The house gets wired while the walls are open

CloudCentric · Charleston & the Lowcountry

The house gets wired while the walls are open

Cat6 to every room, every camera position, every door and the garage — plate locations set with the architect, run before the drywall, tested and certified after it.

Structured Wiring & New Construction

What goes in

The parts an install like this is actually made of. Every one is supplied and fitted with the work.

Built on Ubiquiti UniFi — one system for the network, the cameras and the doors. See the full range.

What we install

Cat6 to every room, every camera position, every door, the garage and the exterior points. Conduit and pull strings to the attic, the crawlspace and any outbuilding.

It goes in after framing and electrical rough-in, before insulation and drywall. Plate and camera locations get walked with you and the architect before that window opens.

Everything lands at one panel with power and ventilation. Every run is tested after drywall and labelled at both ends.

Builders and architects are welcome to call directly.

Questions we get asked

When does the wiring go in?

After the framing, mechanical, electrical and plumbing rough-in, and before insulation and drywall. The walk that sets plate locations happens earlier than that, while the drawings can still absorb a change.

Who does the coordination run through, us or the builder?

Both. The builder or GC owns the rough-in window and the site schedule, and on new construction the first call usually comes from them. Plate locations, camera positions and where the panel lives come from the owner and the architect.

Is it worth wiring for cameras before we have chosen a system?

Yes. The camera position is an architectural decision — sightline, mounting height, which way the light falls at four in the afternoon. The camera itself is a decision you can make later, and a Cat6 run to the corner of the porch works for whatever ends up on it.

Most of it will be wireless anyway. Does it still need cable?

Wireless still lands on a wire. Every access point is a cabled run to a specific ceiling or wall, and the difference between coverage that works everywhere and coverage that dies in the primary bath is usually where those runs went.

What about the pool house, the dock and the detached garage?

Conduit and pull strings go out to them while the ground is open and the trenching equipment is already on site. Nothing has to be specified yet for the path to exist.

How is a renovation different from a new build?

Same work, different access. Attics, crawlspaces and whatever walls are already coming open do most of it, and what can be reached versus what cannot is the question a walk of the house answers before any of it is scheduled.

Send the plans.

Sullivan's Island, Isle of Palms, Kiawah, Daniel Island, Mount Pleasant and downtown Charleston. Drawings and the stage the build is at are enough to start. Builders and architects are welcome to call directly.
