Quantity can vary greatly depending on property architecture, density and geography. We found that a single access point can support up to eight apartments with 2-3 tenants in each. For a complete list of all equipment used, please see the budget section of this playbook.
Some funding sources will require detailed documentation of not only cost, but also the chain of custody for the hardware. Keeping detailed documentation also helps keep track of equipment when working on multiple projects.
Recommendation
Take photos of the equipment and documents (e.g. packing slip) to later reference.
Items to record upon receipt:
– Device Name
– Serial Number
– Date Ordered
– Vendor
– Date Received
