Why Pre-Wire During Construction

Building a new home gives you a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to integrate technology the right way—before the walls are closed up. Pre-wiring during construction isn't just about saving money; it's about creating a home where technology works seamlessly and looks like it was always meant to be there.

• Completely Hidden Wiring: All cables run through walls and ceilings before drywall goes up, meaning zero visible wires, no surface-mounted conduit, and a clean, professional appearance that's simply impossible to achieve when retrofitting technology into finished spaces.
• Perfect Placement Every Time: Speakers, outlets, and control panels are installed exactly where they should be for optimal performance and convenience, rather than compromising locations based on where you can access walls after construction is complete.
• Future-Proof Infrastructure: Conduit and extra wiring runs installed now create easy pathways for technology upgrades later, protecting your investment and ensuring your home can adapt to future needs without tearing into finished walls.
• Options That Disappear Later: In-wall and in-ceiling speakers, flush-mounted displays, and integrated control panels are realistic during construction but become exponentially more difficult and expensive once your home is finished.

The Cost Advantages Of Building It In

Pre-wiring during construction costs a fraction of what you'd pay to add the same technology after move-in. When walls are open and contractors are already on-site, running wires and installing infrastructure is straightforward work that doesn't require cutting into finished surfaces, patching drywall, matching paint, or working around furniture and daily life. Retrofitting technology into a finished home means paying for demolition, repair, and restoration work on top of the actual installation—expenses that can double or triple your total project cost. Even better, there's no disruption to your daily routine, no dust and debris in your living spaces, and no waiting weeks for repairs to be completed and repainted. The infrastructure you install during construction—network cabling, speaker wire, power outlets in optimal locations—adds significant value to your home while costing relatively little when integrated into the building process. Smart buyers expect modern technology infrastructure in new homes, making pre-wiring an investment that pays dividends in both daily enjoyment and eventual resale value.

What We Pre-Wire & Why

Every home is different, but there are core technology systems that make sense to plan for during construction. We work with you and your builder to create a customized pre-wire plan that matches your lifestyle, budget, and vision for how you'll use each space in your new home.

• Home Theater & Media Rooms: In-wall speaker wiring for surround sound systems, power and HDMI connections for displays and projectors, equipment rack locations, and acoustic preparation that creates amazing entertainment spaces you'll use for years.
• Whole-House Audio: Speaker wire to every room where you want music, volume control locations in convenient spots, source equipment wiring, and outdoor speaker runs that bring entertainment throughout your entire property.
• Network Infrastructure: Cat6 Ethernet and fiber optic cabling to support high-speed internet throughout your home, WiFi access point locations for seamless coverage, and a central networking hub setup that eliminates dead zones and connectivity frustrations.
• Smart Home Automation: Low-voltage wiring for lighting controls, motorized shade connections, thermostat locations, security system pre-wire, and the backbone infrastructure that makes whole-house automation possible and expandable.
• Outdoor Entertainment: Buried speaker wire for landscape and patio audio, weatherproof outlet locations, outdoor display power and connections, and landscape lighting infrastructure that turns your backyard into an extension of your living space.
