I am building a new house and I am trying to prewire as much as possible. If price was not an object what would you pre-wire?
Currently, I have my house being set up for Lutron RA2 lights
Putting 18/2 for speakers in each rooms
One cat5e by each room for a tablet/intercom
Cat5e for cameras
22/2 for Door/window contacts by all exterior doors and windows
smurftube by every room (where the intercom is for future growth).
18/2 by windows where I may want power shades.
What else am I missing?
Thank you
I have found that many homes wired to code fail to have outlets, etc. located where they are most useful. It used to be that you had to have an outlet within 3 feet of a door and every 10 feet after that. Too many outlets end up behind the middle of the couch or bed and not in the best place for access after furniture is in place. Do your best to envision furniture and countertops and their placement and use. Both ends of the couch, both sides of a bed, etc… Also, don’t put too many outlets on an single circuit in a kitchen or shop area.
