Connectivity Planning for Architects

Network Consulting for Architectural Projects in Vancouver

Build it right the first time.

Technology is now as fundamental as plumbing or power. Yet too often, network infrastructure is an afterthought, leading to costly rework, frustrated tenants, and wasted time. I help architects integrate connectivity into the blueprint from day one, so every project is ready for modern demands.

With 20+ years of IT and network design experience, I work alongside architects to ensure that residential, commercial, and mixed-use buildings are wired for success, from smart building systems to tenant-ready networks.

How I Help

Practical, architecture-aligned consulting for:

• Structured Cabling Plans – Cat6/Cat6a, fiber, conduit routing, and IDF/MDF placement based on building type.

• Network Room Design – Guidance on space allocation, cooling, power, and layout for telecom closets.

• Wireless Coverage Strategy – Access point placement to eliminate dead zones in concrete-heavy or high-ceiling spaces.

• IoT & Building Systems Readiness – Support for access control, security, HVAC, AV, and other connected systems.

• Tenant Requirements – Future-proofing suites and units with drops, jacks, and backbone connectivity.

Why Architects Work With Me

• Construction-aware – I speak the language of design and build teams.

• Time-saving clarity – No back-and-forth when IT gets pulled in too late.

• On-call reviews – I vet plans and catch issues before permits or construction begin.
