Many of the today’s new homes offer only a fraction of what it might needed to connect, control and distribute the systems being installed. Builders are just beginning to identify the added value of professionally installed structured pre-wiring and low voltage systems. Over the years builders have used their electricians to run the low voltage cables. The advanced electronic systems available now require a specially trained professional to properly design and install pre-wired structured cabling.
New construction and complete remodels are the perfect time to run new low voltage audio, video, communication and control cables. Pre-wire is best when all walls and ceilings are accessible and open to efficiently run new cables. Retro-wiring is done after the walls and ceilings are finished, this method of wire pulling is the most costly. Not only is there added cost for labor but there will also be added cost for patching holes, texturing and painting.
