The low-voltage trade that works to your schedule

One sub instead of three. We attend the framing walk, mark our drops on your drawings, slot into the rotation after electrical and HVAC, and send certificates to your site office before the first visit. Scope and price are locked before we arrive.

The Arrangement

What working with us actually changes for you.

You stop managing a chain of low-voltage subs. Cabling, network, security, and AV come under one contract, with one crew, one schedule commitment, and one number to call when something on site moves.

The technical scope — drop counts, cable spec, panel sizing, per-drop pricing — lives on our new construction pre-wiring page. This page is about how we work alongside you.

  • One trade, one contract — cabling, network, security cameras, and AV under a single scope with no sub-tier for you to schedule or chase
  • Scope locked before we mobilise — we mark our drops on your electrical drawings at the framing walk and attach a fixed price to them
  • We fit your rotation — rough-in after electrical and HVAC, before insulation; trim-out after paint with the finish trades
  • Paperwork ahead of the first visit — certificates of insurance and WSIB clearance letters go to your office before we arrive, not after somebody asks
  • Documented handover — labelled cable, an as-built drop schedule, and pre-drywall photos, so a defect two years out is diagnosable
  • The homeowner calls ustechnology support plans keep post-occupancy service off your desk
Who We Work With

Which build teams do we coordinate with?

General contractors, custom home builders, electricians, architects, and interior designers across Toronto and the GTA — and increasingly security dealers who want the cabling handled by someone else. What each of them needs from us is different, so here is what the hand-off actually looks like.

General contractors and site supers

You get one low-voltage trade instead of three, and a scope that is locked before we set foot on site. We attend the framing walk, mark our drops directly on your electrical drawings, and slot into the rotation after electrical and HVAC rough-in and before insulation.

We book our own inspection-ready window, show up on the date agreed, and tell you immediately if something on site has moved the scope. Certificates of insurance and WSIB clearance letters go to your office before the first visit, not after somebody asks.

Architects and custom home builders

On an architect-led build the low-voltage layer usually arrives as a line on a drawing with no counts behind it. We turn that into a real drop schedule — every location, cable type, and termination — and mark it up so it reads alongside the electrical set rather than competing with it.

Where a specification calls for a system by name, we work to it. Where it does not, we will tell you what the house actually needs and what it does not, which is usually the more useful conversation. Our structured cabling and network installation scope covers the backbone; Control4 installation covers the control layer on top of it.

Interior designers

Keypad, touchscreen, thermostat, and speaker positions get decided before they are wired, with you, against the elevation — not discovered by the homeowner after paint. We will hold a location, move it, or gang it with the light switches to keep a wall clean.

Finish and colour selections for keypads and grilles are confirmed at the same time, so the trim-out visit installs the right part in the right place. Where a speaker or panel genuinely cannot be concealed, we say so at rough-in while there is still room to change the plan.

Electricians and security dealers

We stay out of your way and off your circuits. Low-voltage runs are kept to correct separation from line voltage, crossings are made at right angles, and we work around the panel schedule rather than through it.

For security dealers, we are happy to be the cabling trade only — pull, label, and terminate to your spec, and leave the panel and monitoring relationship entirely with you. For builders who want it under one contract, security camera installation and monitoring hardware can come from us instead.

Send the floor plan and your framing date — we will come back with a marked-up drop schedule and a fixed price.

Build Schedule

When does low-voltage go into the build schedule?

Three visits, and only one of them sits on your critical path. The framing walk happens while the shell is open, the rough-in slots between electrical and insulation, and the trim-out lands after paint with the rest of the finish trades.

01

Framing walk & scope lock

We walk the open shell with you, confirm every drop against the floor plan, and lock the rack or panel position. Anything that conflicts with duct, plumbing, or a structural member gets resolved on the spot. You leave with a marked drawing and a fixed price.

02

Rough-in between trades

We pull and label every run in the window you give us — after electrical and HVAC, before insulation and vapour barrier. Service loops are left at each opening, plates are marked, and we photograph the walls before they close so the as-built record exists.

