★FOR CUSTOM BUILDERS · PRE-WIRE + INSTALL
The AV integrator on your preferred trades list.
IntegrateIT is a low-voltage trade on the preferred lists of Kansas City custom-home builders, working from the Overland Park design center at 15108 Glenwood Ave. The stage to bring us in is pre-construction: once the plans are set and before the electrical layout is final. The pre-wire spec is in your hands the week the project signs, and low-voltage rough-in runs the same week as the electrician, after MEP and before insulation and drywall. Control4 Platinum Dealer, Crestron Elite Partner, Lutron Certified Dealer. Fixed-price proposals, and no surprise change orders.
If you build custom homes in the Kansas City metro and want one AV integrator who fits inside your existing trade rhythm, this is how we work.
Five commitments to every builder, in writing
The contract we sign with every builder we work with.
- 01
Pre-wire spec, on the rough-in schedule
Our pre-wire spec is in your hands the same week the project signs. Low-voltage rough-in runs alongside electrical — same week, same trade rhythm. We don’t hold up framing or drywall.
- 02
Fixed-price proposals
After the site walk, we write a fixed-price proposal. That price is the price. If the scope changes mid-build, we surface the delta + price before doing the work, never on the final invoice. No "TBD line items." No surprise change orders.
- 03
KCHBA-friendly
Our pre-wire process matches the rough-in conventions Kansas City builders use. A trade that fits the existing build flow, not a vendor that disrupts it.
- 04
One crew, one PM
Daniel runs every project. The crew is the same KC-local crew on every install — we don’t subcontract the work that decides whether the wiring disappears and the project finishes clean. The builder gets one phone number. That phone number is Daniel’s.
- 05
Five-year warranty, then our support
Every install carries a five-year workmanship warranty, and the equipment carries its own manufacturer warranty. After that, the homeowner has our support for as long as they own the system. When the homeowner calls four years post-close, the builder doesn’t hear about it — IntegrateIT handles it directly.
Process
How a builder partnership runs.
01 · Pre-construction
We walk the plans with you — on your timeline.
Once a project signs, we read the architectural set, the electrical RCP, and the structured-cabling spec (if one exists). We meet on site with you and the electrician before rough-in. Pre-wire spec is in your inbox the same week.
02 · Rough-in
Same week as the electrician. Same trade rhythm.
Our crew shows up the same week the electrician roughs in power. We pull low-voltage cable, set boxes, leave service loops at every keypad / display / speaker location. Drywall happens on your schedule, not ours.
03 · Trim + finish
Concealed wiring, level keypads, clean racks.
Trim happens after paint, before the homeowner walks the house. Keypads land level, racks are labeled, every cable is dressed. The homeowner’s first impression is "this looks like it was always meant to be here" — because it was.
04 · Handoff + warranty
One-hour walkthrough. Then we’re the support line.
We sit with the homeowner for an hour on closing day, train them on lights, audio, video, climate, security. The five-year workmanship warranty runs from the final invoice that closes the project, and our support runs for as long as they own the system. The builder isn’t the homeowner’s tech-support phone number anymore — we are.
Best fit
The builders we are right for.
Custom-home GCs
Builders who do a handful to a dozen custom homes a year, with consistent pre-wire requirements and homeowner-direct close-outs.
Design-build firms
Firms running architecture + construction under one roof. We slot into the design phase so the AV spec is part of the documents the homeowner signs, not a change order later.
Specification-driven remodels
High-end whole-house remodels where the homeowner expects the AV system to match the millwork. We work with the GC + the designer + the electrician as a single trade.
We don’t want to be your AV vendor. We want to be the trade on your preferred list — the one you call before you call the electrician, because the AV spec drives the rough-in rhythm.

On how IntegrateIT works with builders.
Questions we get asked first
At what stage of a custom build should the AV and smart home company come in?
At pre-construction, before the electrical layout is finalized. The hard deadline is framing: low-voltage rough-in happens after framing inspection and MEP rough-in and before insulation and drywall, so anything not run then becomes fishing, patching and painting later. The useful moment is earlier, when the plans are set, because the AV spec drives blocking, conduit and panel locations. IntegrateIT has the pre-wire spec to a builder the week the project signs.
Will low-voltage rough-in hold up my framing or drywall schedule?
It should not. The IntegrateIT crew works the same week the electrician roughs in power, pulling cable, setting boxes and leaving service loops at each keypad, display and speaker location, then trims after paint and before the homeowner walks the house. The on-site rough-in window is typically five to twelve days depending on the size of the home, and we send the general contractor a written ready-for-low-voltage checklist before we mobilize.
