What documentation do we get at the end of a Santa Monica Ubiquiti UniFi Installation install?+
Every Santa Monica 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.
How long does a typical Ubiquiti UniFi Installation project take in Santa Monica?+
Timelines depend on drop count, pathway complexity, and after-hours restrictions. A small Santa Monica tenant improvement of 20–40 drops usually completes in 2–5 working days. Larger Los Angeles County projects with backbone fiber, MDF/IDF buildouts, and multiple floors typically run 2–6 weeks. We publish a per-phase schedule with the quote so your GC and IT team can coordinate cutover.
Do you support multi-site rollouts anchored in Santa Monica?+
Yes. Many of our Santa Monica-based clients scale Ubiquiti UniFi Installation 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 Santa Monica or Chicago.
Do you coordinate Ubiquiti UniFi Installation with general contractors and property managers in Santa Monica?+
Yes. Almost every Santa Monica project we run is coordinated with a GC, architect, MEP engineer, or building management team. Our PMs attend OAC meetings, submit shop drawings and rack elevations, coordinate ceiling access windows with other trades, and honor building rules for freight elevator use, badge access, and after-hours work.
How much does a full UniFi deployment cost?+
A typical mid-size office (20,000 sq ft, 12 APs, 3 switches, gateway, 15 cameras, 8 access-control doors) runs $30-50k hardware plus $25-40k installation depending on cabling scope.
Do I need a dedicated NVR for cameras?+
Depends on camera count and retention. Small deployments (under 10 cameras) run on a Cloud Key Gen2 Plus. Larger deployments use a Network Video Recorder (NVR Pro) with RAID storage sized to camera count and retention.
What specific permits are required for commercial cabling work in Santa Monica?+
For most commercial cabling projects in Santa Monica, a low-voltage electrical permit is required from the City of Santa Monica Planning and Community Development Department, specifically through their Building and Safety Division. This applies to new installations, significant upgrades, and tenant improvements. Larger-scale projects might also involve plan reviews and coordination with other departments, depending on the scope and location within the city.
