Old cable removal

Our San Jose TI Cabling Process
Six steps from site walk to turnover.
Site walk
We review the TI drawings, check the existing cabling, riser and IDF, and confirm landlord requirements.
Drop plan and estimate
You receive a marked-up floor plan, IDF layout and an itemized estimate you can share with your GC.
Demo and rough-in
Old cable comes out and new pathways go in on the construction schedule.
Pull and terminate
Every drop is pulled, terminated and landed on labeled patch panels.
Certify
Each drop is tested; failures are fixed before turnover.
Turnover
Test reports, as-builts and port maps go to you, your IT team and the landlord.
Tenant Improvement Cabling FAQs for San Jose
Quick answers to the questions tenants, brokers and GCs ask most.
Can TI allowance cover cabling?
Often, but it depends on your lease. Many tenant improvement allowances include low-voltage cabling, so check with your broker or landlord.
Do we have to remove the old tenant’s cable?
The electrical code requires accessible abandoned cable to be removed, and many leases assign that work to the incoming tenant or landlord.
Does the landlord need to approve the cabling plan?
Usually. Most commercial properties require approval for riser use, penetrations and access hours, and we help prepare what they ask for. Any electrical permit and electrical work for new power are handled by your GC’s electricians.
How long does TI cabling take?
It runs alongside the construction schedule. Pulls and terminations for a typical suite take days, timed to framing, ceilings and finishes.
