Renovation Pitfalls to Avoid

Renovations move fast. These are the most common infrastructure issues we see when the data side is treated as an afterthought.

Common pitfalls

  • No conduit routes between floors or to the roof
  • TV points with no data or only a single cable
  • Access points placed in corners or inside cupboards
  • Cabinets with no ventilation or power
  • Cables run alongside mains without separation
  • Unlabelled cables and no documentation before walls close

Quick checks before walls close

  • Are all access point locations wired and reachable...
  • Do TV areas have enough data points and conduit...
  • Is the cabinet location accessible with power and airflow...
  • Has every run been tested and labelled...
  • Renovation pre-wire checklist
  • Network cabinets and racks
  • Infrastructure and cabling