03

Trim-out, commissioning & handover

After paint we return to terminate, mount, and configure — jacks, keypads, speakers, cameras, access points, rack build. Everything is tested against the drop schedule, then handed over with documentation and a walkthrough for whoever takes the house.

If the schedule slips, tell us and we move — a rough-in booked against a framing date that has shifted two weeks helps nobody. What we ask for is the window, not the exact day.

Commercial Terms

How pricing, paperwork and risk are handled.

Pricing is per drop, quoted as a fixed total off the marked-up floor plan before we mobilise. Our current base rate and what moves it are set out on the pre-wiring page, so you can budget the line before the framing walk rather than after it.

What lands on your desk, and when

Certificates of insurance and WSIB clearance letters are issued before the first site visit, in whatever form your office, the property manager, or a condo board needs them. We carry $2,000,000 in liability coverage and are WSIB compliant on every site.

Scope changes are priced and approved before they are executed — if site conditions move a run, you get the revised line first. At completion you receive an as-built drop schedule keyed to the floor plan, pre-drywall photographs, and credentials for anything we configured.

Where a build needs it, the same crew covers commercial network installation to the same documentation standard.

Why SetupTeam

Why builders keep us on the trade rotation.

Because the low-voltage trade is usually the one that creates callbacks, and this is the version that does not. One contract, one crew, a fixed price off the drawings, and a paper trail that survives the handover — on sites from downtown Toronto out to Newmarket and Oakville.

  • One trade for cabling, network, security, and AV — no sub-tier to schedule or chase
  • Scope locked at the framing walk and marked on your drawings, with a fixed price attached
  • We slot into the existing rotation — after electrical and HVAC, before insulation
  • WSIB compliant and $2M liability insured; certificates and clearance letters issued for permits, condo boards, and site offices
  • Sonos Gold Dealer and Control4 Authorized Dealer — equipment, programming, and warranty from one source
  • Labelled cable, an as-built drop schedule, and pre-drywall photos handed over at completion
  • Ongoing technology support plans available so the homeowner calls us, not you

FAQ

Trade partner questions — answered.

At framing, once electrical and HVAC rough-in are scheduled. Walls are still open, so cable can be pulled at a fraction of retrofit cost. Earlier is fine too — drawing review during design catches conflicts before anything is framed.
We rough in after the electrician and HVAC, and before insulation and vapour barrier. Trim-out happens after paint with the finish trades. You give us the window; we book our own crew and confirm the date back to the site super.
Yes. SetupTeam is WSIB compliant and carries $2,000,000 in liability coverage. Certificates of insurance and WSIB clearance letters are issued on request for permit applications, condo boards, and site offices, and sent before the first site visit.
Per drop, quoted as a fixed total off the marked-up floor plan before we mobilise, itemised by system so you can cut a line before approving it. The current base rate and what moves it are set out on our pre-wiring page.
Yes. After the framing walk we send a written, line-itemised proposal keyed to the floor plan, before anything is scheduled. If site conditions later change the scope, we flag it and reprice that line rather than adding it silently.
Yes. Keypad, touchscreen, and speaker positions are confirmed with the designer against the elevations before those walls are wired, along with finish and colour selections, so trim-out installs the agreed part in the agreed place.
We are low-voltage only and stay off the panel schedule entirely. Runs are kept to correct separation from line voltage, crossings are made at right angles, and we work around your electrician's sequence rather than through it.
Tell us and we move with it. We book against the window you give us rather than a fixed day, and we would rather re-sequence than send a crew to a site that is not ready. Give us as much notice as the schedule allows.
Yes — suite-level pre-wire, riser and closet work, and commercial fit-outs in the same building. Condo boards and property managers generally want certificates and a work schedule up front, which we issue as a matter of course rather than on request.
Yes. For security dealers and integrators we will pull, label, and terminate to your spec and leave the panel, programming, and monitoring relationship entirely with you. Builders who want it under one contract can take the full stack instead.
Get Started

Bring us in at the framing walk.
