Project background
Our customer, an Auckland homeowner, sent an enquiry through the website asking for data cabling to the rooms the family actually uses: three bedrooms and two living areas. The aim was simple, a reliable wired connection in each of those rooms so that work, study and streaming did not all depend on one Wi-Fi signal from one corner of the house.
We surveyed the house first. On a job like this the survey decides the route and the price: where the central point goes, how each run gets there, and what is involved in concealing the cable in an existing home.
Challenges
Five rooms, one central point
Every run has to get back to the same place. The survey works out that route before anything is quoted.
An existing home
Retrofit cabling means working with the walls, ceilings and floors that are there, and leaving them looking as they did.
Right rooms, not every room
The customer wanted the rooms the family uses, not a point on every wall. Scoping it that way keeps the job and the price proportionate.
Finished properly
Five outlets are only useful if every one is terminated correctly and tested, so the customer is not chasing a dead port later.
A wired point in every room you actually use is the difference between Wi-Fi that is fine and a home where nothing buffers.
How Cabling For U delivered
Survey & Quote
- Walked the house with the customer, agreed the outlet position in each of the five rooms and the location of the central point.
- Quoted in writing from the survey.
Cabling & Termination
- Ran Cat6 from the central point to each of the three bedrooms and two living areas.
- Terminated every outlet and the central point.
Testing & Handover
- Tested and labelled every outlet.
- Walked the customer through what was installed and where.
Project results
Cabling For U delivered a wired Cat6 point in each of the five rooms the family uses, terminated, tested and labelled, from a survey-based written quote.
The house now has a reliable connection where it is needed rather than one Wi-Fi signal doing all the work. This is the standard shape of a residential cabling job for us, and the website enquiry form is where most of them start.
Most homes do not need a point in every room. They need one in each room where someone works, games or streams. Three bedrooms and two living areas covers that for a typical family house.
