What did the last bad rack actually cost you?

A week of engineer time. A phone call to the client. A margin that went up in smoke.

Triumph builds your AV rack off site to AVIXA standard, tests every cable, ships it with a full completion certificate, and backs the work with the Triumph Rebuild Guarantee; if your rack doesn’t meet AVIXA standard, full cable test and the agreed scope on arrival, we rebuild it. £2500 per Pro rack. 

Your first build includes free delivery and on site install support see the Welcome Build below.

You already know what a bad rack looks like.

It looks like a Wednesday afternoon.

The site engineer rings. Labels don't match the schematic. He's spent two hours tracing what should have been a five minute patch. He can't finish today. You start moving people.

By Thursday, he's found something worse. An internal cable terminated wrong, cut too short to re-terminate. To replace it, someone has to unpick the dressing, lace a new cable run in through everything that's already been tidied, and put it back together. By Friday, you've put a second engineer on it, pulled off another job, which now slips too.

By next Wednesday, that rack works.

Then at handover, the client looks at it just a second too long. It's not as neat as it should be. The meeting is colder than it should be. You walk out already thinking about how to phrase the next quote.

Now multiply that across every rack you'll ship this year.

Now imagine a rack that arrives done.

Your engineer arrives on site. The labels match the schematic, line for line. Every cable is identified.  The cables are dressed to perfection. The completion certificate has shipped with the rack; every cable tested, every termination signed off, every power lead PAT tested. He wires in the field cables, powers up, and starts the next job by lunchtime.

That's what we ship.

Every Triumph rack is built in our Nottinghamshire workshop by own engineers, no subbing works out, no anonymous build. The engineer who builds your rack signs the completion certificate. His name is on the work. He has skin in the game.

He builds to AVIXA standard. Terminates every internal cable. Dresses it once and properly. Labels it from the schematic. Tests his work from top to bottom. And if anything isn't right when it arrives, the Triumph Rebuild Guarantee covers it; we rebuild it, no part credit, no compromise.

What arrives on site
  • Built to AVIXA standard, end to end
  • Every internal cable terminated, dressed and tested
  • Demarc rail for clean on site connection
  • Dedicated fire I/O connection point
  • Rack shelves and full cable management
  • Completion certificate, with certification on every Cat cable and PAT on every custom power lead
  • Triumph Rebuild Guarantee, standing on every build
 

The maths is closer than you think.

Most integrators assume off site rack build is a luxury. Run your own numbers and you'll find it isn't.

What a 50 cable rack actually costs you in house

At a £250 fully loaded engineer day rate. Swap in your own figure.

  • Four engineer days, building, dressing, terminating, labelling, testing: £1000

  • Material and consumables: £600 to £900

  • Workshop time (free if you don't cost it; real if you do): £100 to £200
  • Total: £1700 to £2100

Cash cost. Less than Triumph's £2500.

 

Now run the two lines almost no integrator counts. 

Those four engineer days were not on a client site, billing at your day rate. At £280, that's £1220 of revenue you didn't generate.

And the risk of remediation; the Wednesday phone call, the disturbed cabling, the cold handover, is priced into every in house build whether you account for it or not.

TRUE ECONOMIC COST IN HOUSE, BEFORE THE REMEDIATION PREMIUM

£2820 - £3220

 

A Triumph Pro rack is £2500. Your engineers stay on site, billable. The Rebuild Guarantee stands on every build. The cash cost is comparable. The output isn't.

WHERE IT GETS BUILT

20260203_100831

Our workshop in Boughton, Nottinghamshire. Where every Triumph rack is built, tested, and signed off before it ships. 

THE TEAM BEHIND IT

Triumph's engineers are employed by us, we don't sub projects out. AVIXA CTS qualified. PAT tests performed by PAT certified engineers. Each engineer signs the completion certificate for the work they build.

Name on the paper, name on the build.

The work above is the standard. The same team will build your rack. The Rebuild Guarantee stands on every build, because we know what arrives.

