About this trade
Low-voltage and security work used to mean three separate phone calls — one for structured cabling, one for access control, one for CCTV. Most commercial subs in Calgary now cover the full stack, but finding the ones who can sequence cleanly with electrical and ceiling installs takes work.
Syndex narrows the list to verified crews currently available. WCB on file, manually reviewed, project work only.
Common project types

CCTV / video surveillance
IP camera installs, NVR integration, monitor walls, parkade and exterior coverage.

What to know when hiring
Four things GCs check before they sign.
BICSI vs electrical: who pulls what
Low-voltage permits are separate from electrical permits in Calgary. Confirm the sub knows the scope split and isn't waiting on the electrician to pull cable.
Pre-wire before drywall closes
Cabling runs need to be in the wall before insulation and drywall. Schedule the low-voltage sub the day after framing, not after paint.
Confirm platform certifications
Most access control and camera platforms require certified installers for warranty. Ask which manufacturers they're certified by.
Coordinate with the fire alarm vendor
If the building has an existing fire alarm system, any new device adds need ULC-verified programming. Get the fire alarm contact in the first meeting.
