For Builders
Low-voltage prewire, structured wiring and smart home wiring for new construction, built for Dallas spec and custom home builders. A clear plan before framing closes, a clean rough-in on your schedule, and one point of contact from rough-in to move-in.
Spec Home Builders
- A recommended cabling plan drawn for the floor plan, or wiring to your own spec.
- Prewire at rough-in: TV locations, speakers, Wi-Fi access points, cameras, doorbell and gate intercoms, all home-run to an equipment location.
- Finish-out your way: blank wall plates, or cable left coiled behind the drywall for the buyer to decide later.
- Every location is recorded on video before drywall. When the home sells, the buyer gets a direct introduction, so the system can be finished without guessing where anything is.
Custom Home Builders & Designers
- Early design meetings with the builder, designer and homeowner, before plans are final.
- The system is designed around how the family will live: media rooms, whole-home audio, lighting control, shades, Wi-Fi and security.
- Coordinated with the electrician and lighting plan so keypads, speakers and TVs land in the right places.
- Prewire, trim-out, programming and support after move-in, handled by the same person who designed it.

How It Works
Prewire Questions
What should I prewire when building a house?
Data cabling to TV locations, offices and ceiling spots for Wi-Fi, speaker wiring for music and surround sound, and wiring for cameras and the doorbell or gate intercom, all running back to one central equipment location. The right mix depends on the house and how it will be used. Wire is inexpensive while the walls are open and expensive to add later.
When does low-voltage prewire happen?
After framing and electrical rough-in, before insulation and drywall. The best time to review the plan is at framing, when locations can still be adjusted on site.
Does the equipment need its own space?
Yes. Plan a small closet or room for the equipment early, with its own power and ventilation. Exact requirements depend on the system and are worked out during the plan review.
Do I need to pick equipment before prewire?
Mostly no. The prewire only needs locations and cable types, so TVs, speakers and network gear can be chosen later. A few items, like motorized shades and lighting keypads, should be decided early because they change what gets wired.
What is structured wiring?
Structured wiring means every cable (data, speaker and video) runs from its room back to one central equipment location. That makes the home easy to network, troubleshoot and upgrade for years.
Can the prewire be left unfinished for the buyer?
Yes. On spec homes the cable can be finished with blank wall plates or left behind the drywall. Every location is recorded on video before drywall, so the buyer can finish the system later without guessing.
