Plan Early, Stress Less: Security & Smart Solutions Done Right from the Start
You’ve got walls going up. Framing’s almost done. Everything’s on schedule — until you realize there’s no plan for where the cameras go. Or how power gets to the TVs. Or how access control fits into the layout.
That’s when things start getting expensive.
At Sundance, we’ve been on both sides of the timeline: the proactive installs that go smooth as butter, and the ones where we’re fishing wires through finished drywall. Spoiler alert: earlier is always better.
Why Early Planning Matters
Smarter Decisions
Plan around real needs — not leftover space.
Cleaner Wiring
Hide the hardware and avoid cutting into walls later.
Fewer Redos
Skip the stress of rework or schedule delays.
Case in Point: A Commercial Venue Done Right
When a local franchise owner asked us to outfit his new pickleball and event space, he didn’t wait until the floors were finished. He brought us in before drywall — when we could still walk the space, talk through ideas, and coordinate with other trades.
That meant:
- Camera wires got tucked away, not surface-mounted
- TVs were centered and powered where they actually made sense
- Access control worked with the natural flow of the space
- Nothing had to be cut, patched, or forced after the fact
Planning Ahead? Or Looking for New Solutions?
Whether you’re in the blueprints stage or beyond, Sundance can help you get your security and smart systems in place — cleanly and confidently.
Best Practice:
Get security, AV, and smart tech plans in before drywall goes up. It’s the simplest way to avoid future headaches.
FAQ: “When should I bring in a tech team?”
What’s the right time to call in Sundance?
As soon as you’re designing floor plans or talking to contractors. We can help flag wiring needs and advise on placement while things are still flexible.
I already have walls up — is it too late?
Not at all. We work around finished spaces all the time. It just means we may need to get a little creative (and break out the fish tape).
Can you coordinate with my general contractor?
Yes — and we prefer it that way. The earlier we can talk as a team, the smoother things go.
