The Right Time to Wire

Pre-Construction Wiring
for Custom Homes

Aurora is one of the most active custom home markets in York Region. Builders are finishing estates in the Hills of Bayview, along the Yonge Street corridor, and in new communities throughout the municipality. When walls are open and trades are still on site, that is exactly the right moment to run every low-voltage wire the home will ever need.

Pre-wiring during rough-in is faster, cleaner, and a fraction of the cost of retrofitting through finished walls later. We coordinate with your builder or general contractor to plan drop locations, route Cat6 to every endpoint, pre-wire for in-ceiling speakers, camera positions, access points, doorbells, motorized blinds, and smart home pathways — then centralize everything to a properly chosen rack or panel location.

When the home is ready for trim and termination, we return to complete the patch panel, label every run, and test every line.

  • Coordination with your builder or GC before rough-in begins
  • Floor plan review and drop locations mapped in advance
  • Cat6 / Cat6A to every data, TV, and access point location
  • In-ceiling speaker pre-wire for Sonos-ready multi-zone audio
  • Camera, doorbell, and motorized blind wiring to a central point
  • Control4 and smart home automation pathways planned from the start
  • Central rack location chosen for long-term serviceability
  • Return visit: patch panel, labelling, and full line testing
Full Scope

Every Low-Voltage Run
Under One Scope

Whether pre-construction or retrofit, we handle the complete low-voltage scope for homes and businesses in the area. Each service is planned as part of a centralized system — not added piecemeal after the fact.

Cat6 / Cat6A Data Cabling

Ethernet drops to every room, desk, TV location, and equipment position. Terminated to wall plates and patch panels with clean routing throughout.

Wired Access Point Drops

Cat6 to ceiling or wall AP positions — planned for whole-home coverage with no dead zones. Stronger and more consistent than any mesh system.

Central Rack & Patch Panel

Organized rack or structured panel with labelled terminations, clean routing, and serviceable layout — the foundation every other system depends on.

Multi-TV Video Distribution

Cat6 to TV zone locations with HDMI-extender-ready pathways. Sources centralized at the rack — easy to add screens or change hardware without re-running cable.

Multi-Zone Audio Pre-Wire

14/2 or 16/2 speaker cable to in-ceiling and in-wall positions. Sonos Amp ready. Planned for whole-home coverage including outdoor zones.

Cameras, Doorbell & Smart Home

Camera, doorbell, and motorized blind wiring — plus Control4 automation pathways. Pre-planned so smart home integrations don’t require rework later.

Why It Matters

Why Homeowners Here
Choose Hardwired Infrastructure

Custom homes in this area are larger, more complex, and more demanding on their infrastructure than most. A mesh Wi-Fi system works for a small apartment. It struggles with a 4,000+ square-foot build across multiple levels, a finished basement media room, a backyard with a pool and outdoor speakers, and a home office where someone is on video calls all day. Hardwired infrastructure solves all of it — cleanly and permanently.

4K Streaming That Doesn’t Buffer

Wired TV zones get dedicated bandwidth — no competing with every other device on the network during peak evening hours across a large home.

Consistent Home Office Performance

Video calls, large file transfers, and always-on VPN connections stay stable on a wired connection regardless of what else is happening on the network.

Better Wi-Fi From Wired Access Points

Hardwired access points in the right ceiling locations outperform any mesh system. Coverage is designed, not approximate — and it scales as the home grows.

Control4 & Smart Home Reliability

Automation systems depend on a stable network backbone. A properly structured wired network eliminates the connectivity issues that make automation feel unreliable.

Security Camera Stability

Cameras on a wired PoE switch are more reliable than wireless alternatives. Footage is consistent, the NVR stays connected, and the system doesn’t drop during a Wi-Fi hiccup.

A Home That’s Easy to Upgrade

A labelled, organized rack means adding an access point, a camera zone, or a new TV location later is fast and predictable — not a guessing game inside finished walls.

Backyard · Patio · Pool

Outdoor Audio & Wi-Fi
Built Into the Property

Lots in this area are generous. Backyards with pools, patios, cabanas, and detached garages are common across the municipality’s estate-home communities. Running outdoor speaker cable and exterior access point drops during landscaping or construction is the cleanest and most cost-effective time to do it — significantly less expensive than retrofitting through finished soffits afterward.

Outdoor Speaker Pre-Wire

Weatherproof speaker cable routed to patio, deck, pool area, and cabana locations. Returned inside to a central amplifier point. Pairs with Sonos Amp or any multi-zone audio system.

  • Outdoor-rated 14/2 or 16/2 speaker cable
  • In-ground conduit for long backyard runs
  • Planned during landscaping or exterior work
  • Connects to indoor audio distribution seamlessly

Exterior Wi-Fi Access Points

Cat6 to eaves, soffits, garage, and outbuilding locations. PoE-powered outdoor access points cover pool areas, large backyards, and detached structures where indoor Wi-Fi doesn’t reach.

