Project Management
Beyond overseeing construction and splicing, we proactively address the challenges that such projects may pose to local communities, governments, and utilities. Our leadership fosters collaboration with utility locating services to prioritize safe excavation and minimize risks to existing underground infrastructure. By leveraging an internal database system, we efficiently manage materials, workflows, and quality documentation, ensuring transparency at every step.
Our local project management team also builds strong relationships with municipalities and utility providers to ensure seamless project execution. From securing necessary permits and complying with traffic management requirements to maintaining open lines of communication with city officials and utility representatives, we work to minimize disruptions and maintain public trust. This holistic approach allows us to meet project milestones while respecting the needs of the communities we serve.
Engineering & Permitting
Through strategic partnerships with industry leaders, we provide a full suite of engineering and permitting services to complement our construction capabilities. From network technology selection and fiber capacity planning to utility pole coordination and shelter site selection, our solutions are designed to remove complexities, keeping your project moving forward without delays.
Our partnerships enable us to navigate regulatory landscapes efficiently, leveraging cutting-edge technology to deliver precise engineering solutions. We integrate these services seamlessly into every project, ensuring comprehensive support from route planning to permit acquisition.
Material Procurement
By taking full responsibility for the procurement process, we ensure materials are sourced, allocated, and delivered with efficiency. From an initial joint review of the Bill of Materials (BOM) to tracking inventory levels in real-time, our streamlined approach allows us to monitor material usage down to the crew level, ensuring every team has what they need to meet project demands on time.
Our integration of material management into project workflows simplifies the process for clients while providing full transparency. Through advanced tools we deliver regular automated reports detailing inventory levels and material usage. This approach minimizes waste, maximizes productivity, and keeps projects on schedule. Whether managing procurement end-to-end or overseeing client-provided materials, National OnDemand ensures every phase of material management aligns with project timelines and specifications.

For small cell installations, our teams are equipped to handle all aspects, from antenna placement on utility poles and buildings to power integration and ongoing maintenance. We bring the same expertise to DAS projects, ensuring seamless indoor coverage in venues like hospitals, stadiums, and campuses. With a fleet of specialized equipment and certified technicians, National OnDemand delivers wireless solutions that enhance coverage and capacity while meeting the unique challenges of each project.
Case Study
National OnDemand played a critical role in helping Tri-County Electric Cooperative realize its ambitious goals with the TriCoLink project. From the outset, National demonstrated their commitment to the community and the project by quickly integrating into the local workforce, employing local contractors, and ensuring a strong presence within the area. Their ability to stay six months ahead of schedule, despite initial skepticism from local agencies about the feasibility of the project timeline, was a testament to their efficiency and dedication. National’s approach to community involvement and their seamless integration into the cooperative’s operations helped build trust and fostered a positive working relationship.
