A fitout's data package succeeds on timing: rough-in when the frames are open, final fix when the paint's dry, certified before practical completion — and never, ever the trade that holds up the plasterers. We've cabled Brisbane fitouts for fifteen years, and the builders we work with keep calling back. That's the whole pitch.

Builders, PMs, and tenants alike — a floor plan and a desk count gets you a fixed per-point price and a program that fits yours. Prefer to talk? Call 0412 853 618. Early beats urgent, every time.
In a fitout program, the data cabling threads through everyone else's work: in the walls before the plasterers, above the grid before the ceiling closes, into the floor before the screed, and finished before the furniture contractor needs the floor clear. Get the sequencing right and the data package is invisible; get it wrong and it's the trade the whole site is waiting on.
Unified Network Solutions delivers office fitout cabling across Brisbane and South East Queensland the way builders need it delivered: priced fixed from the drawings, present at rough-in and final fix exactly when the program says, coordinated with the electrical contractor on shared pathways, and certified with a handover pack ready for practical completion. The scope runs end to end — workstation data, floor boxes, meeting rooms, the comms room build, ceiling-level WiFi cabling, and NBN coordination — under one ACMA Open Cabler registration (#42489) and one accountable phone number.
Office fitout cabling is a team sport played on someone else's schedule, and after fifteen years of programs we play it properly: pricing from drawings without needing three site walks, turning up to the program's windows rather than our convenience, and coordinating containment and pathways with the electrical contractor so the ceiling space doesn't become a turf war.
For builders and PMs, the practical promises: variations priced same-day so the paper trail keeps moving, penetrations and fire-stopping done to spec and photographed, site inductions and SWMS handled without prompting, and certification documents ready when the PC pack is assembled — not chased for three weeks after.
For electrical contractors, we're the data subcontractor who makes you look good: registered for the comms scope you can't self-perform, tidy in shared containment, and invisible in the client relationship if that's how you'd like it — white-label is standing policy.
Open-plan layouts put the desks in the middle of the room and the data in the middle of the slab decisions. The earlier this is planned, the cleaner every desk lands.
Floor boxes, planned early. Power and data rising through the slab to workstation clusters and boardroom tables — needing core drills or screed planning that must be locked before the concrete program closes. This single deadline is why the data design belongs in the fitout's first fortnight.
Workstation drops, done neatly. Ceiling-fed umbilicals and desk-cluster cabling where floor boxes aren't viable — engineered and dressed, not dangled. Every desk position from the furniture plan gets its data before the furniture exists.
Meeting rooms, futured. Boardroom tables with clean power and data, display positions cabled for AV, and spare capacity at the lectern wall — because meeting room tech changes faster than fitouts recur.
Plenty of Brisbane tenancies fit out in stages — half the floor now, the rest as headcount justifies it — and staged fitout cabling rewards exactly one thing: thinking about stage three during stage one. Staged fitout cabling done well means designing once and building incrementally: the comms cabinet, backbone, and pathways sized for the whole floor in stage one, so every later stage is an extension rather than a renovation.
The economics are compelling: conduit and cabinet capacity installed during stage one's open ceilings cost a fraction of retrofitting them through stage two's finished ones. We design the full-floor layout up front (a small exercise), then deliver each stage against it as the business grows — same labelling convention, same documentation, one coherent network at every step.
It pairs naturally with a network design engagement when the staging is complex — the drawings become the roadmap every stage builds from.
The fitout program has five moments that belong to the data package. Miss one and the cost of that item roughly triples; hit all five and the cabling is invisible.
Data points, AP positions, floor boxes, and the comms room location decided alongside the electrical layout — when every decision is free.
Core drills and floor box positions locked before the concrete program closes — the one deadline that genuinely cannot slip.
Cable through open frames and ceilings while the walls are skeletons — the cheapest metres of cable that will ever be pulled in that building.
Plates, terminations, the cabinet build, and AP mounting after paint — clean work in finished spaces, scheduled behind the wet trades.
Every run tested, the handover pack assembled, and the data scope signed off inside practical completion — not trailing it by a month.
An office that works the morning the furniture lands — and a builder who saves your number for the next one. That's fitout cabling done right.
Everything between the lease signing and the first working morning, from the data side.
Every desk position from the furniture plan cabled, terminated, and certified — Cat6 or Cat6a per the spec, labelled to one convention.
The cabinet sized and built, panels terminated, switching and UPS installed — the tenancy's network heart, finished before move-in.
AP positions designed from the floor plan, cabled at ceiling level during rough-in, configured at final fix — coverage that was never an afterthought.
The carrier service ordered against real lead times and landed in the comms room — the internal NBN works done before activation day.
Displays, conference gear, and boardroom tables cabled during the build — the AV integrator arrives to pathways that already exist.
Certification results, point schedules, as-builts, and photos — delivered at PC, ready for your IT provider to commission same-day.
