Technology planning for hotel construction

Low Voltage and Technology Planning for New-Build Hotels

JET helps ownership turn early plans into an accountable infrastructure scope, technology budget, procurement schedule, and opening-ready delivery plan.

Opening target Work backward from Day 1.

Carrier lead times, field readiness, vendor approvals, installation, testing, and turnover need one decision schedule.

Technology belongs on the construction schedule

Bring JET in before the bid set feels final.

Low Voltage and hotel technology are often reviewed as separate vendor packages even though they share rooms, pathways, power, carrier access, and opening milestones.

JET connects those decisions while ownership can still change the plan deliberately.

Illustrative sequence. Actual timing follows the flag, design stage, carrier availability, construction schedule, and selected systems.

A plans-based review

Four checkpoints before procurement begins

The review follows the hotel's drawings, flag, room mix, technology selections, site conditions, and project schedule.

  1. 01

    Guestrooms

    Confirm how standard, accessible, suite, connecting, and specialty room types change Low Voltage counts and locations.

    Output: room-type assumptions
  2. 02

    Public and Back-of-House

    Account for access points, cameras, phones, TVs, workstations, AV, staff systems, and specialty spaces.

    Output: area-by-area scope
  3. 03

    Backbone and Equipment Rooms

    Coordinate MDF, IDF, riser, pathway, power, cooling, rack, fiber, and carrier-entry requirements.

    Output: infrastructure strategy
  4. 04

    Schedule and Procurement

    Identify approvals, long-lead services, vendor milestones, trade dependencies, and opening-critical decisions.

    Output: decision schedule
Owner control set

The documents ownership can make decisions from

Each document answers a different control question and stays connected to the same hotel project.

Sheet 01 / Cost

IT Budget

Project CAPEX, OPEX, assumptions, allowances, and decision status.

Sheet 02 / Scope

Markups and Take-Offs

Room types, public areas, backbone, counts, pathways, and open questions.

Sheet 03 / Commercial

RFP and Bid Matrix

Normalized proposals, exclusions, alternates, terms, and recommendations.

Sheet 04 / Timing

Gantt and Invoice Schedule

Lead times, dependencies, installation, payments, approvals, and opening milestones.

One project view

Three roles, stated clearly

Deliver

Low Voltage Infrastructure

Panduit-certified cabling delivered in house, from scope and budget through testing and turnover.

Carrier Services

Applicable internet, voice, and data options researched, compared, ordered, tracked, and escalated.

Connectivity services
Procure + manage

Hotel Technology Systems

Selected Wi-Fi, PBX, TV, CCTV, safety, AV, DAS, EV charging, and related scopes coordinated through opening.

Technology scopes
From contract through opening day

A clearer owner experience across multiple scopes

"Normally I'd be fielding calls from three or four salespeople per scope and trying to compare quotes that never line up. JET did all of that for us—vetted the options, brought me the shortlist, and then owned our phone system, fiber internet, and EV charging from contract to opening day on our Aiken dual brand. I've already sent him to other owners."

Bring JET Into the New-Build Plan

Share the hotel, room count, location, drawing stage, and target opening. JET will follow up with the right questions and a secure way to review project documents.

  • Hotel flag, room count, location, and target opening
  • Current design, bid, construction, or recovery stage
  • Known Low Voltage and technology scope decisions
  • Existing plans, budgets, bids, or vendor commitments
