HOW WE HELP ARCHITECTS AND DESIGNERS

We partner with design firms during the preliminary phase to ensure “as-specified” lighting and controls meet your customer's budget and schedule with multi-vendor costs locked in at bid time.

The MLS Way provides 100% of the transparency needed to protect your lighting packages and, as the designated distributor, we will build a long-lasting relationship based on trust and a good line of communication.

EXPERT INSIGHT

Get expert advice and multi-vendor cost and lead time analysis so you can make informed decisions on product selection.

TIMELY DELIVERY

Minimize the number of plan reworks and meet your design objective on time with clarity into the bidding phase.

HONEST COMMUNICATION

Rely on us to provide transparency on pricing so you can stay within budget while achieving your design intent.

HOW WE HELP

Together with the Design Team, MLS will simplify the process of acquiring “as-specified” architectural, custom, and decorative lighting and control packages that meet your design vision and the owner’s budget objectives during the schematic design phase. We will then lock in the complete BOM before bid, delivering within budget and on time without costly redesign or loss of the design intent through the VE process.
