Effective Production through Coordination

We provide detailed equipment lists and specifications to all project personnel representing all trades. This ensures that all areas are aware of what items are being installed in each area and any questions can be addressed and incorporated into the design and construction process.

Once on site, MODE Systems coordinates with both the construction trades as well as the fabrication and exhibit personnel. MODE Systems is able to work with the fabricator and their installers so that as galleries are completed with their assembly or construction, we can install all of the needed AV items.

We understand too that sometimes the construction process can have unforeseen delays or schedule changes and we are able to adjust our installation schedule and timeline to account for these.

We know that the project team and all of its members are working toward the same goal and that obstacles will present themselves. Rather than placing blame or arguing over who is responsible for creating obstacles, we believe constructive solutions are the most proactive approach to reaching the goal of a completed project.

Our approach is that solution-oriented task masters are the key to getting a project done on schedule and within the budget.

For many projects we organize key coordination with AV software programmers. Sometimes gallery-specific AV equipment needs to be installed at the Programmer’s Office. Thus we maintain constant and continual coordination on required hardware specifications and installation details.

We also hold bi-monthly meetings with software programmers to ensure that any AV equipment interactive developments are being tracked by both firms and to ensure everyone is on the same page working in sync for all AV exhibit galleries.

MODE Systems regularly participates in teleconferences as well as any required on-site meetings in addition to regular contact through email and phone as needed throughout the timeline of the project. Again, coordination is where MODE Systems stands out. Our primary project manager stays involved in all such communication to ensure everything runs smoothly.

MODE Systems’ Marc Headley shows Vizio VP Marketing Bart Brown & Vizio CEO William Wang
MODE’s programming of the Vizio VIA Tablet and how it controls the TV’s, Lights, Music and
Satellite programming of an entire sports bar.

"We have had the opportunity to first work with Marc Headley and MODE in 2008 for our first location, SOUTH. We had a specific idea of what we wanted. Marc and his team took that idea and brought it to an entire new level. The quality of the product they brought in, matched with their vision, and the efficiency of their team was amazing. It truly took our restaurant to a whole new level. Whenever there was need for upgrades/repair/etc. Marc was there in a flash of an eye.

"When we were ready to open our 2nd, and 3rd restaurants there wasn’t even a question. Marc took these locations (NY&C Pizza and The Garage) and put his stamp on them. There literally is nothing he can’t do, and he continues to impress us on every level.

"When SOUTH was approached by the industry giant VIZIO, they shared their vision of turning SOUTH into the first 3-D sports bar in the country. Marc was there with us from the beginning. He took the vision that both SOUTH and Vizio had and turned it into a national news story.

"Installation of the new facilities had to be excuted during off hours, between 2 am and 10 am for about a month. In that time not only did he install over 30 3-D Vizio televisions, but he also programmed tablets (which were thought to be undoable) to control virtually everything inside the building! He went on to developed manuals for staff, and served as my A/V point person in any and all decision with Vizio.

"It is unacceptable to say anything less: if you are considering an installation/project requiring professionalism, cutting edge, and a look that is not only clean, but eye-catching, there really is only one option. Marc Headley and MODE." — Adam Milstein, Owner of SOUTH, Powered by Vizio, NY&C Pizza and The Garage

CSI: The Experience

Children learn about the science and methodology of forensics in the CSI exhibit.

"Marc and I had the privilege of working together on "CSI: The Experience." Our team designed and created the media and worked closely with Marc to ensure a top notch exhibit. Thanks to Marc's AV hardware and installation knowledge and the media team, we were fortunate to win a TEA award for all of our combined efforts." — T.S.

 The Greens Up! Partners

Crisp, clean design at Greens Up!

"My partners and I are in the restaurant business. There are four of us — two New Yorkers, a Michigander and a Londoner so what we don’t know about Southern California business practices could fill a sizeable warehouse.

"When we first arrived in Los Angeles, keen to get our first restaurant open, we met, interviewed and eventually hired a number of different construction companies, designers and architects. After so many negative experiences we were honestly scratching our heads as to how so many things could go wrong with such regularity.

"Marc Headly of MODE Systems was recommended to us by another New Yorker who had used him before. He couldn’t have given a more glowing review and so we decided to meet with him.

"Upon meeting Marc we were instantly impressed. He certainly knew his business. He was also prompt, courteous and understanding. He possessed all the qualities one looks for when going into business. He’s honest, highly skilled and extremely hard working.

"Needless to say the work he carried out was stellar. The electrician he recommended was also excellent as was the architect he suggested. We were only too pleased to bring Marc and his entire team on board to oversee the construction of our second store and he will continue to be our go to guy for all future enterprises.

"If you are looking to get things done correctly and in a timely and efficient manner, look no further than Marc Headly and MODE."  — The Greens Up! Partners
