Meeting room AV cost by room size
Like-for-like hardware configurations for all five vendors we deploy, priced from our live price book (July 2026, ex VAT). Each cell is a complete configured room - video bar, touch controller, expansion mics and displays where the size needs them. Installation and commissioning are additional - covered below.

There is no "best" vendor - there is the right one for your site
Three things decide it: the platform your business runs on, what your buildings allow, and how your teams actually meet. We install all five vendors, so our advice starts with your rooms - not a brand target.
Estimate your rooms in ten seconds
Pick a room type and how many you need. The estimate uses the same catalogue prices and rate-card labour as everything else on this page, including the multi-room saving on install labour. No email required.

The same arithmetic we use in real quotes, so you can see exactly how a total is built.

Five medium rooms, one rollout

Per-room install labour here runs ~55% below the single-room example - that's the rollout economy of scale, from the same taper our Room Builder uses.
Installation costs, and how multi-room rollouts scale
Single room
Professional installation runs £1,080 per engineer-day, with commissioning from £500 per room - testing, platform enrolment and documented sign-off. A straightforward room is usually £1,400 to £1,800 of labour on top of hardware, more where cabling or containment work is needed.
Multi-room rollout
Survey, design and project management are shared across the estate, so per-room labour falls fast. Our largest single programme standardised 44 rooms across one multi-floor building under one design and one project manager.
What moves the price
Room size and audio complexity
Seats dictate camera coverage and microphone count. Once a room needs ceiling microphones, DSP processing or speech reinforcement, audio becomes the biggest line on the quote - often more than the video bar itself.
Displays: one, two, or a wall
A second display for dual-screen Teams or Zoom layouts adds roughly £1,100 to £1,600 at 75″. LED video walls for boardrooms and town-hall spaces are a different budget class - see our video walls page.
Cabling, containment and building works
New-build rooms with containment in place install fastest. Retrofitting occupied buildings - lifting floors, chasing walls, out-of-hours access - adds labour days that have nothing to do with the AV hardware.
Installation and commissioning
Professional installation runs £1,080 per engineer-day and commissioning from £500 per room (testing, platform enrolment, sign-off). A single straightforward room is typically £1,400 to £1,800 of labour all-in; on multi-room projects the per-room labour cost falls sharply.
Platform and licensing
Room hardware is platform-certified for Microsoft Teams, Zoom or Google Meet. Licensing is additional - Teams Rooms Pro is around £26 per room per month. Our Teams Room cost guide covers that side in detail.
Neat vs Poly vs Logitech vs Yealink vs Cisco: which fits the way you work?
All five are excellent platforms - that is why we deploy them all. What separates them is fit: the shape of your rooms, the platform your business runs on, and how your teams actually meet.
Neat
One-box simplicity that standardises beautifully across multi-room estates - like the 8-room council estate in our case studies.
HP Poly
Excels in larger and audio-complex rooms - and as an authorised HP partner, our supply and warranty run direct.
Logitech
The familiar choice for IT teams: easy BYOD, broad ecosystem, painless to manage.
Yealink
Strong value for straightforward, budget-led single rooms.
Cisco
The standard where Webex or an existing Cisco estate sets the direction.
Which one for your rooms? That depends on your platform, your buildings and how your people meet - a 30-minute conversation, not a spreadsheet decision.
