From whole-home Wi-Fi to smart thermostats and security cameras, today’s Knoxville homeowners expect rock-solid connectivity. The only way to guarantee that stability is a professionally designed and installed structured cabling system. CountBricks delivers end-to-end residential IT cabling Knoxville residents trust—powered by our AI estimating engine, real-time material pricing, and voice-driven field tools.
• Eliminates signal drop-offs caused by ad-hoc wiring
• Supports Gigabit Ethernet, streaming, and IoT devices on a single backbone
• Increases property value by branding the home as “tech-ready”
• Reduces future retrofit costs by installing pathways and extra capacity now
• Complies with the latest NEC and TIA residential standards
Knoxville’s housing boom combines historic remodels in Old North with new builds in Farragut. Each setting poses unique cabling challenges—plaster walls, tight crawlspaces, and rapidly evolving subdivision specs. CountBricks’ local field teams understand regional codes, neighborhood HOA requirements, and the impact of East Tennessee’s humidity on low-voltage infrastructure.
1. Instant Voice Estimates
Using the CountBricks mobile app, our project managers walk your site while speaking naturally. The AI converts that narration into a detailed takeoff, selects Category 6 cable, jacks, faceplates, racks, and conduit—all priced in real time from Knoxville distributors.
2. Blueprint Takeoffs in Minutes
Upload PDFs to CountBricks.com/blueprints and our computer-vision engine auto-detects low-voltage symbols, counts cable runs, and suggests cable tray routes. What once took hours now takes seconds.
3. Auto-Generated Client Quotes
Our system merges material costs, labor benchmarks, and local permit fees into a branded proposal ready to e-sign. Homeowners see a transparent breakdown: drops per room, patch panels, and network cabinet placement.
4. Seamless Field-to-Office Sync
Technicians scan QR-coded cable boxes that instantly update inventory in the quote. Any change order dictated on site is captured by voice and converted to an updated invoice—no paperwork lost in the truck.
1. Discovery Call: Clarify Wi-Fi coverage goals, streaming needs, and future smart-home plans.
2. Walk-Through & AI Estimate: Record measurements and obstacles via voice.
3. Design Review: Provide homeowners with rack elevations and outlet maps.
4. Rough-In: Pull cable before drywall, label both ends, and photo-document for CountBricks.com/portfolio.
5. Trim-Out: Terminate keystone jacks, test each run to 1 Gbps minimum.
6. Certification & Handover: Upload Fluke test reports to the client portal and deliver a laminated wiring schematic.
Category 6 vs. Category 6A
• Cat 6 handles 1 Gbps up to 180 ft—ideal for most rooms.
• Cat 6A delivers 10 Gbps and is shielded against Knoxville’s occasional electrical storms.
CountBricks recommends a hybrid: Cat 6A to the home office and AV rack, Cat 6 elsewhere, balancing performance and budget.
Fiber to the Rack
With multi-gig internet creeping into Knoxville suburbs, we often run a duplex multimode fiber from the exterior demarc to the structured media cabinet. Future ISP upgrades then require zero wall fishing.
• Always maintain 12-inch separation from AC power to prevent EMI.
• Use staggered drill holes in studs to avoid bunching and heat buildup.
• Label every cable at pull time—retro labeling costs twice as much.
• Leave 6-ft service loops in the attic for future relocations.
• Document everything in the CountBricks client portal for resale value.
Labor rates, attic accessibility, and basement routing all impact final pricing. CountBricks’ AI pulls Knoxville Zip-code labor tables and current copper prices to keep quotes accurate. Homeowners typically invest 2–3 % of build cost in low-voltage—money that pays dividends in streaming reliability and resale appeal.
How long does a typical install take?
A 3,000 sq ft new build averages three days: one for rough-in, one for trim-out, one for certification.
Can CountBricks upgrade existing homes?
Yes. We use minimally invasive fishing techniques and surface raceways to preserve historic finishes.
Do I really need Cat 6A?
If you plan 8K streaming, multi-gig internet, or whole-home VR, Cat 6A is future-proof. Otherwise Cat 6 suffices.

When a tech-savvy couple broke ground on a 4,200 sq ft residence in Westmoreland Heights, their wish list included 10-Gbps networking, PoE security cameras, and whole-home audio—all concealed behind custom shiplap walls. Traditional estimators projected a ten-day install. CountBricks finished in five.
• Our AI blueprint takeoff identified 68 data drops, 14 camera feeds, and a 24-port PoE switch requirement in under three minutes.
• Voice notes captured during the framing walk-through automatically added flexible conduit for future fiber pulls.
• Real-time pricing alerted us to a copper surge; we substituted locally stocked plenum Cat 6A and saved the client 11 %.
• Engage your cabling partner before slab pour to integrate sleeve placements.
• Use centralized racks to minimize run lengths and latency.
• Pair PoE lighting with UPS backup to keep security systems online during storms.
1. Predictable Schedules: AI forecasts labor hours within 3 %.
2. Fewer Change Orders: Voice documentation eliminates scope gaps.
3. Client Delight: Homeowners receive a digital wiring manual stored at CountBricks.com/portal.
