New Construction & Ground-Up Commercial Technology Infrastructure
Licensed low-voltage contracting, structured cabling, fiber riser backbones, physical access control, video surveillance, and carrier coordination for general contractors, developers, and commercial builders across Southern California.
Overview: Reliable Subcontractor Partner for Commercial Builds
Executing technology infrastructure on ground-up developments and major commercial renovations requires strict adherence to project schedules, architectural plans, and trade coordination. Cami Networks provides full-service low-voltage contracting for General Contractors (GCs), real estate developers, electrical trades, and commercial architects.
As a licensed California C-7 low-voltage contractor, we manage the complete low-voltage lifecycle. From initial plan takeoffs and budget estimating to rough-in, ceiling pathway construction, trim, equipment room buildouts, and certified closeout testing, Cami Networks delivers clean execution and single-source accountability.
Core Construction Capabilities
1. Plan Takeoffs, Estimating & Pre-Construction RFIs
Thorough plan analysis ensuring accurate bidding and scope clarity before construction begins:
- Detailed line-item takeoffs performed from architectural, electrical, and telecommunications drawings (T-drawings).
- Proactive Requests for Information (RFIs) to identify pathway conflicts, backboard placement, or power requirement gaps early in the planning stage.
- Value-engineering options to help keep project budgets aligned without compromising performance or code compliance.
2. Structured Cabling & Fiber Riser Backbones (Rough-In & Trim)
Precision installation across every phase of commercial building construction:
- Rough-In Stage: Installing J-hooks, cable trays, wire baskets, conduit sleeves, and pulling plenum Cat6/Cat6A copper data drops prior to drywall installation.
- Fiber Optic Risers: Single-mode and multimode optical fiber backbone installations connecting main service entrances (MDF) across building floors and tenant suites (IDFs).
- Fire-Stop Sealing: Code-compliant penetration sealing at wall and floor firewall transitions.
- Trim Stage: Clean faceplate mounting, module termination, rack dressing, and patch panel labeling.
3. MDF / IDF Closet Construction & Equipment Racks
Building organized, thermally efficient telecommunications rooms ready for tenant move-in:
- Floor-standing server racks, wall-mount enclosures, ladder racks, and power distribution units (PDUs).
- Patch panel installation, color-coded cable dressing, and systematic port labeling.
- Grounding and bonding of equipment racks according to commercial telecommunications standards.
4. Commercial Access Control & Smart Entry Pre-Wire
Pre-wiring and installing scalable door access hardware for core building security:
- Cabling and hardware installation for smart card readers, mobile credentials, keypads, and video intercom panels.
- Electric strike, magnetic lock, power supply, and emergency egress hardware installations meeting life-safety and commercial building codes.
- Vehicle barrier gate and perimeter access control pre-wiring.
5. IP Video Surveillance (CCTV) Infrastructure
Comprehensive wiring and mounting for indoor and outdoor visual security:
- Pre-wiring ceiling drops for high-definition IP camera locations covering lobbies, hallways, stairwells, loading docks, and parking structures.
- Mounting cameras, configuring Power over Ethernet (PoE) network switches, and setting up central NVR/VMS storage.
6. Carrier Entrance (MPOE) & Demarcation Extensions
Coordinating outside utility connections to ensure site turn-up timelines are met:
- Working alongside regional telecommunications carriers during initial utility entrance planning.
- Extending optical fiber and copper from the main point of entry (MPOE) basement or utility pad directly to internal MDF server closets.
The Construction Lifecycle: Phase-by-Phase Execution
- Phase 1: Pre-Construction: Submittal preparation, product specification matching, site safety planning, and trade schedule alignment.
- Phase 2: Rough-In: Pathway installation, cable pulling through wall studs and ceiling spaces, fire-stop penetration sealing, and rough-in inspection support.
- Phase 3: Trim & Termination: Surface faceplates, jack terminations, server rack assembly, patch panel dressing, camera mounting, and door lock wiring.
- Phase 4: Testing & Closeout: End-to-end ANSI/TIA drop certification, labeled floor plan markups, as-built drawings, and final punch list completion.
