PROJECT OVERVIEW
Custom Home Technology & Low-Voltage Infrastructure
Richmond, British Columbia, Canada
Future Bridges Technologies delivered the low-voltage and technology infrastructure for a newly built custom residence in Richmond, British Columbia. The scope combined approximately 34 Cat6A data runs, wireless connectivity, fiber and RG6 demarcation pathways, exterior surveillance and entry communication with AV, automated-shade and central-vacuum infrastructure.
A key requirement was separate service and network infrastructure for the rental suite to maintain independent connectivity from the main residence. Dedicated service pathways and organized central infrastructure supported that separation while keeping future additions and servicing practical.
The installation coordinated technology pathways throughout the residence, including the ground-floor and upper-floor family-room media walls. Automated window shades were addressed through low-voltage infrastructure and prewiring; the central-vacuum scope was a complete rough-in.
LOW-VOLTAGE & TECHNOLOGY INFRASTRUCTURE
Future Bridges Technologies delivered a coordinated custom-home technology and low-voltage infrastructure scope, including structured cabling, wireless, separate main-residence and rental-suite connectivity, surveillance, entry communication, AV readiness, automated-shade prewiring and central-vacuum rough-in.

FUTURE BRIDGES RESPONSIBILITY
The Project Scope
Future Bridges Technologies delivered a coordinated custom-home technology and low-voltage infrastructure scope, including structured cabling, wireless, separate main-residence and rental-suite connectivity, surveillance, entry communication, AV readiness, automated-shade prewiring and central-vacuum rough-in.
Surveillance & Entry Communication
- Residential perimeter and exterior surveillance infrastructure
- Small local monitoring display
- Video doorbells and main-door intercom
- Supporting low-voltage connectivity and pathways
Media & Smart-Home Readiness
- Family-room media-wall infrastructure
- Media boxes and concealed AV/data pathways
- Automated window-shade prewiring
- Infrastructure coordinated with room and window locations
Central Vacuum Rough-In
- Central vacuum piping and inlet rough-in
- Routing throughout the residence
- Centralized unit location and service point
- Infrastructure ready for future equipment connection
STRUCTURED CONNECTIVITY
Structured Cabling & Data Infrastructure
Approximately 34 Cat6A home-run data runs provided structured connectivity for the residence’s network, wireless access points, surveillance, media and connected devices. Structured terminations, labeling and organized central infrastructure kept the cabling system accessible for future service and changes.
- Approximately 34 Cat6A data runs
- Home-run cabling and structured terminations
- Labeling and professional cable management
- Pathway coordination and future serviceability
WIRELESS INFRASTRUCTURE
Wireless Connectivity Within the Structured Network
Three wireless access points were incorporated into the home’s structured network infrastructure to support consistent wireless coverage across the residence. Access-point locations and supporting cabling were coordinated with the wider low-voltage installation.
- 3 wireless access points
- Supporting network cabling
- Discreet access-point infrastructure integrated into the residence
INDEPENDENT CONNECTIVITY
Separate Main Residence & Rental Suite Infrastructure
The project provided separate service and network infrastructure for the rental suite to maintain independent connectivity from the main residence. Dedicated pathways and organized physical infrastructure supported the separation and future serviceability of each environment.
- Independent rental-suite connectivity
- Dedicated service infrastructure for the suite
- Organized separation from the main residence
SERVICE-ENTRY INFRASTRUCTURE
Cat6A, RG6 & Fiber Demarcation Pathways
Three demarcation and service infrastructure paths were included: two serving the main residence and one dedicated to the rental suite. Each relevant pathway incorporated Cat6A, RG6 coaxial and 2-core fiber optic cable infrastructure for service entry and future connectivity requirements.
- 3 demarcation infrastructure paths
- 2 pathways serving the main residence
- 1 dedicated pathway serving the rental suite
- Cat6A, RG6 coaxial and 2-core fiber optic cable
EXTERIOR SURVEILLANCE
Outdoor Video Surveillance & Local Monitoring
Nine outdoor cameras and a small local monitoring screen formed the confirmed exterior surveillance scope. Supporting cabling and connectivity were integrated into the residence’s low-voltage infrastructure for perimeter and exterior monitoring.
- 9 outdoor cameras
- Small local monitoring screen / display
- Surveillance connectivity coordinated with the structured cabling
VISITOR COMMUNICATION
Video Doorbells & Main-Door Intercom
Two video doorbells and one main-door intercom were included as part of the home’s entry communication and visitor-management infrastructure. Supporting pathways and connectivity were coordinated with the broader technology installation.
- 2 video doorbells
- 1 main-door intercom
- Entry communication supported by the low-voltage infrastructure
AV & MEDIA INFRASTRUCTURE
Family-Room Media Walls & Concealed Connectivity
Two main media-wall locations served the ground-floor and upper-floor family rooms. Two media boxes and coordinated pathways supported clean installation of televisions, network connections and AV equipment, with concealed cabling and readiness for future media devices.
- Ground-floor family-room media wall
- Upper-floor family-room media wall
- 2 media boxes
- Concealed AV and network cabling with future device readiness
SMART-HOME INFRASTRUCTURE
Automated Window-Shade Prewiring
Low-voltage infrastructure was provided for 17 automated window-shade locations. Prewiring was coordinated with the windows and supporting cable pathways to accommodate motorized shade systems. The documented scope is the shade infrastructure and prewire.
- 17 automated window-shade infrastructure locations
- Low-voltage prewire coordinated with window locations
- Infrastructure to support future or separately installed motorized shades
CONSTRUCTION ROUGH-IN
Central Vacuum Rough-In
Future Bridges completed the central-vacuum rough-in, including piping, four vacuum inlet points and organized routing to a centralized unit location and service point. Each inlet was planned around an approximate 30-foot service radius. The confirmed scope covers rough-in infrastructure and does not include a claim of final vacuum equipment installation.
- 4 central-vacuum inlet rough-in points
- Approximate 30-foot service radius per inlet
- Central vacuum piping and organized routing throughout the residence
- Centralized unit location / service point

PROJECT OUTCOME
The Delivered Contribution
The project established an organized, scalable and future-ready technology foundation for the custom residence. Structured connectivity and independent rental-suite infrastructure were combined with wireless coverage infrastructure, perimeter surveillance and visitor communication.
Concealed media pathways provided AV readiness, while automated-shade infrastructure and central-vacuum rough-in extended the coordinated installation scope. Organized routing and central infrastructure support future additions and long-term serviceability.
