Telecom Integration for Developers and Superintendents: Ensuring Timely Certification

In the fast-paced world of commercial and multifamily new builds, securing essential telecom infrastructure is a critical component of meeting project deadlines and achieving compliance. Developers and superintendents often find themselves navigating the complex landscape of telecom integration, where traditional phone and cable companies can introduce delays and uncertainty. Access agreements, permit holdups, and underperformance from these providers can jeopardize the successful acquisition of a temporary Certificate of Occupancy (TCO).

The Challenge of Traditional Telecom Integration For developers and superintendents, ensuring that phone lines, internet, and fire life safety systems are properly installed is a top priority. These systems are vital for the safety and functionality of the building, and their timely installation is essential for passing the TCO walkout. However, reliance on traditional telecom providers can complicate this process. Often, these providers require lengthy preparation periods, including access agreements and extensive permitting, which can delay installation and disrupt project timelines.

Furthermore, developers may not have full control over the coordination with telecom providers, leading to potential gaps in communication and planning. These challenges can result in critical infrastructure being overlooked or delayed, creating significant risks for project completion and compliance.
