Commercial Low-Voltage Contractor for New Builds & Renovations
One low-voltage partner for rough-in, trim-out, cabling, cameras, access, Wi-Fi, and AV — coordinated with the GC, electrician, and construction schedule.
Atkins Tech Solutions works as the commercial low-voltage contractor for new construction, tenant improvements, renovations, and technology upgrades. We coordinate the physical infrastructure and device work that sits between the electrician, IT provider, security vendor, AV equipment, and construction schedule.
A single ATS scope can include structured cabling, network wiring, wireless access points, security cameras, access control, commercial AV, and related low-voltage device installation — reducing the number of trades a GC or owner has to coordinate.

What is commercial low-voltage installation?
Commercial low-voltage installation is the communications and control work that is not line-voltage electrical: structured cabling, IP cameras, access control, business Wi-Fi, and commercial audio. Atkins Tech Solutions phases it as rough-in and trim-out on the GC's schedule. See low-voltage rough-in vs. trim-out.
What's included
- Single low-voltage trade for GC projects
- Rough-in, trim-out, and device installation
- Firestopping and pathway coordination
- All scopes: cabling, cameras, access, AV, Wi-Fi
For general contractors
The most expensive low-voltage problems happen when decisions are made after walls close. Atkins Tech Solutions can enter during preconstruction or rough-in to review plans, counts, pathways, telecom rooms, device mounting locations, and trade boundaries. See how to hire a low-voltage subcontractor.
- Drawing and scope review
- Device-count and location verification
- Pathway and box-location coordination
- Rough-in aligned with construction milestones
- Cabling and terminations
- Device trim-out
- Testing and punch-list completion
- Closeout documentation and as-built notes
For electrical contractors
Atkins Tech Solutions can take the communications and technology portion of a project while the electrical contractor retains line-voltage scope. Early coordination is important so conduit, sleeves, backboxes, power, grounding, and device locations are ready for the low-voltage work.
- Pathway and box location coordination pre-rough-in
- Data cabling, cameras, and access as sub scope
- Trim-out aligned with your crew's schedule
- Documented handoff to owner or IT team
One low-voltage scope, multiple systems
Depending on the project, Atkins Tech Solutions can combine commercial structured cabling, network and data cabling, business Wi-Fi, security cameras, access control, conference room AV, and commercial audio under one subcontract.
Rough-in and trim-out
Rough-in is the window for pathway, cable placement, sleeves, boxes, telecom-room preparation, and coordination before finishes close access. Trim-out is when cables are terminated, devices are mounted, racks are completed, labels are finalized, systems are tested, and deficiencies are corrected. See low-voltage rough-in vs. trim-out.
Closeout matters
A low-voltage subcontractor should leave behind more than working devices. The owner and IT team should have enough labeling and documentation to maintain the system after the construction team leaves. See low-voltage as-built documentation.
Regional coverage
Atkins Tech Solutions' core commercial service area includes the Pocono Mountains, Lehigh Valley, Scranton–Wilkes-Barre, Hazleton area, Carbon/Monroe corridor, and Northern New Jersey. Larger multi-site and commercial projects are considered outside the core area based on scope.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
- Can ATS carry the full low-voltage scope under one subcontract?
Where the project requirements fit Atkins Tech Solutions' capabilities, yes. Combining cabling, Wi-Fi, cameras, access control, and AV can simplify schedule coordination and closeout.
- Do you coordinate with the electrician?
Yes. Power, pathway, sleeves, backboxes, grounding, and low-voltage device placement often cross trade boundaries, so coordination before rough-in is important.
- Can you bid from plans?
Atkins Tech Solutions can review plans and specifications for budgeting and bidding. Final scope may require RFIs, a walkthrough, or verification of field conditions.
- Do you handle occupied renovations?
Yes. Scheduling, ceiling access, dust/noise restrictions, after-hours requirements, and protection of existing operations are reviewed before the work is finalized.
- Who owns firestopping?
Firestop responsibility should be written in the spec. Atkins Tech Solutions coordinates firestop at rated walls on commercial low-voltage penetrations.
- Do you provide as-builts?
Yes. Labeled pathways, tested copper, and handoff notes are standard on Atkins Tech Solutions commercial installs. See low-voltage as-built documentation.
