"The best decision I made in this multi-million-dollar project."

Three years ago, when I started looking for a security systems integrator, I ran into these professionals at ISC West in Las Vegas. I was impressed with their ability to be the comprehensive solution for our complex security requirements. Their leadership met with us and we knew we were entering into a collaborative relationship that made the design and plan meet our needs and budget. Their sales, engineering, and installation teams are dedicated to delivering value and performance. Pref-Tech’s contacts and suppliers within the security industry make them agile and current among emerging technologies. Working with Pref-Tech has been the best decision I made in this multi-million-dollar project.”

"An instrumental partner in airport projects"

Preferred Technologies was an instrumental partner in the completion of the 612V Project at George Bush Intercontinental Airport (IAH) and Hobby Airport in Houston, TX, as well as the New Terminal C North Project at IAH. Pref-Tech is a true customer first-based provider assisting from Preconstruction of the Program through the Construction, Close-Out and Warranty Phases ensuring all Owner requests were completed in a timely fashion. Their timely submission of submittals, pricing requests, and willingness to be nimble in regard to schedule changes truly helped ensure both Programs were completed on time and in budget.
