Security and Building Access Systems

In today’s construction landscape, security and building access systems are no longer afterthoughts—they’re mission-critical components that need to be considered from day one. Whether it’s a multi-unit residential complex, a commercial build-out, or an industrial facility, clients expect modern access control, intercoms, surveillance, and integrated alarm systems as part of the finished product.

As licensed electricians experienced in both high and low-voltage systems, we work closely with general contractors to ensure security and access systems are installed with precision, integrated into the build plan, and ready for final walkthroughs

These systems are designed to monitor, control, and restrict access to buildings or specific areas within them. From rough-in to device mounting, these systems rely on precise electrical planning, low-voltage expertise, and a deep understanding of building layout and code requirements. Common components include:

• Access Control Systems: Card readers, keypads, biometric scanners, and cloud-based control panels.

• Video Surveillance (CCTV): IP-based cameras with DVR/NVR storage, motion sensors, and remote access features.

• Intercom and Entry Systems: Audio/video door stations and tenant communication systems.

• Alarm and Intrusion Detection: Motion detectors, magnetic door contacts, and audible alarms.

• Integrated Smart Building Security: Systems that tie into building automation or mobile platforms for remote management.

Security systems touch multiple trades—but poor coordination often leads to conflicts, inspection failures, or last-minute redesigns. That’s where we come in. Our role includes:

• Pre-construction coordination with architects and system designers.

• Low-voltage conduit routing during rough-in phases—eliminating surface-mounted wiring or afterthought retrofits.

• Power provisioning for access panels, network switches, cameras, and door hardware.

• Integration with other systems, including fire alarms, elevator controls, and energy management.

• Testing and commissioning for full functionality before turnover.
