New Construction Low Voltage San Diego | Rough-In & Cabling
Low voltage rough-in and new construction in San Diego
San Diego has cranes over East Village and Little Italy, new industrial going up in Otay Mesa, lab buildings in Sorrento Valley and Torrey Pines, apartments along Mission Valley and the trolley line, and the Midway District and NAVWAR redevelopments planned for the years ahead. Every one of those projects needs a low-voltage scope: conduit and boxes before drywall, cabling for data, cameras, access control, AV and Wi-Fi, and a clean close-out package.

General contractors need a low-voltage trade that shows up when the schedule says, coordinates with the electrician, and does not hold up inspection.
ITECH2 does the low-voltage scope on new builds and tenant improvements across San Diego: conduit and box rough-in, Cat6A and fiber backbone, camera and access control pre-wire, AV and Wi-Fi infrastructure, and the labeled, tested, documented close-out the owner's IT team will thank you for. We work from your drawings, attend the coordination meetings, and pull our own permits with the Development Services Department. Bring us in at design and the pathways end up on the plans instead of in a change order.
We handle both sides of construction: monitored camera towers that stop theft during the build, and the low voltage rough-in and finish work that has to land at the right moment in the schedule. General contractors get one licensed sub for cabling, cameras, access and monitoring.
The problems we get called for
- Copper, tool and equipment theft from open sites
- Sites with no power or internet yet
- Cabling that has to go in before walls close
- Insurance and general-contractor security requirements
What we install
- Solar and battery-powered camera towers with cellular backhaul for open sites
- 24/7 AI monitoring with live voice-down from the first night
- Structured cabling, fiber and low voltage rough-in on the construction schedule
- Access control and cameras commissioned before turnover
- Temporary Wi-Fi for the site office and trailers
Construction & New Builds across San Diego
Downtown high-rise work means coordinating with the tower crane and hoist schedule, per-floor closets and riser sleeves that have to be in before the slab pours. Otay Mesa industrial rough-in is fast but requires early planning for yard conduit and pole bases before paving. Sorrento Valley labs have heavy plenum requirements and instrument-specific drops. Tenant improvements in UTC, Carmel Valley and Kearny Mesa are the bulk of the work: a suite, a permit from the Development Services Department, a six-week schedule and a landlord who wants it done quietly.
Cameras that stop theft, not just record it
AI Camera Monitoring watches your San Diego property around the clock, warns intruders off with live audio the moment they step on site, and escalates real threats with video-verified dispatch. It works with cameras we install and, in most cases, with the cameras you already have.
$1 per camera per day on a schedule · $1.50 for 24/7 · first month free
Book your free assessment by September 30 and your first month of monitoring is free.

Construction & New Builds in San Diego — questions we get
When should the low voltage sub be brought in on a San Diego construction project?
At design, before the electrical drawings are final. Conduit, sleeves, closet locations and pole bases are cheap to add on paper and expensive to add after the slab or drywall. For downtown towers and Otay Mesa industrial, that timing decides whether the low-voltage scope is clean or a mess.
Do you do low voltage pre-wire for new apartments in San Diego?
Yes. We pre-wire units and common areas for data, intercom, access control and cameras, install building-wide Wi-Fi infrastructure, and coordinate with the electrician and GC on the inspection schedule. East Village, North Park and Mission Valley projects are a regular part of our work.
Can you handle the Development Services permit for low voltage on a tenant improvement?
Yes. Most tenant improvements in San Diego include low voltage under the electrical permit or a separate simple electrical permit. We pull it, schedule the inspection, and provide the documentation the GC needs for close-out.
How do you secure a construction site with no power or internet?
With solar and battery-powered camera towers on cellular backhaul, monitored 24/7 by AI with live voice-down. They go up in an afternoon and move with the phases of the job.
When should low voltage rough-in happen on a new build?
Right after framing and electrical rough-in, before insulation and drywall. We coordinate with the GC schedule so pathways, boxes and cable are in place before walls close.
Can you monitor a jobsite for the length of the project?
Yes. Monitoring is month to month from $1 per camera per day, so it can run for the duration of the build and stop at turnover.
