Builder-led schedules.
Low-voltage rough-in is coordinated with the electrician before drywall.
- 01
A short rough-in window
Low-voltage cable goes in after framing and before insulation, a window the builder sets and one that does not reopen.
- 02
Drawings for the trades
The builder and electrician get device locations and cable schedules before rough-in, so boxes, backing, and power are in the right place.
- 03
A room for the rack
A rebuild can give the equipment its own ventilated room on the plans, which a finished house seldom has to spare.
An Elmhurst property, drawn.
A rebuilt house fills its lot, with the rack at the back and the service run down the side yard.
What matters most in Elmhurst.
Technology planning and design
A builder-led schedule moves fast, so the low-voltage drawings have to be finished before the electrician walks the framing.
Structured wiring and equipment rooms
Every run is pulled, labeled, and checked before insulation, because after drywall a missing cable means opening a new wall.
Golf simulators
Ceiling height and room width are still lines on a drawing in a rebuild, which is when a simulator room should be planned.
Questions from Elmhurst.
When is low-voltage wiring installed in a new build in Elmhurst?
After framing and the electrical rough-in, and before insulation and drywall. Your builder sets that date, and we work toward it, with drawings done ahead of time. If we are called after the drywall is up, cable can often still be added, but with more effort and some patching.
Do we need an integrator in Elmhurst if our builder already has an electrician?
It depends on the house. The electrician handles power and fixtures, while we design and install the network, control, audio, video, and shade wiring, and coordinate the two before drywall. For a house with a router and a few televisions, you may not need us.
