Pre-Wire

A pre-wire installs all cables to their device locations during construction, leaving cable ends accessible for later termination by the cabling contractor or a hardware vendor. A complete installation includes pre-wire plus all terminations (jacks, patch panels, connectors), telecom room buildout, testing, and documentation. On many construction projects, Commercial Cabling Company performs the pre-wire and returns for termination, testing, and documentation near the end of the construction schedule.

Pre-wire should be scheduled to occur after the above-ceiling MEP rough-in is complete and before drywall installation begins — typically two to four weeks before the drywall phase. Commercial Cabling Company coordinates directly with the general contractor's project schedule to confirm the right timing. The company recommends being included in the project's subcontractor coordination meetings from the start.

Yes. Phased construction projects often have different floors or sections at different stages simultaneously. Commercial Cabling Company manages phased pre-wire schedules, completing rough-in cable pulls in each section as it becomes available while tracking the overall project completion timeline.
