When planning a new commercial building, most attention goes to floor plans, finishes, and timelines. But one of the most critical decisions happens behind the walls: how the building’s network infrastructure is designed and installed. For businesses across Georgia—from Atlanta to Cobb County and Rome—new construction cabling is the opportunity to get everything right from the start.
At Progressive Cabling, we work with builders, developers, and business owners to deliver new construction network cabling that supports modern operations, smart building technology, and long-term growth.
Why New Construction Cabling Matters
Once walls are closed and ceilings are finished, making changes to cabling becomes expensive and disruptive. New construction offers a unique advantage: the ability to design a clean, efficient, and scalable network before anyone moves in.
A properly planned cabling system ensures:
- Faster and more reliable connectivity
- Better Wi-Fi coverage throughout the building
- Seamless support for security and access control
- Lower long-term maintenance costs
- Easier future upgrades
Skipping proper planning often leads to patchwork solutions later—something we see far too often in older buildings.
Planning the Network Before the Build Is Complete
New construction cabling isn’t just about pulling wire. It’s about strategic design that aligns with how the building will actually be used.
Progressive Cabling begins every new construction project by evaluating:
- Building layout and square footage
- Office density and workspace design
- Expected number of users and devices
- Wi-Fi coverage requirements
- Security camera and access control locations
- Future technology and expansion plans
This planning phase ensures every cable, data drop, and pathway serves a purpose.
Structured Cabling as the Foundation
The backbone of any new construction project is structured cabling. This approach organizes all data, voice, and security cabling into a unified system using standardized layouts, patch panels, and racks.
Benefits of structured cabling in new construction include:
- Clean, organized infrastructure from day one
- Faster troubleshooting and maintenance
- Flexibility to add devices or workstations
- Improved airflow and equipment longevity
- Professional documentation for future IT teams
Structured cabling sets the stage for everything from basic office networks to advanced smart building systems.
Fiber Optic Infrastructure for Long-Term Performance
Many new buildings in Georgia are now incorporating fiber optic cabling as part of their initial construction. Fiber provides the speed, bandwidth, and distance capabilities needed for modern business operations.
Fiber is ideal for:
- Connecting floors in multi-story buildings
- Linking multiple buildings on a single property
- Supporting high-density Wi-Fi and cloud applications
- Powering data-heavy systems like video and automation
Installing fiber during construction is far more cost-effective than retrofitting later.
Supporting Security and Access Control from the Start
New construction is the perfect time to integrate security cameras and access control systems into the network design.
By planning these systems early, Progressive Cabling ensures:
- Proper camera coverage with clean cable runs
- Strategic placement of door access control, card readers, and keypads
- PoE-ready cabling for efficient power delivery
- Centralized network control for security systems
This approach avoids surface-mounted cables and last-minute workarounds after the building opens.
Wi-Fi and PoE-Ready Infrastructure
Modern buildings rely heavily on wireless connectivity. New construction cabling allows access points to be placed in ideal locations for strong, consistent coverage.
With PoE-ready Cat6 or Cat6a cabling, a single cable can deliver both power and data to:
- Wireless access points
- Security cameras
- Access control devices
- Smart building sensors
This simplifies installation and prepares the building for future technology.
