Structured Wiring for New Construction in Virginia — Wire It Right the First Time

If you are building a new home in Virginia, the single smartest technology decision you can make happens before the drywall goes up. Running low voltage wiring during construction costs a fraction of retrofitting later — and the results are cleaner, faster, and future-proof.

At Zaxx Tech Solutions, we work directly with builders and homeowners across Virginia to design and install structured wiring systems during the build.


Why Pre-Wire Matters

Once walls are closed, running new cable means cutting drywall, fishing wires blind, and patching afterward — expensive and never as clean. During the pre-drywall phase, we run cable through open walls quickly and neatly, terminating everything at a central panel.

Wired connections also simply outperform WiFi for the things that matter:

  • TVs and game consoles — no buffering, no lag
  • Home offices — rock-solid video calls
  • Cameras — reliable power and data over one cable
  • Access points — the backbone for whole-home WiFi

What We Wire During Construction

Location Typical Wiring
Every bedroom Ethernet (Cat6)
Living / great room 2x Ethernet + coax
Home office 2x Ethernet
Kitchen Ethernet for smart displays
Ceilings Cat6 to WiFi access point locations
Exterior Cat6 to each camera location
Doors Low voltage for smart locks
Utility area Central low voltage panel

How We Work With Your Builder

We coordinate directly with your general contractor and electrician so our work fits the construction timeline:

  1. Pre-construction consultation — we review plans and map every drop
  2. Rough-in — we run and label all cable during the open-wall phase
  3. Panel installation — everything terminates at a clean central panel
  4. Post-drywall — we install and test devices: jacks, access points, cameras

We show up, do our part during rough-in, and stay out of the way of the other trades.


Serving Builders and Homeowners Across Virginia

We provide structured wiring for new construction throughout the New River Valley, Roanoke Valley, and surrounding counties — Radford, Blacksburg, Christiansburg, Fairlawn, Dublin, Pulaski, and beyond. Licensed and insured, and experienced working alongside Virginia builders.
