What does this work look like in Sioux Falls?
Sioux Falls keeps building, especially on the south and east sides, and cabling is cheapest while the walls are open. We work from the plan set with the general contractor, pull Cat6 and fiber during rough-in, terminate to labeled patch panels, and test every run before we leave. For tenant improvements and older buildings downtown, we look at pathways first so the quote reflects the real building. We travel from Rapid City, so the work is scheduled against the construction calendar with materials staged ahead.
What conditions in Sioux Falls affect the install?
Sioux Falls spreads across Minnehaha and Lincoln counties, and the building stock changes block by block. Downtown along Phillips Avenue is older brick and quartzite, where a cable pathway has to be found, not assumed. The south and east sides are newer construction, with office parks, clinics, and retail still going up toward Harrisburg and Tea, and that's where getting involved before drywall saves the most. Winters are long and cold, summers are humid, and the wind across open ground is steady, so anything mounted outdoors is specified for all three. Sioux Falls is on Central time and about 350 miles east of our Rapid City base on Interstate 90, so we plan each project as a scheduled trip with the design, materials, and crew lined up before we leave.
Sioux Falls is the largest city in South Dakota and the commercial center of the eastern half of the state, built on healthcare, financial services, and steady new construction. Brink Design is based in Rapid City, and we travel to Sioux Falls for planned projects: security cameras, access control, structured cabling, WiFi, and AV for businesses and builders, plus home theater and whole-home audio for homeowners. Managed IT, Microsoft 365, and cybersecurity are supported remotely, with on-site visits scheduled when hands are needed on the equipment.

Common questions
What should you know about structured cabling in Sioux Falls?
- How much does structured cabling cost in Sioux Falls?
- It depends on drop count, run lengths, whether the building is open framing or finished, and fiber versus copper. Every project is quoted after a site survey, so the number reflects the building, not a template. The survey is free and usually takes under an hour. New construction is priced per drop from the plans.
- Cat6, Cat6A, or fiber for a Sioux Falls building?
- Cat6 covers most offices today. Cat6A is worth it for high-density WiFi access points and longer 10-gigabit runs. Fiber connects buildings, floors, and anything past copper distance limits. We spec each run for what it will carry, not the most expensive option.
- Can you run cabling in a finished building without tearing up walls?
- Yes. Retrofit routing through ceilings, chases, and existing pathways is most of our work. Where a visible run is unavoidable we use surface raceway that matches the finish.
- When should the cabling go in on a new build?
- After framing and before insulation and drywall. We coordinate the rough-in with your general contractor so the runs, conduit, and box locations match the electrical schedule, then return for trim-out and termination.
- What documentation do we get?
- Labeled patch panels and jacks, a port map, and test results for every certified termination, so any technician can service the system years later without tracing wires.
- Do you also build the network rack and closet?
- Yes. Cabling terminates into a ventilated, labeled rack with organized power and battery backup, whether we build it new or clean up an inherited closet.
- Does Brink Design have an office in Sioux Falls?
- No. Brink Design is based in Rapid City and travels to Sioux Falls for planned projects. The design, equipment, and schedule are settled ahead so the install happens in one organized visit, and systems are set up for remote support afterward.
