Best Fit For
Who this is built for
Office tenants needing structured cabling before furniture arrives. Retail operators needing POS, camera, and AV runs on a fit-out schedule. Restaurant owners wiring for POS, sound, and cameras. Homeowners adding a home office, media room, or security system. Contractors needing low-voltage coordinated within a renovation project.
How It Works
How the project moves
Site Survey
Walk the space, count drops, confirm pathways, identify conduit requirements, review IT and AV specs.
Scope & Quote
Written scope with drop count, system types, and per-drop planning range. Schedule confirmed.
Installation
Cable runs, pathways, patch panel, rack, and device installation — coordinated with construction schedule.
Test & Handoff
Every run tested and labelled. Documentation provided. Clean handoff to IT team or end user.
Common Questions
What clients usually ask
What's the difference between low-voltage and regular electrical?
Low-voltage operates below 50V — data cables, cameras, AV, intercoms. Standard 120V/240V electrical is handled by a licensed electrician. DRW handles low-voltage only — but when we’re on the same job, rough-in is coordinated so walls only close once.
How much does structured cabling cost in Ontario?
Data cabling: $14–$22 per drop installed (Cat6, wall plate, patch panel termination). Camera systems: $350–$650 per camera installed including cable run and NVR connection. Full office low-voltage: $12–$22/sq ft depending on drop density and system complexity.
Can you wire an existing building without opening walls?
Often yes — in-ceiling pathways, existing conduit, wall cavities, and surface raceway handle most existing-building situations. Some runs require limited wall access, flagged at survey.
Do you do residential as well as commercial?
Yes. Home office Cat6, whole-home data rough-in, security cameras, and media room wiring. Coordinated with renovation schedule when both are in scope.

Why clients choose DRW
for low-voltage
01
Structured Cabling Done Right
Cat6 runs, patch panels, port labelling, and test documentation — installed to commercial standards on every job, residential or commercial.
02
Cameras + Access Control
IP camera systems, NVR installation, access control readers, and intercom systems are standard scope — not add-ons we don’t understand.
03
Coordinated with Construction
When DRW does both the renovation and wiring, rough-in happens before walls close. No drilling through finished drywall after the fact.
04
Restaurant + Retail Capable
POS wiring, AV distribution, camera systems, and back-of-house data runs from direct commercial experience.
05
Residential Too
Home offices, media rooms, security cameras, and whole-home data rough-in — same attention to detail as commercial work.
06
Documented Handoff
Every cable run labelled, tested, and documented. Your IT team takes over from a clean, organized patch panel — not a mystery box of cables.

Ready for a site survey?
A 30-minute site survey confirms pathways, drop locations, conduit requirements, and coordination with any ongoing construction — giving us everything needed for a firm quote.
Estimates based on Ontario medium–high market rates 2024–2025. Per-drop costs vary by run length, pathway complexity, and building conditions. Retrofit installations in existing buildings typically run 20–35% higher than new construction rough-in. This tool is for planning purposes only — not a quote or contract.
