Telecom Coordination
Connectivity Before Occupancy
Telecom coordination is one of the most overlooked — and most impactful — scopes in multi-family development. When carriers aren’t engaged early, infrastructure requirements aren’t coordinated with construction, and service activation isn’t managed proactively, the result is predictable: buildings that open without working internet, phone, or television services.
BrooksBTA manages the entire telecom lifecycle — from initial carrier strategy and contract negotiation through construction coordination and service activation. We serve as the single point of coordination between ownership, carriers, the GC, and low voltage subcontractors, ensuring every telecom scope is aligned with the project timeline and construction sequence.
Our independence from carrier relationships means we negotiate on your behalf — evaluating proposals based on service quality, infrastructure requirements, revenue-sharing potential, and long-term operational value rather than commission structures.
Real-World Impact
On a recent 200+ unit multi-family project in Denver, our early engagement with carriers identified a critical MPOE conflict with the mechanical room layout — three months before construction reached that phase. Without that coordination, the project would have faced a six-figure change order and a 4-6 week delay to reroute carrier infrastructure. Instead, the issue was resolved in the design phase at zero additional cost.

Our Telecom Coordination Process
Strategy & Evaluation
We assess your project's telecom needs, evaluate carrier options, and develop a strategy aligned with your ownership goals and resident expectations.
Contract Negotiation
We negotiate carrier agreements on your behalf — securing favorable terms, revenue-sharing structures, and infrastructure commitments that protect your long-term interests.
Design Integration
We coordinate MPOE locations, pathway requirements, and carrier infrastructure with your construction documents to prevent conflicts during construction.
Construction Coordination
During construction, we manage carrier access, installation scheduling, and infrastructure inspections to keep telecom scopes on track with the project timeline.
Activation & Turnover
We manage the service activation process to ensure telecom services are tested, validated, and fully operational before the first resident moves in.
Don't Wait Until Construction to Think About Telecom
The earlier we're involved, the more coordination issues we can prevent. Let's discuss your project timeline.
