Render's proven construction management technology is already working with a number of network operators taking advantage of Federal and State broadband grants
This guide outlines customer benefits and key areas in which Render drives value across upcoming BEAD program stages.
Understanding the BEAD timeline
As the program moves to the Subgrantee Selection and Final Proposals, Render is working with customers to:
1. Develop a cost-efficient and accurate construction scope
2. Build a deployment plan to meet schedule and milestone requirements
3. Mitigate delivery risk, including contractor, materials, resourcing, and commercial considerations.
4. Plan for funding reporting and compliance
Planning and scope accuracy for subgrantees
A data-driven network design ensures a more constructible deployment and its accuracy has a huge impact on the ability to deploy at speed and access all available time and cost savings.
BEAD templated reporting and compliance
Customized task and construction data capture streamlines reporting and the ability to prove completion. All BEAD-compliant data is instantly available in dashboards and downloadable reports for post-award reporting.
Accelerated build times and reduced delivery costs
It has never been more important for network
operators to achieve more with the resources
they have and consider labor-saving technologies to enable effective coordination and communication between field crews and the office and keep ‘boots on the ground busy’.
Reduced network delivery risk
Access 50+ years of deployment expertise, with industry best-practice methodologies built-in to unlock new levels of delivery efficiency and effectiveness.
