The 7 questions
- Turnkey or just panels? A supplier who only ships materials leaves coordination — and risk — on you. A turnkey partner owns planning, design, manufacturing, installation and testing.
- Who is accountable for the acceptance test? Make sure one partner guarantees the shielding performance, not a chain of subcontractors.
- Will you coordinate with our MRI manufacturer and general contractor? Smooth OEM/GC coordination is what keeps a build on schedule.
- How fast can you install — and can the room be relocated later? Demountable systems reduce downtime and protect your investment if you move.
- What is your track record, and where? Ask for installations in facilities like yours, in your region and internationally.
- How do you handle multi-site or international rollouts? One accountable partner across locations beats juggling local vendors.
- What happens after installation? Door seals and penetrations need support over time — ask about maintenance.
Why it matters for your bottom line
The cheapest quote is rarely the cheapest project. Coordination gaps, schedule slips and a failed acceptance test cost far more than the shielding itself. The right partner removes that risk — which is exactly what a turnkey model is designed to do.
