Connectivity Planning for Architects

Network Consulting for Architectural Projects in Vancouver

Build it right the first time.

Architects design environments where form meets function. But when it comes to technology infrastructure, many projects fall short—leading to costly changes, rework, or frustrated tenants. I help architects avoid that.

With over 20 years of experience in IT and network design, I partner with you to ensure every commercial, residential, or mixed-use project is wired for the demands of modern connectivity—from smart building systems to tenant-ready networks.

What I Do

I provide practical, architecture-aligned consulting for:

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

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

  • Wireless Coverage Strategy - Planning for AP placement to avoid dead zones in concrete-heavy or high-ceiling environments.

  • IoT & Building Systems Readiness - Support for access control, security, HVAC, AV, and other smart systems that rely on dependable network infrastructure.

  • Tenant Requirements - Advice on how to future-proof units or suites with proper drops, jacks, and backbone connectivity for whatever tech stack the tenant brings.

Why Architects Work with Me

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

  • Time-saving clarity – I help avoid the back-and-forth that happens when IT is brought in too late.

  • On-call for reviews – I’m available to vet plans and catch issues before permits or construction begin.
