New Build AV Installation in Brighton & Sussex

If you're considering integrated audio or a wider AV system, the new-build stage is an excellent time to plan speaker positions and the required cabling.

 

Depending on the project, we can help plan and install:

 

• Ceiling speakers

• Multi-room audio

• Centralised audio equipment

• Speaker cabling

• HDMI matrix systems

• Multi-screen TV distribution

• Projectors and screens

• Other integrated AV equipment

 

Planning these systems before walls and ceilings are finished can help achieve a cleaner result with less visible cabling.

 

Our AV installation services cover both domestic and commercial audio visual systems throughout Brighton and Sussex.

​

CCTV & Security for New Builds

 

Security is another area worth considering before construction is complete.

 

Planning camera positions and cabling early can help achieve a neater CCTV installation while ensuring the important areas around the property are properly considered.

 

Depending on your requirements, Home Connected can advise on CCTV for:

 

• Entrances

• Driveways

• Gardens

• Side access

• Garages

• Outbuildings

• Other vulnerable areas

 

For homeowners looking for a wider security setup, we can also discuss alarm requirements alongside CCTV.

 

See our CCTV system installation services for more information.

Completing Unfinished New Build Cabling

 

Moved Into a New Property With Missing Connections?

 

Not every new property is handed over with its network and AV infrastructure completely finished.

 

You may find Ethernet cables, TV cabling or other connections have already been installed but haven't been terminated, labelled, tested or connected to the appropriate equipment.

 

Home Connected can inspect what's already there and determine what is required to get the system working properly.

 

We can help with:

 

• Identifying existing cables

• Terminating Ethernet cabling

• Installing network sockets

• Configuring network switches

• Setting up network cabinets

• Connecting WiFi equipment

• Testing network points

• Completing TV and AV connections

• Diagnosing non-working connections

• Tidying existing installations

​

Where suitable infrastructure has already been installed, we'll make use of what's there rather than recommending unnecessary replacement work.

​

​

 

Network Cabinet Installation & Setup

 

For properties with multiple network connections, a central network cabinet can provide a much neater and more manageable installation.

 

The cabinet can bring together network cabling and relevant equipment in one central location, helping keep the installation organised and making future maintenance or upgrades easier.

 

Home Connected can terminate, organise, connect and test existing cabling as well as install suitable network equipment where required.

 

Once everything has been configured, we'll test the relevant connections to make sure the system is operating correctly.

​

​

​

 

Testing & Diagnosing New Build Installations

 

If the cabling and equipment have already been installed but something isn't working correctly, we can diagnose the existing setup.

 

Problems can include:

 

• Ethernet points not working

• Unlabelled or unterminated cables

• Poor WiFi coverage

• Network equipment incorrectly configured

• TV or AV connections not working

• Problems with existing network cabinets

• Damaged or incorrectly terminated cabling

 

We'll inspect and test the existing system to identify where the problem lies before recommending what needs to be corrected.

 

Where the existing installation can be repaired or properly configured, we'll look to resolve that rather than replacing equipment unnecessarily.

​

​

​

 

Point-to-Point WiFi for Outbuildings

 

New properties increasingly include garden offices, workshops, garages and other detached buildings requiring an internet connection.

 

Where running a physical network cable between buildings isn't practical, a wireless bridge can sometimes provide an alternative by transmitting the network connection from one building to another.

 

Home Connected provides dedicated Point-to-Point WiFi installation for suitable properties throughout Brighton and Sussex.

Future-Proofing Your New Home

 

Nobody can predict exactly what technology a property will require in the future, but planning suitable infrastructure during construction can make future changes significantly easier.

 

Depending on the project, it may be worthwhile considering additional data cabling or connection points for areas that aren't immediately being used.

 

Planning ahead can help accommodate:

 

• Additional TVs

• Future WiFi access points

• Home offices

• CCTV cameras

• Additional network equipment

• Audio systems

• Garden rooms and outbuildings

• Future AV equipment

 

We'll discuss how the property will be used now and what may reasonably be required later, helping you avoid unnecessary retrofitting where possible.

Working With Homeowners, Builders & Developers

 

Home Connected can work directly with homeowners as well as alongside builders and other contractors during a new-build project.

 

Getting involved before the relevant walls, floors and ceilings are finished gives us the opportunity to discuss cable routes, equipment positions and infrastructure requirements while changes are still relatively straightforward.

 

We can also attend later in the project to terminate, configure and test equipment once the property reaches the appropriate stage.

 

If construction has already finished, that's not necessarily a problem either. We can assess what's been installed and advise on the most practical way forward.
