Before you close up those walls, talk to your security team!
The biggest mistake we see during a build or renovation? Running alarm wires without a clear plan from the experts.
Before a single wire is pulled, your GC, electrician, and alarm installer need to sit down and map out:
✔️ Exact wire counts for every door, window, and keypad
✔️ Where every line terminates (and if that hub location has proper power & network access)
✔️ How the alarm system communicates with the rest of the building (Wi-Fi, Ethernet, or cellular)
Planning ahead saves thousands in costly retrofits. Get everyone on the same page before drywall day!
