New Construction installation in Phoenix, AZ
Prewire is the cheapest technology decision in a build. While walls are open, cable costs a fraction of what a retrofit does, so the goal is to place more pathways than you think you need — Ethernet drops, ceiling locations for access points, camera runs and a central panel.

Local considerations

How much does low-voltage prewire cost for a new home?
Prewire is priced per location — Ethernet jacks, access point drops, camera drops, TV and speaker locations — and it costs a fraction of retrofit work because the walls are open. The biggest cost risk is not the prewire itself but a location you skip and have to add after drywall.
