Capabilities
Our Services

Installation, support, and maintenance across four core disciplines — delivered standalone or fully integrated for commercial and government clients.

Structured Cabling

We design and install complete structured cabling infrastructure following established industry standards to ensure compliance at every stage. Our work covers horizontal copper runs, backbone cabling, MDF and IDF buildouts, and all associated termination and certification.

We install raceway, rigid and EMT piping, coax, low voltage power and control cables, optical fiber, and Cat5e, Cat6, and Cat6A cabling. Head-end configuration for CATV and network switches is also available.

Access Control

From single-entry card readers to enterprise multi-site deployments, we install and configure access control systems for commercial and government clients. Our scope covers device installation, wiring, conduit, and head-end configuration.

We install complete device packages and perform head-end configuration, ensuring every system is operational and verified before we leave the job.

CCTV & Cameras

We install IP and analog security cameras, wireless camera systems, and the full supporting infrastructure — conduit, low voltage power, control cabling, and mounting structures including camera poles with concrete bases.

Head-end and remote-end configuration for CCTV systems is available. We also service existing exterior cameras and parking lot security lighting.

Outside Plant

We perform complete outside plant construction for security, voice, and data infrastructure. Our 42-foot bucket vehicle with a 1,500 lb jib enables elevated work that most subcontractors cannot handle.

Outside plant work is performed alongside interior scopes — making Commercial Trades a single point of contact for projects spanning building interiors and exterior grounds.

We install all conduit, raceway, cable, and field devices — terminated at the device end and at the communications room.

04

Configuration & Testing

Head-end configuration for access control, CCTV, CATV, and network switches. Every cable tested. Every device verified.

05

Closeout & Support

Full as-built documentation and test reports on delivery. Contractual 24/7/365 emergency service available post-completion.
