When should low-voltage infrastructure be planned?

Assess them together at the start.

Networks, security and intercoms serve different purposes but share cable routes, power supplies and device locations within the same building.

Plan the hidden spaces too.

Cabinet location, maintenance access, ventilation, labelling and future expansion should be considered early. Understand the physical and technical limits for equipment that may be added later.

Handover is more than a device list.

Connection information, test records and authorised-user access should be handed over in an organised way. Finding the right information during maintenance is as important as the installation.
