Our partnership with Py Gem started a little over a year ago in 2021. We have had the privilege of working with them for two of their locations. Not only have they been rated #1 in windows vinyl siding and metal accessories, they also have a portfolio like no other and are backed by industry-leading warranties! They are a division of Cornerstone Building Brands and they have a huge selection of great quality building products which includes windows, patio doors and sliding to designer accent, stone veneer, also fence and railing.

Starting with the West Sacramento location, we’ve done a great deal of work out there. We began working on this location in June of 2021 with a few CAT6 cable installations here and there. It was not until recently that we started a huge project there. This project includes the installation of 45 new CCTV cables with the installation of 45 CCTV cameras, installing a 24 port switch in 5 different IDF (Intermediate Distribution Frame) locations, more CAT6 CMR cabling to hook up to 8 TV locations and then mounting those 8 Samsung 65″ TV’s (as pictured above). With these TV’s Ply Gem is now able to use Samsungs Magicinfo Software, which gives them the capability to display any announcements or information necessary to communicate with employees through out the warehouse.
We also did an access control system throughout the building, our techs installed 10 electrified door handles, 6 electrified panic bars on the storefronts doors, a delay egress on break room gate, 8 battery powered sirens on warehouse doors, a 2-way video intercom system with the door release feature for the truck driver entrance and 16 card readers. Our techs hooked up and tested every piece installed by the Workman team.

Our partners at Ply Gem loved our work and chose to contract our Workman team once again to take care of a secondary location outside of the Northern California area . At this location our team installed 58 new CCTV cables and 58 CCTV cameras,
(1) 24port switch in 5 different IDF locations using their existing fiber, they also installed CAT6 CMR cables to (2) IDF locations due to fiber not being in place, 12 door sirens on non-exit doors which included a battery powered alarm, a new card reader at a door location, a new 2 door access control system using existing wiring, and to finish off they hooked up and tested all the equipment installed. This project was estimated to take about a month to complete but our team did such an amazing job and completed it in no more that 2 weeks!
We hope everyone has had a great week and enjoyed a sneak peak into what we have been up to!
Please note that we will be closed on Monday, September 5,2022 for labor day weekend.
We hope you all have a fun and safe weekend.
