Future proof installation means an empty 1 1/2 EMT to all locations. Dont forget only 2 90's and 2' sweep radius.....
I think of the "whole lotta wire" sale on most jobs. It consists of (3)cat 5e, and 1 RG-6Q at all loc's, one each room. This Phone, Network, Spare and TV. I used to think it was total over-kill. But soon realized that if it's there, they look for reasons to use it. I have been thinking of adding another RG-6Q.
AV wiring is seperate.... Design as a system, when the owner sells, maybe they should be nice enough to sell the equipment with the house, as the wiring is specialized to the equipment other than general "Whole house audio", which should also be left behind in the same way you don't take your water heater....
Automation might as well be left behind too....
rowdyrudy, your system of wiring is more than most people would even think of, or use. But I wouldn't try to make it a standard... It might just be barely adequate for your ever- expanding needs. Most poeple are happy with one TV, and a handfull of phones, and point-to-point networking. A moderate amount of wire allows them to move them around a bit. Its a delicate balance.
Many people dont even own a computer, never-mind would they access one to start the coffee maker.