Floor plan and desk count in, fixed per-point pricing out — with the floor box and AP decisions flagged early enough to matter.
Cable through open frames and ceilings at the builder's window — pathways coordinated with the sparkies, penetrations fire-stopped to spec.
Plates on, panels terminated, cabinet built, WiFi mounted — the visible trades' work finished cleanly behind the painters.
Every run Fluke-tested, the pack assembled for practical completion, and the IT provider briefed — move-in day works.
Fitout reputation is binary: you're either the trade they call next time, or you're not.
Fifteen years of rough-ins and final fixes hit on time — the data trade that's never the reason the plasterers stood around.
Data, comms room, WiFi, NBN, and AV cabling under one ACMA registration (#42489) — no seam between five subcontractors for things to vanish into.
Certifications, as-builts, and the PC pack delivered without chasing — because the handover is part of the job, not a favour.
“UNS handled all the network side of our fitout — cabling, WiFi, the rack. The bit that stood out for me was how well they worked in with the builder and the sparky. No finger-pointing, no delays blamed on each other. We walked in on day one and everything just worked.”
Office fitout cabling is priced per data point — typically $150–$250 per point installed, terminated, tested, and certified during a fitout, with volume rates above twenty points. A forty-point fitout with comms cabinet and WiFi usually lands $8,000–$15,000 plus hardware, depending on pathways and finishes. Fixed-price quotes from your floor plan — call Chris on 0412 853 618.
When the electrical layout is being drawn — before walls close, ideally before the builder prices the job. Data points cost least at rough-in (cable through open frames), AP and floor box positions need slab and ceiling decisions made early, and the comms room needs power and ventilation designed in. Cablers engaged after plasterboard quote retrofit prices for the same outcome.
Constantly — most fitout work arrives through builders, PMs, and electrical contractors. We price from drawings, hit rough-in and final-fix windows in the program, attend site meetings when wanted, coordinate pathways with the sparkies, and certify everything for the handover pack. The data package delivered like a trade that's done this before — because we have, for fifteen years.
Floor boxes bring power and data up through the slab to desks that don't touch a wall — the clean solution for open-plan workstation clusters and boardroom tables. They need slab core-drilling or screed planning early in the program, which is exactly why the data design belongs in the fitout's first weeks. Done right, every desk gets data without a single cable crossing the carpet.
Yes — staged fitouts are normal for growing tenancies. We design the full layout once (backbone, cabinet, pathways sized for the whole floor), then cable zones as each stage builds out. The trick is the first stage carrying the infrastructure for the rest — conduit, cabinet capacity, and switch headroom — so stages two and three are extensions, not rebuilds.
It should, and ours does. The fitout package covers the lot: workstation and meeting room data, the comms cabinet built and terminated, WiFi access points designed from the floor plan and cabled at ceiling level, NBN coordination, and the documentation handed to your IT provider before move-in. One contractor for the whole data scope means no seams for things to fall through.
Certification results for every run (Fluke DSX), a labelled point schedule matching outlets to panel ports, as-built drawings showing what was actually installed, and photos. Your IT provider can patch and commission the same day — and the building's records gain a tenancy that's actually documented, which your make-good future self will thank you for.
We service Brisbane CBD, North Brisbane, South Brisbane, Gold Coast, Sunshine Coast, Ipswich, Logan, Moreton Bay, Redlands, and the wider South East Queensland region. For larger projects, we can service regional Queensland by arrangement.
Sometimes — and testing tells us when. Existing runs that pass certification get reused where the new layout allows, which can cut the data package noticeably. Runs that fail, or that land nowhere near the new desks, get replaced. We test before quoting so the reuse number in your price is real, not optimistic — and the make-good clause of the previous lease sometimes decides the matter for everyone.
Whichever the project prefers. Under the builder, we're a coordinated subcontractor inside their program and their paperwork. Direct to the tenant, we coordinate with the builder as your nominated contractor — common when the tenant wants control of the network decisions. Both work; the only bad version is nobody owning it, which is how data scopes end up forgotten until week one in the new office.
Tenant fitout data cabling, commercial fitout packages, and workstation cabling across Brisbane CBD and metro, Logan, Ipswich, Redlands, Moreton Bay, the Gold Coast, and the Sunshine Coast — CBD tower tenancies, suburban office parks, and the staged buildouts in between. Builders get a trade that respects the program; tenants get an office that works on day one; electrical contractors get a registered comms partner who stays in their lane; and everyone gets the paperwork without asking twice. The fitout cabling package quoted from drawings, delivered to the build, certified at completion — that's the whole offer, and it hasn't needed changing in fifteen years. Every office fitout deserves a network that opens with the doors — and an office fitout cabler who answers the phone after handover.
Send the floor plan and the program — we'll price the data package fixed, slot into the build, and hand over a tenancy that works the morning the furniture arrives.
