The studio specialist on your project

More fit-outs now include a room for content — a podcast booth, a photography studio, a space for training video. Most architects and builders don't specify production equipment every week, and they shouldn't have to. Meros works alongside architects, interior designers, builders and AV integrators in Sydney to design and deliver the studio part of the project.

01 — For architects and interior designers

Studio documentation for tender

Specifying a studio into a project that hasn't gone to tender yet is where most studio problems start — a room drawn without the ceiling height, power or depth it needs, discovered only once the builder is on site.

 

Meros provides a studio render with rough positioning of lighting, rigging, backgrounds and key equipment, for the builder to redraw into the tender set. You get a clear picture of what the studio needs from the base building — ceiling height, power, data, blackout and acoustic requirements — early enough to design it in rather than retrofit it.

 

Builders verify all measurements in their own drawings. Our documentation shows what the studio needs and where it goes; the construction drawings remain the builder's.

What's included

  • A 3D render of the studio with rough positioning of lighting, rigging, backgrounds and key equipment

  • The base-building requirements the studio depends on: ceiling height, power, data, blackout and acoustics

  • A priced equipment list, so the studio can be budgeted before tender

02 — For AV and IT integrators

We do the studio. You keep the rest.

Meros designs and fits out production spaces only — lighting, cameras, audio for content, backdrops, cycloramas and studio infrastructure. We don't do meeting rooms, displays, conference AV or IT networks.

 

That makes the boundary simple. On a shared project, Meros designs and fits out the studio, the integrator keeps the AV and IT scope, and Meros never approaches your client directly. When a project includes a production space you don't specialise in, we take that part off your hands without touching the rest.

04 — Why bring in a specialist

What a studio specialist catches early

  • Ceiling heights that rule out the lighting the studio needs, found at design rather than at installation.

  • Power and data in the wrong places, or not enough of them, for permanently mounted lighting and cameras.

  • Rooms too shallow for the separation between subject and background that makes video look professional.

  • Glass, windows and hard surfaces that create lighting or acoustic problems no equipment fixes.

  • Air conditioning noise and ducting that a microphone hears even when people don't.

  • Equipment specified by brand from a catalogue rather than by what the room needs to produce.

Partner FAQs

Does Meros work with architects and builders?

Yes. Meros provides studio renders with rough equipment positioning for architects' tender documents, and works alongside architects, interior designers, builders and AV integrators on fit-outs in Sydney.

What does Meros provide for tender documentation?

A 3D studio render with rough positioning of lighting, rigging, backgrounds and key equipment, the base-building requirements the studio depends on, and a priced equipment list. The builder redraws the positioning into the tender set and verifies all measurements.

Will Meros compete with our AV integrator?

No. Meros designs and fits out production studios only, and doesn't do meeting rooms, displays, conference AV or IT networks. On shared projects, the integrator keeps the AV and IT scope, and Meros never approaches their client directly.

Can Meros help on projects outside Sydney?

Studio consulting and design documentation are available anywhere by video. Builds outside Sydney are considered case by case.

Tell us about the project and where the studio sits in it. The earlier we see the drawings, the less there is to fix later.
