Luxury Home Renovation UniFi Pre-Wire, Greater LA

Gbit Tech came in early on a two-story renovation and addition, pre-wiring data, cameras, Wi-Fi and fiber while the walls were still open.

Exposed wall framing with orange conduit and black low-voltage cable routed through the studs.

Rough-in. Conduit and cable are placed while the framing is still open.

DURING
Bundle of cables with red keystone jacks terminated, next to a coiled teal fiber loop, on protected flooring.

Runs labeled and terminated as construction progressed, with fiber coiled and protected.

AFTER
Tall black equipment rack with a glass door standing against a white wall in a finished room.

The details

Gbit Tech was brought in early for a major renovation and home addition project on an existing two-story luxury residence in Greater Los Angeles.

The scope included opening walls, expanding living spaces, and adding new rooms, creating the perfect opportunity to pre-wire the entire home for a modern UniFi ecosystem.

Starting during the rough-in phase while framing was exposed, we installed comprehensive structured cabling, security, and WiFi infrastructure that integrates seamlessly into the renovated design.

Challenges

  • Working within an active renovation site while coordinating around demolition, framing, drywall, and other trades.
  • Ensuring precise placement of data drops, camera locations, and access points in both existing and new addition areas.
  • Running two multi-mode fiber links for high-bandwidth needs across the expanded layout.
  • Achieving optimal WiFi coverage and camera sight lines in a large, multi-level home with high ceilings, open floor plans, and newly constructed spaces.

Solutions

During the rough-in phase with walls open, Gbit Tech installed:

  • 12 CAT6 data drops positioned for wall-mounted TVs, office workstations, smart home controls, and entertainment areas
  • 9 UniFi Protect camera runs pre-wired for G5 series domes, bullets, and PTZ units with PoE readiness
  • 5 UniFi WiFi access point locations (U7 Pro series) strategically placed for seamless whole-home coverage and roaming
  • 2 multi-mode fiber optic links (OM3) connecting the main equipment rack to secondary zones for 10G+ backbone performance

All cabling was carefully routed, labeled, and terminated as construction progressed, allowing drywall and finishes to close cleanly around service loops and low-voltage boxes.

Final UniFi equipment (Dream Machine, switches, NVR, access points, and cameras) was installed and configured once the renovation reached trim-out stage.

Results

The homeowner now has a fully modernized smart home with multi-gigabit wired connectivity, blanket WiFi 7 coverage with no dead zones, and comprehensive 4K UniFi Protect surveillance, all unified under one intuitive, subscription-free platform.

Cameras and access points blend discreetly into the renovated architecture, while the centralized rack remains organized and easily accessible for future expansion. The early rough-in approach eliminated any visible surface wiring and ensured maximum performance from move-in day.
