Infrastructure Services

Connected systems, planned and built with precision.

From the first survey to final handover, Short by Design helps businesses create networks that are clear, reliable and ready to use.

Services shaped around real sites.

Every project starts with the details that matter: routes, access, risk, programme, standards and how the system needs to perform.

Fixed-Line Telecoms Design

Survey and design support for fixed-line networks, building routes and MDU environments.

  • Desktop and site survey outputs
  • MDU survey and internal route design
  • Civils, riser and building interface review

Fibre Infrastructure

Fibre works for commercial, campus and telecoms environments.

  • Backbone and distribution fibre
  • Cabinet, containment and pathway planning
  • Testing, labelling and documentation

Network Cabling (LAN)

Structured LAN cabling for dependable data networks, cabinets and connected devices.

  • Cat6, Cat6A and copper data cabling
  • Cabinet builds, patching and dressing
  • Testing, labelling and outlet schedules

WiFi Networks

Wireless networks planned around coverage, capacity and the way each space is used.

  • Access point positioning and cabling
  • Switching, uplink and cabinet readiness
  • Guest, staff and operational network planning

CCTV & Access Control

Cabling and network readiness for IP cameras, door access and building security systems.

  • Camera and access point cabling routes
  • PoE, cabinet and network coordination
  • Clean handover for security installers

Audio Visual Integration

AV cabling and integration support for meeting rooms, displays and collaboration spaces.

  • Display, meeting room and AV cabling
  • Power, data and containment coordination
  • Integration with wider network infrastructure

Where the detail matters.

The right design depends on the building, the users and the systems being connected. We keep the advice practical and the handover clear.

LAN Cabling & Cabinets

We plan and install copper data cabling for workstations, wireless access points, cameras, doors, displays and network equipment.

  • Cat6 and Cat6A cabling for new or existing sites
  • Patch panels, comms cabinets and cable management
  • Testing, labelling and records for easier support

Fixed-Line & MDU Design

We support survey and design work for fixed-line telecoms, internal building routes and multi-dwelling unit environments.

  • MDU survey notes, routes and riser considerations
  • Wayleave, access and build constraint awareness
  • Practical outputs for planners, installers and clients

CCTV & Access Control Readiness

Security systems rely on good routes, power planning and network readiness. We make those foundations clear before installation.

  • Camera, reader and door controller cabling routes
  • PoE, switching and cabinet capacity checks
  • Coordination with security and facilities teams

WiFi Network Foundations

Good WiFi starts with the site, not the access point. We consider layout, density, cabling routes and future growth.

  • Access point position and cabling support
  • Office, warehouse and shared-space considerations
  • Guest, staff and operational network requirements
How We Deliver

Survey through sign-off.

The aim is simple: remove ambiguity before work starts, communicate clearly, and leave customers with a system they can trust.

Survey

We review the site, access, routes, constraints and customer outcomes.

Design

We shape the practical installation plan, materials, labour and risk controls.

Build

Work is delivered safely, neatly and in line with the agreed scope.

Handover

Testing, labelling and documentation make the installation easy to use and support.
