From system design and professional broadcast wiring to installation and integration, we design and build broadcast facilities that work the way you need them to.
Whether you're building a single Atmos theatre, upgrading a post-production suite or starting with a blank canvas, we take care of the technical detail, from system design and equipment supply through to installation, testing and handover.
Three decades in broadcast. One very experienced team.
Absolute CAD was founded in 2003 by Technical Director Mike Watson, following a 15 year career with the BBC and TSI Post Production.
More than 20 years later, we're still a small, hands-on team with a passion for designing and installing broadcast and post-production systems properly. We know what works, and more importantly what doesn't.
We design, build and install the technical infrastructure behind broadcast and post-production facilities.
From system schematics and rack layouts to beautifully dressed racks, fibre networks and final commissioning, we take care of the detail that makes everything work together.
Project Design
We design systems around your workflow, not the other way round. From the initial concept through to schematics, rack layouts & cable schedules, we make sure everything is properly thought through before the first cable is installed.

Installation
This is where our obsession with tidy wiring comes in. Our wiremen install, dress & terminate every connection with the same care, whether it's a client-facing edit suite or a rack buried away in a comms room.

Project Management
Good technical design is only part of the job. Our project management keeps equipment, contractors, installation and technical approvals moving in the right direction, helping projects arrive on time and on budget.

Behind every project is a small team of experienced people who know broadcast inside out, and are rather fond of getting the details right.

Some kind words from people we've worked with
We've always found Absolute CAD very professional. They have designed, installed and supervised two major projects for us. Both of which were trouble free, on time and more importantly on budget. Not only is their advice dependable, but also they'll go that extra mile especially with post install issues.
We commissioned absolute CAD to work as a partner to add their expertise in professional technical installations to enhance the new Avid Centre of Excellence - ACE. We felt reassured throughout the project that it would be completed on time and with an fantastic wiring finish.
Absolute CAD are a
pleasure to work with.
They provide a meticulous finish to
your project and their approach is
professional and open. They never
overlook the importance of an
immaculate technical installation.
We've had the pleasure of working with some hugely talented people across the broadcast and post-production industry. Here are a few of the companies we've been lucky enough to work with, and some we now consider friends.
