Builder New Build Pre-Wire & Fit-Off
Representative project based on completed work

Cable at frame stage, cameras at handover: keeping pace with a builder doing 40+ homes a year.

Northline Builds needed a security contractor who could work to their schedule, not the other way around. Here's the two-visit process that's kept every Merrifield estate handover on time.

The challenge

A handover date that can't move.

Northline Builds completes more than 40 homes a year across the Merrifield estate in Mickleham and the surrounding growth corridor. For a volume builder, a security contractor who can't keep pace with a tight build schedule isn't a minor inconvenience — it's a liability that shows up as a delayed handover and an unhappy new owner.

Site manager Danny R. needed a partner who could pre-wire cameras, alarm, and intercom cabling during frame stage without getting in the way of other trades, then return for a clean fit-off exactly when a home was ready for handover — not before the walls were lined, and not after the new owner already had keys.

The solution

A two-visit process, built around the trade schedule.

Rather than book against a fixed calendar date, we coordinate directly with Danny's site schedule. At frame stage, our team runs all camera, alarm, and intercom cabling before the walls are lined — timed to fit between the frame and lock-up trades. At handover, a second visit fits the cameras, alarm panel, and intercom, tests the full system, and sets up the new owner's app before they're handed the keys.

  • Cable pre-wireCameras, alarm, intercom — frame stage
  • 4–6x 4K camerasFitted at handover, scaled to floor plan
  • Alarm panel & intercomFitted and tested at handover
  • New owner app setupCompleted before keys are handed over
  • SecureCam Digital Property FileReady for the new owner from day one
Installation process

Two visits per lot, no fixed calendar date.

Instead of scheduling against the calendar, every lot gets two visits triggered by build stage: pre-wire once frame is up, fit-off once the home is ready for handover. On lots where timing allows, the handover walkthrough happens alongside the new owner's own final inspection, so they leave with a working system and a Digital Property File already set up — not a "someone will call you" promise.

The outcome
★★★★★

"We build 40+ homes a year and SecureCam is the only security contractor who's never held up a handover date. That's the whole review."
