New-Home Pre-Wiring & Structured Cabling in Southeast Georgia
The walls are open once. KELV runs every cable your home will ever need — network, TV, audio, cameras — before the drywall goes up. For homeowners building and the builders they hire.
Wire It Once, While the Walls Are Open
Building a home in Southeast Georgia? There's a short window — after framing, before drywall — when running cable is fast, clean and cheap. KELV's low-voltage pre-wiring crews use that window to put network, TV, audio and camera wiring exactly where your family will need it for the next few decades.
We work two ways: directly with homeowners who want their new build done right, and as the low-voltage sub for builders and contractors across Jesup, Hinesville, Brunswick and Waycross who want a structured cabling partner that shows up on schedule and doesn't slow down the other trades.
What Our Low-Voltage Pre-Wiring Covers
- Cat6 network drops — wired internet in the office, bedrooms, TV walls and ceiling points for WiFi access points.
- TV & coax points — power and signal behind every future TV location, at mounting height, so no wires ever show.
- Speaker wire — living room surround sound, porch and patio audio, run before the ceiling closes.
- Security camera conduit — cable paths to eaves and corners, so cameras install cleanly now or years from now.
- Doorbell wiring — proper wiring at the front door for a video doorbell that never begs for a battery charge.
- Central media panel — every run lands in one tidy, labeled enclosure where your modem, router and camera recorder live.
Why Pre-Wire Before Drywall Goes Up
Simple math: while the studs are exposed, a technician can pull a cable across the house in minutes. After drywall, paint and trim, that same cable means fishing walls, cutting and patching drywall, and repainting — several trades to redo what one visit could have covered. Retrofitting is routinely several times the cost of roughing in the same wire during construction.
There's a quality gap too. Pre-wired runs travel clean, stapled paths away from electrical interference. Retrofit runs go wherever the wall cavities allow. If you're weighing what to include, our new-construction pre-wire checklist lists every cable worth considering, room by room.

If you build homes in Southeast Georgia, you know the pain of a sub who misses the rough-in window. KELV works from your plans, coordinates with your electrician and HVAC crews, keeps runs code-compliant and out of everyone's way, and photographs wall cavities before they close. Every run is labeled at both ends, so trim-out never turns into a guessing game. One call covers the whole low-voltage scope — and gives your buyers a selling point: a home that's genuinely move-in ready for internet, TV and cameras.
Our Pre-Wiring Process
1. Plan Review
We walk the floor plan with you — where TVs, desks, speakers and cameras will live — and quote it.
2. Rough-In
Cables pulled and boxes set after framing, coordinated with your builder's schedule.
3. Labeling & Photos
Every run labeled at both ends and documented before insulation and drywall close the walls.
4. Trim-Out
After paint, we install wall plates, terminate and test every jack, and dress the media panel.
Plan the Whole System, Not Just the Wire
Pre-wiring pays off most when it's designed around how you'll live. Ceiling drops feed the access points behind a whole-home WiFi and network installation. Conduit to the eaves makes a future security camera system a clean afternoon job instead of a ladder-and-drill ordeal. And speaker wire in the family room is the skeleton of a proper home theater and surround sound setup. Tell us what the finished home should do — we'll make sure the wiring is ready for it.
Spec Homes, Custom Builds & Small Commercial
Not every pre-wire is the same job. On spec homes, builders want a smart standard package — network drops at the TV walls and office, coax where buyers expect it, doorbell wiring and a media panel — priced per lot and repeatable across the subdivision, so every house shows well and closes without surprises.
Custom homes flip that around. The future owner is in the conversation, so we design around how the family will actually live: ceiling speakers in the great room, a drop for the workbench TV in the garage, conduit toward the pool equipment, an access point over the back porch. We'd rather spend an extra hour on the plan review than leave a wall short one cable forever.
- Spec & production homes — a consistent, buyer-ready package with per-lot pricing builders can plan around.
- Custom homes — a room-by-room design session with the owner before a single cable is pulled.
- Small commercial — offices, clinics and shops that need network, TV and camera pathways roughed in before build-out.
Cable & Conduit: What We Help You Choose Between
Cat6 is the workhorse — it carries gigabit internet with room to spare and covers almost every drop in a typical home. Cat6a costs a bit more per run and is stiffer to work with, but it supports higher speeds over long runs, so we often suggest it for the office, the WiFi access points and anywhere you expect hardware to live for a decade. Coax (RG6) still earns its place for satellite TV and over-the-air antennas.
The quiet hero is conduit. An empty tube from the media panel to the attic, the eaves or a main TV wall costs little while the walls are open — and it means whatever cable the future brings can be pulled through without cutting drywall. On the rural properties we wire around Jesup, Ludowici and Glennville, we take that thinking outside too: conduit to the detached garage, the shop or the pole barn, and a clean path from the roof into the panel for the satellite or fixed-wireless internet gear that many county-road addresses depend on.
What to Expect After Rough-In and Trim-Out
When rough-in wraps, we hand your builder photos of every wall cavity and a labeled map of every run — before insulation hides our work. At trim-out we come back, terminate and test every jack with real test gear, install the wall plates, and leave the media panel dressed and documented instead of a bird's nest of loose cable.
After that, keep (236) 349-7751 saved. When you move in and the internet company shows up, when you're ready to add cameras, or if a jack ever tests dead, call the crew that pulled the cable — we have the photos and the labels, and we stand behind every run we put in your walls.
