Low-Voltage New Construction Built Around the Schedule.
Lizard Brain Wiring provides commercial low-voltage infrastructure for new construction, tenant fit-outs, and renovations—from pathway coordination and rough-in through cabling, trim, testing, and closeout.

Low Voltage Is Easier When It Gets Coordinated Before the Ceiling Closes.
The best time to solve pathway, access, and location problems is while the project is still open—not during final trim.
We approach new construction as a sequence, not just a cable pull. The low-voltage scope has to line up with framing, electrical, ceilings, millwork, telecom rooms, access, other trades, and the date the project actually needs to turn over.
For construction work, our role is to keep the physical low-voltage layer coordinated with the building: routes, telecom spaces, cable types, device locations, and the sequence required to get from rough-in to turnover without unnecessary rework.
Construction Capabilities
From Rough-In to Turnover
The exact scope varies by plan set and project. These are the physical low-voltage pieces we can coordinate through a commercial build or fit-out.
Structured Cabling
Commercial copper cabling to work areas, devices, network equipment, and other planned endpoints.
CAT5e • CAT6 • CAT6AFiber Backbone
Fiber links between telecom spaces and facility areas where the project calls for backbone connectivity.
Fiber • MDF/IDF • backboneRacks + Telecom Spaces
Rack-side termination, patch panels, cable management, and organized physical infrastructure in telecom rooms.
Racks • patch panels • IDF/MDFAP + Camera Infrastructure
Cabling to planned access-point and camera locations, plus physical mounting of both device types when included in the construction scope.
AP cabling • camera cabling • device mountingTrim + Closeout
Endpoint finish, labeling, testing, troubleshooting, punch-list corrections, and agreed project closeout details.

The Low-Voltage Scope Should Help the Project Move.
GCs need subcontractors who understand that schedule, access, field conditions, and coordination matter as much as the final cable. We keep the physical low-voltage scope tied to the construction sequence so issues can be handled before they become end-of-job surprises.

Plan + Scope ReviewCounts, locations, cable types, pathways, telecom spaces, exclusions, and schedule reviewed before field work starts.
02
Trade CoordinationLow-voltage pathways and routes coordinated around electrical, framing, HVAC, ceilings, millwork, and access.
03
Field CommunicationChanges and access issues surfaced while there is still time to solve them instead of hiding them until trim.
04
Turnover FocusTesting, corrections, identification, and agreed closeout details finished before the scope becomes someone else's problem.
Fit-Outs + Renovations
Not Every Construction Project Starts From the Ground Up.
Tenant improvements and renovations still depend on construction sequencing—even when part of the building is already occupied.
For renovations and tenant improvements, the challenge is different: new work has to coexist with existing telecom spaces, occupied areas, reused pathways, and phased access. That deserves its own planning rather than treating the project like a ground-up build.
01
Reuse What Makes SenseReview existing pathways and telecom infrastructure before assuming everything has to be replaced.
02
Add New InfrastructureExtend cabling, fiber, pathways, and telecom-space capacity into newly built or renovated areas.
03
Coordinate Around OccupancyPlan access and sequencing around operating spaces when the building cannot simply shut down for construction.
04
Turn Over a Clean Physical LayerLeave the new infrastructure understandable and ready for the owner, IT team, or technology provider.

Common Questions
Low-Voltage Construction FAQ
Do you work directly with general contractors on new construction?
Yes. We pursue commercial new-construction, renovation, and fit-out work where the low-voltage scope can be coordinated with the GC, project schedule, other trades, and site conditions.
What parts of a new-construction low-voltage scope can you handle?
Depending on the project, our physical scope can include pathways and rough-in coordination, structured copper cabling, fiber, racks and patch panels, access-point and camera cabling, physical device mounting, trim, testing, troubleshooting, labeling, and agreed closeout items.
Can you work from drawings and project specifications?
Yes. Plans, quantities, device locations, cable types, pathways, telecom spaces, and schedule information are useful for reviewing and quoting the physical low-voltage scope.
Can you handle tenant fit-outs and renovations too?
Yes. We also support commercial fit-outs and renovations where new infrastructure has to integrate with existing telecom spaces, pathways, and occupied portions of the building.
Do you configure network equipment or camera software?
Our core construction scope is the physical low-voltage layer: pathways, cabling, termination, racks, patching, testing, and device mounting. Configuration can remain with the customer's IT, network, or security provider unless separately defined.
