Why We Added Structured Cabling & IT Networking to Our Scope
Intellicon has formally launched a Structured Cabling & IT Networking division — fiber, CCTV, access control, PABX, server rooms and IT support AMC, delivered alongside our existing BMS work. It is not a new direction; it is the part of the job we were already doing informally on almost every project.
The Gap We Kept Running Into
On almost every commercial fit-out and retrofit, the BMS network and the building's IT/data network share the same physical infrastructure — containment routes, IDF/MDF rooms, and often the same cable pathways. When a separate contractor handled structured cabling on a different schedule, we regularly discovered contested routing, undersized comms rooms, or protocol conflicts only at commissioning — expensive to fix late, trivial to avoid at design stage.
Formalising structured cabling and IT networking as a direct Intellicon service means one team designs the shared infrastructure from day one — no handoff gap between the BMS contractor and the IT fit-out contractor.
What's Included
The new division covers Cat6/Cat6A data and voice cabling, LAN/WAN and Wi-Fi builds, fiber optic and FTTH backbone for multi-floor or campus sites, CCTV and access control integration, PABX telephony systems, and full server room design and build — racks, cooling, power distribution and cable management.
An IT support AMC is available for ongoing maintenance once a network is live — the same commissioning-and-handover discipline we already apply to BMS projects, extended to the network layer.
Who This Is For
Anyone already engaging Intellicon for BMS on a new build or retrofit is the natural first fit — bundling cabling design into the same site survey avoids a second contractor mobilisation. It also stands alone: offices, warehouses and campuses needing a network refresh without a BMS component are welcome to scope structured cabling only.
Planning a Fit-Out or Network Refresh?
Tell us your building type and scope — we'll confirm whether structured cabling, BMS, or both make sense for your site, free of charge for the initial assessment.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why did a BMS company add structured cabling services?
Building Management Systems and structured cabling share the same low-voltage infrastructure — cable containment, IDF/MDF rooms, and network backbone. Clients fitting out a new building were already asking us to coordinate cabling with the BMS network design, so formalising the service closed a genuine gap rather than opening an unrelated new line of business.
What does Intellicon's structured cabling service include?
Cat6/Cat6A data and voice cabling, fiber optic and FTTH backbone, CCTV, access control, PABX telephony systems, server room design and build, and IT support AMC — sized for the building's current and future load, from single offices to multi-floor commercial fit-outs.
Can Intellicon design a network alongside an existing BMS installation?
Yes — this is where the combined scope pays off. When the same team designs the cable containment and network backbone that both BMS controllers and IT equipment share, integration issues that normally surface at commissioning (contested pathways, insufficient IDF capacity, protocol conflicts) are caught at design stage instead.
