Single-family home pre-wiring

Complete low-voltage pre-wiring for modern homes. We map and run solid-copper Cat6A lines through dedicated pathways from a central media closet to all bedrooms, offices, and multimedia points.

Whether you're framing a new build or opening up walls for a retrofit, every run is planned around where your family actually needs a hardwired connection — home office, media room, kids' bedrooms, or an outdoor camera loop — and tested before we leave.

Cat6A pre-wiring and certified testing in a single-family home
What's Included

Mapped to how your family actually uses the house

Every room gets a plan before we run a single cable — bedrooms, home office, media room, an outdoor camera loop.

  • A walk-through room plan before we open a single wall
  • Low-profile RJ45 wall plates that match your finishes
  • A labelled room map handed over at the end of the job
  • Certified 10 Gbps testing on every drop, documented

Common Questions

Pre-wiring questions

A few questions specific to this service.

Most homes prioritize a home office, media room/TV point, bedrooms, and an exterior point for cameras. We'll walk your floor plan with you and suggest a drop count based on how your household actually uses each room.

Generally, yes — running a couple of extra drops per work area while walls are open is much cheaper than adding them later through finished drywall. It's a small cost now against a much bigger one down the road.

In most cases, yes — we fish cable through existing wall cavities and minimize new holes wherever possible. Some layouts make access harder and add cost, but we'll always walk you through that before we start, not after.

We supply the cabling and installation materials. You supply the active devices: switches, routers, PoE cameras, NVR/DVR recorders, and Wi-Fi access points.
