How We Do Pricing & Bidding For Structured Cabling Work 2020
• Structured Cabling Wor... - วิทยาศาสตร์และเทคโนโลยี
Your kid seems like he was having a nice time looking around at everything.
I went out with my dad to his work on occasions back when I was a kid, Intel, it was great looking around at what was going on, so much happening. Lots of great memories, thanks for bringing them back to me.
:) peace dude
I would love to know more about how the labeling is done, tracked and organized...Great work!
Did the customer specify ANSI/TIA-606-C labeling requirements?
I typically measure the whip from the tip of my finger to my elbow then put on the label. Also leave the customer the "wire list" so they know what cable is labeled for what. For a commercial setting such as that there are three copies, one in our database, one goes to the IT manager and one goes in the IT Closet/Server Room. However the company I work for mostly does Residential and if we do Commercial we don't do much in Networking but we do Fire, Burg, Access Control and CCTV so we don't bother with ANSI/TIA-606-C Labeling.
2nd'ing this ask, would be great if Corey could elaborate on the labelling.
Your lad jumping our from round the corner at 3:13 lol
Like a scene from the Shining.
As a very small tech business i'm learning a lot with these little vids on your jobs and work etc, they're great, keep it up!
After doing structured cabling for 8+ years I'll always quote Panduit Mini-Com's (unless the customer request something specific). I know they are expensive, but I can terminate a cable twice as fast so labor is cut down. I know some places like to separate data, cameras, aps, but I found that can bite you in the ass if you need to add a slew of cables down the road. Then your positioning can get all screwed up. As long as everything is properly labeled I don't differentiate them in the panels. The way you can easily tell if they are APs, cameras, etc is by the color of the patch cable.
So damn true about the adding later.
Pre-planning is great, until the customer changes everything at the last moment and mixes in video/conference rooms into switches that were supposed to be just WAP or just voice etc.. then they bridge networks together causing link flapping and spanning tree issues. And you the cabling and MSP are somehow at fault...
3:12 woah! :)
As a long time Systems Engineer, I have done all the network design/install/termination for many businesses and I can tell you guys are doing it in the right way. Love doing that work, but I feel my next project plan and design I will hire other people for running the wires for me.
I could do with a "snap cab" for the wife :-)
Definitely would be cool to see more before, during and after process. Even just some short visual updates.
I like that you're pointing out the necessity to keep track of what's in scope, what's out of scope and the importance of keeping the customer informed. So many miss these crucial activities!
Just another great video! Thanks. I would like to know your labelling methodology and tools. Do you follow some particular standard?
Looks like your company does great work. Thanks for the behind the scenes, looking forward to more if you can make them.
Those little rooms are called a number of things, but we refer to them as privacy booths. They are for people who don't necessarily have a dedicated office space or cube to be able to step into and make a conference call, whether they be visitors, contractors, or remote employees who needed to come into the office. That's why they have separate ventilation and a white noise generator. No more squatting in conference rooms! :)
You can also get them with the fancy privacy glass that becomes opaque with the press of a button.
Wow Really appreciate the on site video , make sure you thank your customer. Couple questions comes up ... are you guys running the Ethernet from end point to IDF or MDC, or is it done by the GC's Sparkies (electicians) and you guys do the termination only ? . Would be nice to see how it looks in the false ceiling. i am kinda my picky about that .... really hate if the cables are not in trays or cable hooks. Not because its a false ceiling it as to look like crap. Thanks for the great videos keep up the great work
The hardest part for me is the finale punch and making the service loop look great .
Great vid as usual, I’m curious how do you guys prefer to have your service loops for the wires dropping into the racks, is that in the ceiling or do you the loop inside the rack?
I love these type of videos. Thanks for sharing. Stay Safe.
Will your team install 4 inch conduit pipes from the ceiling above the ladder rack for the cables. Please share the finished rack.
You core drill thru the cement floor,with a giant water cooled diamond bit,looks like a moster hole saw. I used ro be the guy catching the cores, with a 5 gallon bucket on the first floor! Its a little scary having a spinning concrete core and hot water flying at your head.
We had a company Corning Holes in our suite for the office above and when I came in the next day my server rack was filled with water and cement goo.
everything was still "working" but we did file an insurance claim and got paid for everything.
How about CAD drawings for building layouts, and s/w cable management/monitoring,
handover to building services, certificate of quality install tested cabling, build regulations/code of cabling such as conduits and through wall engineering standards, the fire risks of POE cables bundled, cabling fire suppression, fiber/other cabling and inter building connectivity, as immediate thoughts for review buddy, thanks?
HI, very interesting installation. Do you know what brand of network equipment are they going to use? Thanks for your dedication and videos. Thanks! Carlos from Argentina.
Do you provide “discounts” to clients when they reach a certain number of drops?
And/or do you tend to charge 1 drop even though you are running 2 - 3 cables for that same location?
What's a phone booth? LOL hey maybe it was a good idea. The Bell system was quite ingenious only digging through the archives do you really see how far stretching it was.
How many spools of cable (1000 feet) were used? I see lots of cable...
@Tom, can you do a follow up on this job. One of the few you can acctualy film. Tks. (from Brazil) :)
Do you prefer keystones or a patch panel in the MDF
Getting the obvious comment out the way: Your son is so your son, great to see him, but also you gently nudging him out of camera shot, hehe. I'm in construction and not your industry, interesting all the same 👍
@Nico H Don't spend much time around kids huh?