  • Compatible with UniFi, Ubiquiti, Cisco Meraki
  • PoE — no separate power outlet at the mount
  • Covers pools, garages, outbuildings, large lots
  • Integrates with indoor rack and switching

The Hardware Behind
a Reliable Home Network

The cabling plan is only as good as the infrastructure it connects to. We install and configure managed switches, PoE hardware for cameras and access points, and rack builds that keep everything organized and accessible. The same infrastructure integrates with our Wi-Fi optimization, Control4 automation, and Sonos audio work — connecting cleanly from one organized point.

Patch Panel, Labelled Drops,
Everything Tested

In a recent project completed locally, we delivered structured wiring to centralize all endpoints and make future expansion straightforward. Cat6 cabling was terminated to a patch panel with clear labels, the rack was organized for easy servicing, and every run was tested and confirmed before the network went live.

Where We Work

Aurora & Surrounding
York Region Communities

We work regularly across Aurora — from custom estates in the Hills of Bayview and along the Yonge Street corridor to newer communities and townhome developments throughout the municipality. Properties here tend to be larger, with more complex wiring needs across multiple levels, finished basements, and generous outdoor spaces. We account for all of this when scoping the job.

We also cover the surrounding York Region area including Newmarket, Richmond Hill, King City, and Vaughan. For the full GTA footprint, see our Toronto structured wiring page.

Common Questions

Network Wiring FAQs
for Aurora Builds & Homes

Questions about pre-construction timing, custom home scope, outdoor audio, smart home readiness, and what to expect during installation.

During rough-in, before drywall closes. This is when cable can run cleanly through open wall cavities, ceilings, and floor systems without cutting or patching afterward. We coordinate with your builder or GC to plan drop locations in advance so nothing gets buried without a plan. Waiting until the home is finished can cost significantly more and always involves some disruption to completed finishes.
Yes — we do this regularly. We review your floor plan, confirm drop locations with you and your GC, and schedule our rough-in work around the construction timeline. We return for termination, labelling, and testing once the home is ready. If your builder has a preferred rough-in schedule, we work within it.
It depends on the floor plan and how the home will be used. A 3,500–5,000+ square foot custom home typically needs Cat6 drops to every room, multiple ceiling access point locations, TV zone wiring on each level, in-ceiling speaker pre-wire for at least three or four zones, camera positions at key exterior corners, and outdoor drops for patio speakers and exterior Wi-Fi. We scope each home individually based on your layout and priorities.
Yes. We plan structured wiring pathways and central termination points that support Control4 integration — including wiring for keypads, control endpoints, motorized blinds, and security devices. We’re a Control4 Authorized Dealer, so the wiring plan accounts for how the automation system will be set up, not just generic cable runs.
Yes — and it’s much easier to do during landscaping or exterior construction than after. We run outdoor-rated speaker cable to patio, deck, and pool speaker locations, and Cat6 to eave or soffit positions for exterior access points. For detached garages or longer backyard runs, we can run conduit. Everything returns to the central rack inside so the outdoor zones connect cleanly to the rest of the system.
For most residential applications, Cat6 is sufficient and performs well at standard home network speeds. Cat6A supports 10 Gbps over longer runs and is the better choice for locations that may serve as future access point backhaul or high-bandwidth equipment positions. In custom homes where the infrastructure budget allows, running Cat6A throughout is a reasonable investment — we advise on a per-project basis.
Yes — though finished-space retrofits are more involved than pre-construction work. We identify the best pathways first: utility rooms, accessible ceilings, existing chases, and exterior routes. Homes in this area often have finished basements and multiple levels, which affects how cable gets routed. We give you a realistic picture of what’s achievable before the work starts.
Yes. We’re a Sonos Gold Dealer and we pre-wire for Sonos-ready multi-zone audio — running 14/2 or 16/2 speaker cable to in-ceiling and in-wall speaker positions, and planning the central rack location where Sonos Amp units will live. Indoor and outdoor zones are included in the same pre-wire so the patio and pool area connect to the same system as the main floors.
Rough-in for a custom home typically takes two to four days depending on the size, number of drops, and complexity of the scope. Termination and testing — done after drywall and finishes — is typically one to two days. We give you a project-specific timeline when we quote so your builder can plan accordingly.
A floor plan or layout sketch, the number of levels, and a description of what you want wired — data drops, access points, TV zones, audio zones, cameras, outdoor speakers, motorized blinds, and smart home pathways. Photos of the utility space help us plan the rack location. If it’s pre-construction, your GC’s rough-in schedule helps us align timelines.
