Low voltage wiring for Wisconsin builders and GCs.
Ethernet, camera pre-wire and smart home wiring, installed at rough-in for builders and general contractors across the Milwaukee and Madison metros. We show up when the schedule says, test every run, and hand over a labeled diagram your buyer can actually use.
Sound familiar?
Wiring at rough-in costs a fraction of a retrofit, and buyers now expect it. These are the problems builders call us about.
- 01
The low voltage sub doesn't show, and drywall waits.
One trade slipping holds up every trade behind it, and the closing date doesn't move.
- 02
The buyer calls after closing because WiFi won't reach.
Access points went where it was convenient, not where the house needed coverage.
- 03
Nobody knows which wall plate goes to which port.
No labels, no diagram, so every future change starts with tracing cables.
- 04
The cameras ended up in the wrong spots.
Pre-wire locations were guessed instead of planned with the homeowner or the plans.
A sub you can count on.
Construction ready
We understand rough-in timing, work around electrical and HVAC, and show up when scheduled. No calling around chasing us down.
Turnkey package
Planning, materials, installation, testing, documentation. One sub, one scope, one handoff instead of three vendors you coordinate.
Buyer-ready
Labeled diagrams, test results, warranty paperwork. Everything the homeowner needs, ready to hand over at closing.
Volume pricing
Regular builder clients get better per-drop pricing and priority scheduling. Build the relationship, save real money per project.
Four phases, one schedule.
We integrate into your existing construction workflow. You shouldn't have to manage us. We coordinate with your schedule and the other trades directly.
Plan review
Send us the blueprints or invite us to a site walk. We'll recommend drop locations, quote the scope, and provide an upgrade package you can offer buyers.
Rough-in
We install all cable runs after framing, before insulation and drywall. Coordinated with your electrical sub and other trades so no one's in each other's way.
Trim-out
After drywall and paint: we install faceplates, terminate cables at the panel, mount equipment, and test every run. Equipment install can happen here or at closing.
Handoff
Labeled panel diagram, full test results, warranty paperwork, and a quick walkthrough for the homeowner. Everything documented for future reference.
Four project tiers,
real pricing.
Every project starts with a site visit or plan review. These ranges reflect typical new-construction scopes. Your quote depends on drop count, home size, and material choices.
Whole-Home Ethernet
Cat6 or Cat6A runs to bedrooms, living areas, office, and media locations. Includes the structured wiring panel, patch panel termination, testing, and labeling. Pricing is per-drop with volume discounts on larger scopes.

You'll work with Riley, not a ticket queue.
One contact from plan review to handoff. Riley walks your plans, the cable gets pulled, terminated and tested to that plan, and you get a labeled diagram at the end.
