Audio and Video Infrastructure Built for Custom Home Construction
Audio and video systems in a custom home succeed or fail based on the infrastructure planned behind them. We design and coordinate audio and video infrastructure for custom home builders throughout Houston, TX and the Greater Houston area, ensuring speaker locations, TV placements, and equipment layouts are planned early and integrated cleanly into the construction process.
Builder Challenges with Audio Video Systems
Audio and video issues often surface late in the build—improper TV locations, missed speaker wiring, inadequate backing, or equipment rooms that weren’t designed for heat, power, or access.
Our role is to prevent those issues by treating audio and video as part of the construction scope from the start.
Audio and video infrastructure is closely tied to prewire and structured wiring—view our low voltage solutions to see how these systems are planned together during construction.
Our Approach to Audio and Video During Construction
We coordinate audio and video planning during plan review, framing, and prewire—ensure all locations, pathways, and allowances are clearly defined before work begins.
This includes speaker layouts, TV mounting locations, backing requirements, conduit pathways, and equipment placement—coordinated alongside electrical, framing, and other trades.
Speaker Prewire, TV Locations, and Backing
Speaker prewire and TV placement decisions are made with room use, sightlines, and finish conditions in mind. We plan mounting heights, backing, and wire paths early to avoid surface-mounted solutions or late-stage changes.
This approach supports clean finishes and protects the build schedule while giving homeowners flexibility without introducing mid-build disruption.
Equipment Locations, Racks, and Serviceability
Audio and video systems require equipment locations planned for ventilation, power, access, and long-term serviceability. We design rack layouts and equipment spaces that function reliably without impacting adjacent trades or finishes.
Equipment planning is coordinated to support efficient installation, clean turnover, and long-term maintenance.
Supporting Homeowner Options Without Scope Creep
A well-planned audio and video infrastructure allows homeowners to make informed choices without introducing change orders during construction.
By defining base infrastructure early and identifying optional upgrade paths, we help builders protect schedules while preserving future flexibility.
