200+ Display Units Nobody Else Would Take
XPEL is the international paint-protection-film and window-tint company headquartered in San Antonio. They came to us with a job that, on paper, sounds simple and in practice was anything but: over two hundred tint display models that needed to be handled, serviced, and turned around — and they could not find anyone in San Antonio willing or able to take on a task at that volume.
This is where being a B2B solutions company, rather than a help-desk, actually matters. The right answer was not for BVTech to pretend we were a 50-person warehouse operation. The right answer was to architect the solution. We partnered with Steve’s Computer Repair, who had the warehouse footprint the job needed, and combined our two operations into a single delivery. XPEL could only move their product in a full-size truck, and Steve’s shop had a large warehouse access door — so we arranged the logistics around that constraint and made the hand-off work at his facility.
The outcome an owner cares about: a national brand’s overflow problem, which had no local taker, got solved by a coordinated BVTech-plus-partner operation built specifically to fit how the product physically moved. Finding the right provider and assembling the right team is the service.
Medical Interest Inc — They Left a 210-Person IT Department for Us
Medical Interest Inc came to BVTech from a large, in-house information-technology organization — a 210-person IT department. Leaving an internal IT operation of that size for an outside provider is not a decision an organization makes lightly, and it is not one we take for granted.
What they got after the move was, plainly, better service for less money: lower cost, faster response times, new computers, networking emergency support when they needed it, and direct help dealing with their internet service provider when the ISP was the problem. The things a large internal department often makes slow and bureaucratic — getting a fast answer, getting hardware refreshed, getting someone to actually own an outage — became quick and accountable.
The reason this engagement matters as a reference is the direction of the move. Organizations usually grow into a large IT department. Medical Interest Inc decided a focused outside partner served them better than the headcount they were carrying — and the response times and the cost both went the right way.
Synergy Fiber — Years of Coverage at a UTSA Student Living Center
We supported Synergy Fiber for years at their Student Living Center serving the University of Texas at San Antonio. Student housing is an unforgiving environment for a network — high density, constant turnover, and a resident population that will notice a Wi-Fi problem within minutes — and it demands an IT partner who can operate across the entire range of problems.
That range is the point of this engagement. On one end, we diagnosed major network switches when the core infrastructure was the issue. On the other end, the right fix was as simple as sending a tech out to swap a few wall plates, check the Wi-Fi, and handle the small stuff — the kind of straightforward work that keeps residents online and keeps a property running.
A good IT partner has to be able to do both: reason about enterprise switching when that is what is broken, and put a competent person on site with a screwdriver when that is what the situation actually needs. We did that for Synergy Fiber, year after year.
We have also held down organizations for the long haul — multi-year managed relationships where the value is steadiness, not a single dramatic project. The measure of those engagements is that the client stopped thinking about IT, because we were thinking about it for them.
Additional Representative Engagements
These are shorter write-ups of projects we are not naming publicly, either because the client asked us not to or because the engagement is still active and it would be premature. Each one describes the actual work and a real commercial range.
Boutique Law Practice
Seven-attorney firm with a paralegal and support pool of six. Existing infrastructure was a mix of personal Gmail accounts, a shared QuickBooks file on a tower PC, and no enforced MFA.
We moved the firm to Microsoft 365 Business Premium, deployed Conditional Access with MFA on every account, stood up encrypted email through Purview Message Encryption for client-privileged correspondence, rebuilt the file structure on SharePoint with versioning, and put the firm on a monthly MSP retainer.
Project: $6,400 one-time. MSP: $895/mo.
Specialty Medical Practice
Single-provider clinic with three clinical staff and two front-office. HIPAA exposure on a creaky network, EHR running on an aging Windows 10 workstation, and no documented backup strategy.
We segmented the PHI subnet from guest and admin traffic, replaced the clinical workstation with a supported Windows 11 Pro machine, enrolled all endpoints in Guardz EDR and dark-web monitoring for PHI identifiers, stood up encrypted off-site backup for the EHR and document shares, ran staff through a phishing awareness course, and documented the HIPAA administrative safeguards the practice needed to be able to evidence.
Project: $7,900 one-time. MSP + compliance: $1,240/mo.
Electrical Contractor
Family-run electrical company, six field crews and a two-person office. The business was running on personal email, a Yahoo address used for estimates, and a shared folder on somebody's desktop that only got backed up when the owner remembered.
We migrated the office to Microsoft 365, set the field crews up with M365 Basic and a shared estimates inbox, stood up OneDrive with mandated backup for every workstation, replaced the aging office network with a UniFi stack, and moved the company phones to a hosted VoIP platform with an auto-attendant so after-hours calls route correctly.
Project: $3,600 one-time. MSP + VoIP: $410/mo.
Structured Cabling Subcontract
Two-phase cabling buildout for a 12,000 sq ft office tenant-improvement. General contractor needed a low-voltage subcontractor who could hit a punch-list deadline without slipping.
Roughly 140 Cat6 drops, a 42U equipment rack, patch-panel dress-out, cable tray above ceiling, and a labeled as-built diagram handed to the tenant. Phase two added the Wi-Fi access points and the switch configuration once the tenant's IT vendor showed up with hardware.
Phase 1: $18,700. Phase 2 configuration: $3,200.
Independent Retail Shop
Single-storefront retailer with one cloud-based PoS terminal, Wi-Fi shared with customers, and a camera system the owner could not log into anymore.
Separated PoS traffic onto its own VLAN, stood up a small UniFi network with a guest SSID that is rate-limited and isolated, replaced the camera system with a four-camera UniFi Protect setup, and documented the whole thing on a one-page sheet taped inside the office cabinet so a future owner or a new manager can figure it out without calling us.
Project: $2,850. Ad-hoc support retainer: $85/mo.
Professional Services Group
Thirty-five seats across two offices, a shared-services IT department of one overloaded internal admin, and an appetite for structure that the incumbent MSP was not providing.
Co-managed engagement. We own the security stack, the patching cadence, the backup posture, and after-hours response. The internal admin owns user provisioning, line-of-business applications, and executive support. Quarterly business reviews with the leadership team produce the roadmap. No cookie-cutter package; the service plan is written to the environment.
MSP: $4,100/mo across both sites.
The Pattern, If You Are Looking for One
The engagements on this page do not look alike on the surface. A 24,000 sq ft pickleball venue and a family auction yard have almost nothing in common as businesses. What ties the work together is the same set of commitments applied to both: design the thing correctly the first time, buy equipment that is going to be supported by its manufacturer in five years, segment the network so a problem in one lane stays in that lane, and document everything so the next person to touch the environment is not starting from scratch.
If that is the kind of IT partner you have been hoping to find, the phone number is on every page of this site. The short version of the conversation is that we will come look at what you have, we will tell you what is working and what is not, and we will send you a proposal with real numbers on it.
