Network Planning for Moving or Renovation

Pre-move or renovation planning to ensure reliable connectivity from day one — cable routing, access point placement, and infrastructure decisions made before walls are closed.

Back to Private Customers Network planning for moving or renovation

What This Service Addresses

The most cost-effective time to design a home network is before construction or renovation is complete. Once walls are closed, adding cable runs costs many times more than including them during the build. Access point placement that makes sense for furniture layouts and construction can only be planned with construction drawings — not after furniture is in place.

This service provides professional network planning while changes are still easy and inexpensive to implement.

Planning Scope

  • Analysis of floor plans and construction drawings for cable routing
  • Ethernet socket placement recommendations for each room
  • Access point placement for full-property Wi-Fi coverage
  • Equipment closet / patch panel location recommendations
  • Specification of cable categories and requirements
  • Equipment selection recommendations aligned to the property size and use case

What You Receive

  • Network infrastructure plan with cable routing, socket positions, and equipment locations
  • Equipment specification and recommendations
  • Contractor briefing document for the electrician or builder
  • Post-installation verification (once infrastructure is in place)

Typical Situations

  • Building a new home and wanting to plan the network before walls are closed
  • Renovating and opening walls, so now is the time to add cable runs
  • Moving to a new property and wanting a plan before furniture goes in
"A network planned before construction costs a fraction of one retrofitted afterwards."

Frequently Asked Questions

When is the right time to engage for a renovation?

Before walls are closed. Once cables are in conduit and walls are plastered, adding or moving them becomes expensive. The earlier in the project, the better — ideally at the architectural drawing stage.

What information do you need to start?

Rough floor plans, a description of how you intend to use the space (number of offices, AV equipment, smart home devices, outdoor coverage requirements), and a sense of your budget for the network infrastructure.

Can you coordinate with builders or electricians?

You remain the point of contact with your contractors, but detailed cable routing plans and specifications suitable for electricians to follow are provided as part of the deliverable.

What do I receive at the end?

A structured cabling plan covering cable routes and outlet locations, an active equipment recommendation (switches, access points, gateway), and a commissioning plan for when installation is complete.
