Tenant Improvement and New Construction Cabling in Chicago
Structured cabling scoped and installed inside your construction schedule. We work alongside the general contractor and the other trades so the network is in the walls before they close, and tested before you move in.

Cabling has a window, and it closes
On a fit-out or ground-up build, the cabling has exactly one easy moment: after the framing goes up and before the drywall goes on. Miss it and every additional drop becomes a fishing job through a finished ceiling, at several times the cost and with a finish nobody is happy about.
That means the scope has to be right early. Drop counts set against the real furniture plan rather than a guess, pathways coordinated with mechanical and electrical, and the comms room located where it works rather than where there was space left.
We work to the construction schedule, attend the coordination meetings that matter, and sequence rough-in, trim-out and testing around the other trades.

What the scope covers
Plan take-off
Drop counts and cable types worked out from the architectural and furniture drawings.
Rough-in
Boxes, rings, conduit stubs and cable pulled to position before the walls are closed.
Pathway coordination
Tray, conduit and riser routes agreed with the electrical and mechanical trades.
Comms room build
Racks, panels, containment and backbone brought into a room sized for the floorplate.
Trim-out
Outlets, faceplates and patch panels terminated once the finishes are in.
Test and document
Every run tested, labeled and recorded, with as-builts issued at handover.
Where we fit in the schedule
01
Pre-construction
We price from the drawings and flag anything in the design that will cause problems later.
02
Coordination
Pathways and the comms room are agreed with the GC and the other trades before anyone builds.
03
Rough-in
Cable is pulled and positioned while the walls are still open.
04
Trim-out
Outlets and panels are terminated as the space is finished.
05
Test and handover
Certification, labeling and as-builts are issued before occupancy.
Project types
Office tenant fit-outs
New suites and floors where the cabling has to land inside a fixed construction date.
Ground-up construction
New commercial buildings cabled from slab through to handover.
Multi-site retail rollouts
Store builds delivered to a repeatable standard across locations.
Warehouse and industrial builds
Large-footprint sites with scanning, WiFi and long cable runs.
Healthcare build-outs
Clinic and medical office fit-outs where documentation is part of the deliverable.
Floor expansions
Taking on an adjacent floor or suite and extending the existing infrastructure cleanly.
Frequently asked questions
Can you price from drawings before the space exists?
Yes. Plan take-off is the normal starting point on a fit-out or new build. We price from the architectural and furniture drawings and flag assumptions clearly.
Do you attend coordination meetings?
Yes, where the schedule needs it. Pathway and comms room decisions are easier to settle in the room than by email.
What happens if the design changes mid-build?
Changes are normal. We re-scope the affected areas and tell you the cost and schedule impact rather than absorbing it quietly and arguing later.
Do you provide certification?
Yes. Runs are tested and the results are issued with the as-built documentation at handover.
Do you work for general contractors directly?
Yes, and for tenants and building owners. Whoever holds the contract, the coordination works the same way.
Which areas do you cover?
Chicago and the surrounding suburbs, including Naperville, Schaumburg, Aurora, Elgin, Evanston, Skokie, Niles, Des Plaines and Oak Brook.
Have a fit-out or build coming up?
Send us the drawings and the schedule dates. We will come back with a take-off and a scope that fits the construction schedule.
