20+ Years Industry Experience
Hands-on knowledge across telecoms, fibre, cabling and connected building systems.
Short by Design gives customers a clearer way to plan, build and improve the infrastructure their teams depend on every day.
Customers need people who understand the technical detail and the reality of live sites. We bring senior telecoms experience, practical judgement and clear communication from the first survey through to handover.
Hands-on knowledge across telecoms, fibre, cabling and connected building systems.
Senior guidance from survey and design through to sign-off.
Work planned around site risks, access requirements and operational constraints.
Clear recommendations based on what the site needs, not what is easiest to sell.
Mike founded Short by Design after two decades across field engineering, fixed-line telecoms, infrastructure design and programme delivery.
His background covers the practical side of site work and the planning discipline needed to deliver larger programmes. That mix shapes how Short by Design works: clear surveys, sensible designs, safe delivery and honest communication.
The aim is simple. Give customers direct access to experienced advice, then deliver the work neatly, safely and without unnecessary noise.
A prospective client should feel confident that the advice is practical, the scope is understood and the finished work will be easy to operate after we leave site.
Surveys, designs and recommendations are written around the real site, not assumptions.
Cabling, fibre, WiFi, CCTV and telecoms design are considered together so the infrastructure works as one system.
Testing, labelling and documentation give your team confidence in what has been installed.
No vague estimates. No confusing process. No handover gap. The work should be clear before it starts and dependable when it is finished.
A calm, standards-led approach for customers who want the work handled with care, clarity and accountability.
One joined-up view from first look to finished installation.
Clear outputs that make ongoing support easier.
Plain updates, direct accountability and fewer surprises.
Tell us what you are planning and we will help you shape the next step.
