What network infrastructure covers
Network infrastructure in the Denver metro is the active closet: racks or wall cabinets, switches, firewalls, PoE budget for cameras and access points, patch fields, and the ISP or WAN handoff. Structured cabling and fiber are separate plant. A municipally licensed Denver general contractor coordinates the project and licensed specialty trades. Cost is project-specific and depends on port count, PoE load, and whether a new rack circuit is needed.
text
Power, cooling, and code
Switches and UPS units need line-voltage circuits. Denver adopts the 2023 National Electrical Code unamended. City and County of Denver Community Planning and Development issues electrical permits when those circuits are added. Commercial and multifamily projects can trigger electrical plan review at listed circuit thresholds. Closets also need ventilation so PoE heat does not stack.
text
Permits and who coordinates the work
Low-voltage gear alone may not need a building permit; new circuits and hardwired racks typically do. Colorado DORA regulates electrical licensing. Cities and counties license general contractors. Colorado has no statewide general contractor license. Autotelic acts as a municipally licensed Denver general contractor and coordinates licensed specialty trades for network-infrastructure scopes.
text
What buyers should prepare
Existing drop count, PoE device list, closet location, and where the ISP demarc sits.
FAQ
Common questions
Does a network closet need a Denver permit?
The switches themselves are equipment. New circuits, hardwired racks, or UPS line-voltage work typically need a CPD electrical permit.
Who handles network infrastructure permits and licensing?
A municipally licensed Denver general contractor coordinates the project and licensed specialty trades. Colorado has no statewide general contractor license.
Is this the same as structured cabling?
No. Cabling is the homeruns. Network infrastructure is the rack, switching, PoE, and WAN handoff that those cables land on.
Why does PoE budget matter?
Cameras and access points draw power from the switch. Undersized PoE or a hot closet causes drops and thermal shutdown.
What information helps define scope?
Port count, PoE devices, closet photos, ISP demarc, and city or county.

DESIGN SERVICES
Discovery & Site Analysis
Needs + preference programming, site survey, as-built documentation, feasibility.
We walk, measure, and photograph your property — existing conditions, utilities, structure, and constraints. You get the as-built documentation and feasibility read that every later decision rests on.
Learn more →Concept Design & Space Planning
Schematic design, floor plan studies, layout options.
Your scope becomes schematic floor plans you can compare side by side — circulation, daylight, adjacencies, and what each option does to the budget. Layout decisions happen on paper, where changes are cheap.
Learn more →Architectural Design & 3D Renderings
Design development, materials + finishes, photorealistic visualization.
The chosen concept resolves into materials, finishes, fixtures, and lighting — with the automation layer drawn in. Photorealistic renderings let you walk the space and adjust before anything is priced.
Learn more →Construction Documents & Permitting
Full CD sets, structural + MEP engineering coordination, permit-ready drawings.
Approved designs become coordinated architectural, structural, and MEP sheets — the set your jurisdiction permits from and trades build from. We submit, track, and answer review comments.
