Wire It Right
While the Walls Are Open.
We work with your builder during the framing stage so every wire is exactly where it needs to be. Cat6, speaker wire, HDMI, coax. Future-proofed from day one.
The Problem
The Walls Are Closed. Now What?
You move into your brand-new home and realize there's no Ethernet in the home office. No speaker wire to the living room ceiling. No HDMI run to where you want the projector. The builder put a single coax drop in the family room and called it done. Now you're looking at wireless workarounds, visible cable runs, and the sinking feeling that you should have planned this before the drywall went up. Retrofitting wiring into finished walls is expensive, messy, and sometimes impossible. The time to get it right is during framing.
What We Do
The Foundation for Every Smart Home System
Pre-Wire Planning
We review your floor plans before construction starts and create a complete wiring diagram. Where do you want speakers? Where's the TV going? Where does the home office need Ethernet? What about cameras outside? We plan every run so your builder's electrician knows exactly what to rough in. And we coordinate directly with your builder so there are zero surprises.
Structured Cabling
Cat6 Ethernet for networking and cameras. 14-gauge speaker wire for audio. HDMI for projectors and media rooms. Coax where it's still needed. We run it all to a central structured media panel, properly labeled, properly terminated, and ready for whatever equipment you want to install now or five years from now. Clean, organized, and built to last decades.
Builder Partnerships
We work with builders and general contractors throughout Southern Colorado. Our team shows up during the framing stage, runs all the low-voltage wiring, and coordinates with the electrician on box placement and conduit. We've done this enough times to know the workflow, and builders appreciate working with a low-voltage sub who shows up on time and doesn't slow down the schedule.
Future-Proofing
Technology moves fast. The smart home products that exist today will be different in five years. That's why we run extra conduit to key locations and pull extra cables where they make sense. Want to add cameras later? The wire is already there. Thinking about a home theater in the basement? The HDMI and speaker wire are waiting for you. We plan for the house you'll want, not just the house you're building today.

For Builders and GCs
Where Low-Voltage Pre-Wire Fits in the Build Schedule
We schedule the rough-in between framing inspection sign-off and drywall delivery. That window is usually three to five business days, and we plan our trip to land on the third day so the framers and electricians have already cleared. We do not block insulation or HVAC.
Standard sequence we follow on a typical 2,500 sq ft home:
- Day 1 of our window: walk the framed home with the build superintendent. Confirm panel location, AP placement against the architectural plans, camera locations against final exterior elevations.
- Day 2: rough-in. Two technicians on a typical 2,500 sq ft home. Cat6a, RG6, low-voltage runs, structured panel mounted, camera back-boxes installed.
- Day 3: labeling, photo documentation, sign-off photos to the GC. We text or email the GC the same day.
Insulation crews go in clean. Drywall does not have to wait on us.
What We Hear From GCs
The Three Things That Slow Down Most Pre-Wire Subs
Late-stage homeowner change orders. Homeowner sees the model home and decides they want a 4-zone Sonos and outdoor speakers after rough-in is done. We handle this by capturing the homeowner's wish list at the design phase, not the rough-in phase, and pricing it as an option pack the GC can present at the design center.
Schedule slippage on someone else's work. If framing slips two weeks, our window slips with it. We hold the slot and notify when we can flex; we do not show up early and waste a trip.
Walk-through punch-list creep. Cameras misaimed, AP placement that fights drywall texture, missing labels in the structured panel. Our day-3 sign-off photos exist exactly to prevent this.
Sample Scope of Work
What a Typical Pre-Wire SOW Includes
For a 4-bedroom, 2,800 sq ft home with a 4-camera exterior package:
- Home-run cat6a from each bedroom + great room + study to the structured panel (typical: 8 runs)
- Six ceiling-mount AP locations (typical for 2-story Colorado floor plans)
- Four exterior camera locations: doorbell + driveway + two side elevations
- RG6 to two TV locations (great room + primary)
- Structured panel mounted in mechanical or laundry, 2-gang power adjacent
- Photo documentation + labeled patch terminations + a one-page leave-behind for the homeowner
Builder line-item pricing available on request. We send a single invoice on the day of sign-off.

Common Questions
When in the build should we pre-wire?
After framing and rough electrical, before drywall. That window, usually a week or two, is when we run low-voltage cable, install back boxes, and mark outlet and speaker positions.
Do you coordinate directly with my general contractor?
Yes. We read plans, walk the site with your GC and electrician, and schedule around their rough-in timing. Most GCs we work with appreciate having a low-voltage specialist coordinating in parallel.
What does a pre-wire include?
Cable runs for cameras, Wi-Fi access points, in-ceiling and in-wall speakers, TV locations, control keypads, data drops, and a central termination spot (usually a structured wiring cabinet in a mechanical room or closet). Wiring for shades and motorized blinds too if planned.
Do I have to pick all the final equipment before pre-wire?
No. We pull conservative pre-wire that leaves options open, so you can finalize equipment choices closer to move-in when the home feels real.
Can the pre-wire be part of the builder's construction budget?
Yes. We quote the pre-wire as a line item you can hand to the builder, and we invoice through them or directly, whichever way the project is set up.
