Pre-Wire & New Construction in Rapid City and the Black Hills
Low-voltage pre-wire in Rapid City from Brink Design: rough-in scheduled directly with your builder before drywall, with network, camera, doorbell, access point, and speaker wiring in the walls, conduit paths for future additions, runs planned from the floor plan and documented, and trim-out once the home is finished. Serving builders and homeowners across the Black Hills.
The cheapest time to wire a home is before the walls are closed. We coordinate directly with your builder to rough in the low-voltage infrastructure during framing: network drops, WiFi access point locations, camera and doorbell wiring, speaker wire for audio and theater, and conduit paths for whatever comes later. Every run is planned from the floor plan, placed around the electrical and mechanical trades, and documented so the finish work drops in cleanly once the home is painted. Skipping this step means fishing wires through finished walls later, at several times the cost. Doing it right means the home is ready for anything on move-in day.

How we work
In the walls before the drywall.
Pre-wire succeeds on timing and coordination. We work from the plans, show up at the right stage of construction, and leave documentation the finish crew can build on.
Plan review
We review the floor plan with you and your builder, map every drop and device location, and agree on the rough-in window in the construction schedule.
Wiring design and documentation
We design the full low-voltage plan, network, cameras, audio, and conduit, and document every run so nothing is a mystery after the walls close.
Rough-in
Cable is pulled, boxed, and protected during framing, coordinated around the other trades, and photographed before drywall for the record.
Trim-out and commissioning
After finish work, we terminate, install devices, and commission the systems the wiring was planned for. The home is live before you move in.

Common questions
What do Black Hills clients ask about pre-wire & new construction?
- How much does pre-wire cost in Rapid City?
- It is priced per drop from the floor plan, so the cost follows the number of locations and the size of the home. Every project is quoted after a plan review, so the number reflects the home, not a template. The survey is free and usually takes under an hour.
- When does pre-wire happen?
- After framing and rough electrical, before insulation and drywall. We coordinate the date with the builder so it fits the schedule without holding up the next trade.
- What gets wired?
- Network drops for TVs and offices, access point locations for whole-home WiFi, camera and doorbell locations, speaker wiring, and conduit to the equipment location for anything added later.
- What if I do not know what I want yet?
- Wire for the likely locations and add conduit paths to the rest. Conduit before drywall costs almost nothing and makes every future addition a pull instead of a remodel.
- Do you work with builders directly?
- Yes. Most pre-wire is coordinated builder to sub. We work from the plans, show up on the scheduled day, and document every run for the finish crew.
- Do you come back after the home is finished?
- Yes. Trim-out and equipment installation happen once the home is done, using the documented runs from the rough-in.