I wouldn't bother him being in the video, it's great that he can go with Tom on the journey!
The nudge made me chuckle. Your boy reminds me of my oldest son. Great to see you including him in what you do. I wish kids had more opportunity to experience careers at a young age.
What is the reason you use punch down connections instead of modular jack, and a patch panel?
Where i work we always use modular jacks
There's no reason not to use keystones. People who manually punch down are usually just stuck in their old ways.
Labelling wire Chart /identification chart you paste near the racks..I'll like to know that..pls share the sample XLS file.
Are you testing the wiring as you punch them in? Must be a real pain if a drop has a break......
I always find structured cabling installs interesting to watch going in... but I'd never want to install it myself. The guys we hire in every once and awhile earn their money!
Is that a Lorex camera behind you towards the end of the video?
Love your video! Question??? How do you get contracts?
th-cam.com/video/iVwhwdR9CoA/w-d-xo.html
Nice progress Tom, curious as to what type of label maker and labels does Cory use?
Can recommend Dymo Rhino self-laminating labels
Curious if you have ever thought about moving to keystone patch panels instead of the traditional patch?
He talked about it before. I believe it was a no due to reliability and taking more space.
@@cakearmy_maxgaming6346 lol that's such a boomer response. Never heard of a keystone going bad. And how does it take "more" space? Lol
What is that mic you are using?
Gday, is your company also doing the local network? Love how diverse your business is, great work team.
Their internal IT team is responsible for that
Tom, I am so sorry as you can't miss that he is your son.
But in regards to the job, it looks like it's going great and it's great to know how it's going.
Do you charge the same price for each cable to the same wall plate? Or is there a discount per cable?
per cable
on bigger projects we would leave a print in the server room which showed the location and cable number of each drop. Still had the document SS , but the IT person could just look at the print and know what to patch. Other comments : Modular Patch Panels+ Pre-Printed sheets of wrap around cable labels+
I didn't know that I wanted a snap cab
Its the “Cone Of Silence” from the old Get Smart TV show. Just nicer and roomier...
For Kids...
With games --and snax.
With a LOCK and key__In my hand not his..
I once saw a two domes cone-of-silence setup over a receptionist station at a dentist's office. Unfortunately, the girl was too you to get the joke!
P. Wingert Oh yeah - got it. 👍🏼
Now every employee needs a shoephone.

@@Mark_The_Mayven This would be perfect for people who need to vent and relieve stress! Go in pull down the shades and scream and rant till you feel better and come out with a smile and be happy!
Congratulations!
If you keep it clean... much better.
@ 02:57 - looks like it is a SnapCab workspace - workspace.snapcab.com/
I'm going to lay some cable.
Trying to find the price on one of those Snapcab`s is like trying to find the meaning of life on the internet.
What are those things on the collars of the shirts?
Wireless mics. I wasn't familiar with the brand so had to look it up. I can't say for sure, but I think it's something like this: www.saramonic.com/product/blink500-b2txtxrx/
@@aaronboggs5799 Yep, this is best for videos like this instead of using the mics on the cameras, especially if you turn away from the camera and talk!
Nice Shirt Tom!
Yes. L1 fans approve. ;-)
Dear lord, zombie at 3:15.
I counting 10 errors in cabling and wireless
Miss the old days of going to an office and working...
Time to work 🙄👍🍺
that tesla in the background security camera. fire
3:12 Zombie Attack ?????
I’m a Systems/Network Engineer and one thing I won’t do is cabling, unless it’s personal.
Same here. I design the network racks and cable layouts. I let the contractor do the cabling, patching and terminations.
Agreed. I've got a very trusted structured wiring partner that I call on for this type of work.
That`s easy to speak when you stay employed during the pandemic
Please tell me he hasn't dressed the cables yet before terminating them on the patchpanels 😧
I’m with you, always dress down your cables on the ladder rack before terminating on the patch panels.
Is this a call center or some kinda software company.
i'd like to see what switches and router is put in
Knowing them, there may be a high chance that it is Ubiquity, unless the company that it is installing it for needs/uses other equipment! Cisco would be the second guess as it is another popular option, however we do not know what company this is for and how big they are! This may be a smaller company and this is their only location!
Question: Who the hell is building a cube farm in 2020 in the middle of a pandemic?
This is in Canada and their #'s aren't as bad as the USA!
People that know their workers won't be in for while?
God working with sub-floor sucks.
dumping your son for his waffle no wonder he walked off i would have gone home
Hi Mr. Lawrence, love your vids -- if you want a great silent booth we specialize in that and they are affordable and higher quality than what you'll typically find online. Feel free to email Pierce@PARSOUND.com to learn more
This is great work, very well organised and professional! However, the office is a disaster - a company, which still builds offices with cubicles is so 70s & 80s that I would NEVER work for such a company, the way they build up the office space is the way they understand leadership. More open space, open work spaces, more colours, less walls and yes, for quiet work these "phone-booths" are quite usual - they are in most new offices around. Great work. terrible office space ;)
Open office concepts are trash. Provide cubicles and meeting rooms. Then if you have the money some open spaces.
@@420isMySweetHoney I don't work in cubicles - feeling like a caged animal ...
