Standardising the AV across JLL APAC Workplaces
Global AV Standards: From Playbook to Blueprint
JLL manages 150 + offices across 17 countries. By codifying Global AV Standards—schematics, elevations and bills-of-materials—they reuse 80 % of drawings and cut design time by 40 %, while keeping cost estimates within ±10 %. konnectus.com.au The lesson: document once, deploy everywhere.

Exceptions log – rules for flagship spaces & regional supply quirks.
-
Governance cadence – quarterly reviews with IT, CRE & vendors to update specs.