The Triumph Welcome Build

For AV integrators on their first build with Triumph.

Every new customer's first Triumph rack includes:

  • Free hand delivery within our 150 mile zone.
    Beyond that, mileage at our standard rate. Worth up to £1000.

  • A free half day on site install support visit from a Triumph engineer.
    Scheduled by mutual agreement. Worth £196 plus travel.

  • The Triumph Rebuild Guarantee.
    Standing on every build - first or fiftieth.

AVAILABLE ONCE PER COMPANY ON YOUR FIRST BUILD | £2500 PER PRO RACK

We're not building for the first rack. We're building for the second. Your first Triumph rack should land on your site without surprises, and a Triumph engineer should be there when you wire it in. Once you've seen the work in person, you'll know whether we earn your next one.

The Triumph Rebuild Guarantee

Every Triumph rack is built to AVIXA standard, tested cable by cable, and signed off by the engineer who built it.

If, within 14 days of delivery, your rack doesn't meet AVIXA standard, doesn't pass full cable test, or doesn't match the agreed scope - we make it right.

We send an engineer to your site within 5 working days. If it can't be put right on site, we take the rack to our workshop, rebuild it and redeliver within 10 working days. Materials, labour, transit - all on us.

Not a part credit. Not a discount on the next one. Not a "we'll get to it next month"' Whatever it takes to bring the build up to the standard you were quoted.

No quibbles. No excess. No fine print designed to wriggle out.

We wouldn't put the Rebuild Guarantee on every build if we weren't confident in what arrives. Have a look at the work above. then book the slot you need.

Questions PMs actually ask.

Before you book your first build, here are the answers to the things that come up most.

What's included in the £2500?

Everything inside the rack, except your AV equipment:

  • All internal cabling and terminations
  • Cable management hardware: lacer bars, internal tray, ties, Velcro
  • Cable idents on every termination, blanking and brush plates
  • Rack shelves and demarc rail
  • Dedicated fire I/O connection point and storage cubby

And with it: signed completion certificate, network test report on every Cat cable, PAT certificate on custom power leads, packaging for transit, the Triumph Rebuild Guarantee.

What's not included: the AV equipment itself, the rack chassis, PDU and cooling. Supply your own, or we source the chassis, PDU and cooling at trade.

What does £2500 cover for racks bigger or smaller than 50 cables?

£2500 covers up to 50 internal cables. Beyond that, £250 per additional ten. So a 70 cable rack is £3000, a 90 cable is £3500. We don't currently offer a lower tier for racks under 50 cables; the £2500 base applies whether you've got 30 or 50.

What if the design changes after I've placed the PO?

Changes are part of every build; we don't cap when you make them. Variations are quoted on time and materials at the point you ask. Get the change request to us in writing and we'll come back to you with the additional cost before we touch the build.

Can you work to our schematic format?

Send us your schematic as a PDF showing all internal cabling and labels. We'll build to your format and conventions. A separate cable list helps but isn't required. If you've got one send it; if not, we'll work from the schematic alone.

What if my client's site isn't ready when my rack is built?

Sites slip, we know. After your build slot, we hold the rack in our workshop for free for two weeks. Beyond that, storage is £150 per week. We'll always tell you the running cost before it starts accruing.

What insurance do you carry?

Public Liability £5m. Employer liability £10m. Products and Workmanship Liability £5m. Professional Indemnity £500,000. Underwritten by QBE UK Ltd through Sutton Specialist Risk. Certificates available on request - most integrators ask for one before their first PO, which is fine.

Do you ship outside the 150 mile zone?

We hand deliver anywhere on UK mainland. Within our 150 mile zone is included with the Welcome Build for new customers; beyond that, mileage at £0.45 per miles on top of the standard delivery rate. For Northern Ireland, the Channel Islands, or offshore - talk to us and we'll see what we can do.

 

Got a question we haven't covered? Tell us about your next rack and we'll cover it before you commit.

Your first build comes with free hand delivery and on site install support. Every build comes with the Triumph Rebuild Guarantee.
