Structured Cat6/Cat6A cabling, and fibre optic where copper won't cut it. Paired with Ubiquiti UniFi Wi-Fi, planned with proper coverage mapping before a single cable is run, and a network properly segmented from day one.
The usual approach is to put a router somewhere central and see what happens — then add a mesh point wherever the signal drops out. It works eventually, but it means dead spots get found by whoever's unlucky enough to stand in one.
We map coverage against your actual floor plan before any cable is run, and every cable we do run is tested with proper equipment — so what you're handed over is proof it works, not a hope that it will.
The usual approach to office Wi-Fi is to put a router somewhere central and see what happens — then add a mesh point wherever the signal drops out. It works, eventually, but it means dead spots get found by whoever's unlucky enough to stand in one, and every device sits on the same flat network as everything else.
We design coverage with UniFi's Design Center before any cable is run, modelling access point placement against the actual floor plan and building materials. Every network gets proper VLAN segmentation as standard — guest devices, IoT gear, staff, and POS traffic kept separate — with 802.1x and firewall rules configured to match how the business actually operates, and every cable run tested with Fluke test equipment.
Both end with Wi-Fi in the house. Only one of them can tell you why it works before it's installed.

A homeowner recently asked about fixing patchy Wi-Fi, then went ahead and bought a consumer mesh kit themselves instead. We'd already mapped a coverage plan for the property, so it's a useful, real comparison — not a hypothetical one.
To match the coverage a properly placed two-access-point install would give, the house needed at least four mesh nodes: one in the garage where the connection enters, one next to it just to relay the signal further in, and two more for the far side of the house.
| Mesh Kit (4 nodes) | Designed Wired Install (2 APs) | |
|---|---|---|
| Hardware cost | ~$2,000 | Lower — including design & install labour |
| Signal strength | Weakens at every relay hop | Full strength at every access point |
| Placement | Constrained by node-to-node range | Modelled on the actual floor plan |
| Real-world performance | Compounding signal loss the further you get from the router | Consistent throughout the home |
Every relay hop in a mesh chain weakens the signal a little further — by the fourth node, coverage is a shadow of what the first one gives you. Two properly placed, wired access points don't carry that penalty at all, which is how a smaller, cheaper setup ends up outperforming a larger, more expensive one.
Every property is different — coverage needs depend on floor plan, construction, and how the space is used. This is why we plan first and quote second.
A home network is mostly about coverage. A business network has to handle a lot more at once — POS terminals, staff workstations, security cameras, guest Wi-Fi, and often a phone system, all on the same physical infrastructure but kept properly apart from each other.
The same design discipline applies whether it's a three-bedroom house or a multi-tenant office. For a gate or shed hundreds of metres from the house, see our Acreage & Rural Properties page — that's a different problem to a dead Wi-Fi spot in the house.
Cat6 and Cat6A copper for standard runs, and fibre optic where copper won't cut it — longer distances, higher bandwidth, or a genuinely future-proof backbone. Most electricians running ethernet only offer the copper side; we do both.
Copper & FibreAccess point placement modelled against your actual floor plan and building materials before install day — coverage where you need it, not where it happened to land.
Planned, Not GuessedGuest Wi-Fi, IoT and smart home devices, and your main network kept properly separate as standard, not an optional extra.
Segmented By DefaultEvery run tested with Fluke test equipment and handed over with proof of quality — not just plugged in and assumed to work.
Tested, Not AssumedEvery network labelled, tested, and documented at completion — so any future technician, not just us, can pick up exactly where we left off.
No Guesswork LaterAn established trade business moved off an ageing, poorly segmented network onto a properly designed one — new structured cabling, a dedicated IoT/camera VLAN, isolated guest Wi-Fi, and a same-day cutover with no downtime for staff or point-of-sale.
Whether it's one dead spot in the house or a full office fit-out, tell us about the space and we'll design coverage that's actually planned for it.
