Is Wireless Site Surveys in Martinez a permitted trade under the county?+
Low-voltage installation in Martinez falls under California C-7 and C-10 contractor scope and, depending on scope, may require Contra Costa County building or electrical permits — especially for conduit rough-in, penetrations, and rated-wall firestopping. Access Cabling pulls permits when required and handles inspections directly with the AHJ.
What documentation do we get at the end of a Martinez Wireless Site Surveys install?+
Every Martinez project closes with Fluke DSX (or OTDR for fiber) certification reports for every port, a TIA-606-B labeled patch schedule, redlined as-built drawings, rack elevations, warranty registration, and a MAC-ready cabling database. Your IT team can pick it up cold on day one.
Do you support multi-site rollouts anchored in Martinez?+
Yes. Many of our Martinez-based clients scale Wireless Site Surveys to additional sites across California and nationally. A single PM standardizes drawings, materials, testing thresholds, and closeout format across every location, so IT sees identical documentation whether the site is in Martinez or Chicago.
Who pulls the permits for wireless site surveys in Martinez?+
We do, when the scope requires it. Depending on conduit rough-in, rated-wall penetrations, and firestopping, Martinez work may need a Contra Costa County building or electrical permit. Access Cabling submits under our own C-7 / C-10 license (CSLB 992009) and meets the inspector on site, so your GC isn't chasing the AHJ.
Have you worked on buildings near Contra Costa County Seat?+
Yes — the Contra Costa County Seat area is one of the Martinez submarkets we work in most. Older shells there often mean shared plenum, limited riser capacity, and strict building-management access rules, all of which shape how we route pathways for wireless site surveys. We walk the site before quoting so those Contra Costa County realities are priced in, not discovered mid-install.
How fast can a Martinez crew get on site?+
Our nearest Bay Area office dispatches into Martinez daily, so survey visits are typically within one to two business days and emergency service calls are same-day where crew availability allows. Because we're already working across Contra Costa County, we're not billing travel from out of the area for wireless site surveys.
How much does a wireless survey cost?+
Predictive design of a 20,000 sq ft space: $2,000-$4,000. On-site survey with AP-on-a-stick and spectrum analysis: $3,500-$8,000 depending on size and complexity. Post-install validation of a delivered install: $1,500-$3,500. Credited toward install cost if we do the deployment.
Do you survey warehouses with tall racking?+
Yes — this is one of our specialties. Warehouse surveys use directional AP-on-a-stick, walk the aisles fully loaded and empty, and account for metal shelving's massive impact on 5 GHz propagation. Report typically includes multiple AP placement scenarios.
