From CAD drawings at design stage through to network installation, commissioning and handover — Route B is the technology partner property developers trust to deliver infrastructure that's ready on day one.
When IT infrastructure is specified after design has locked in, costly remedial works are inevitable — conduit routes, comms rooms and cable risers need planning from the start. Involving an IT specialist after RIBA Stage 3 means working around decisions that should have been made with IT in mind. The cost of retrofitting containment through a finished ceiling is many times that of doing it right during construction.
Poorly coordinated IT handovers create snagging lists, delays to occupation and disputes between contractors, developers and tenants. IT commissioning sits at the end of the construction programme precisely when programme pressure is highest. Without an experienced IT contractor managing the handover, defects get missed, certification doesn't happen and the building can't be occupied on the agreed date.
Without accurate as-built drawings and commissioning records, future maintenance, extensions and compliance audits become unnecessarily expensive. Buildings change hands, facilities managers change and tenants have specific fit-out requirements. Without accurate IT as-built documentation, every future change to the building's IT infrastructure starts with expensive survey work rather than a clean set of drawings.
Route B provides IT infrastructure services across the full development lifecycle — from early design through to building handover and ongoing managed support.
Accurate IT infrastructure drawings from design stage through to as-built documentation — produced to industry standards and coordinated with your architect and M&E consultants.

Working with your architects and M&E consultants from RIBA Stage 2 to specify comms room locations, containment routes, riser capacity and active equipment — ensuring IT infrastructure integrates cleanly into the wider building design. Route B produces CAD drawings at each RIBA stage, attends design team meetings and coordinates with M&E engineers on power, cooling and containment. Getting IT right at design stage avoids the expensive remedial work that occurs when infrastructure is specified too late in the programme.
Delivering structured cabling, network infrastructure and wireless for office fit-outs, hotel refurbishments and commercial conversions — coordinated with your principal contractor to meet programme milestones. Route B works as an IT subcontractor on fit-out projects of all sizes, taking responsibility for the complete IT package from first fix cabling through to active equipment configuration and handover documentation. We understand construction programmes and manage our work to avoid delaying other trades.
Managing the complete IT handover process for new developments — testing, certifying, documenting and signing off all active and passive infrastructure before keys are handed to the occupier. Route B produces the commissioning documentation that building control, building warranties and tenant fit-out requirements demand. Every cable is tested, every active port is configured and everything is documented in the as-built package that stays with the building for its lifetime.
Early engagement means containment routes, riser capacity and comms room locations are built in from the start.
Complete documentation produced to recognised standards and included in the building handover package.
One point of contact and one line of accountability throughout the project lifecycle.
Every installation is tested with calibrated equipment and certified to ISO/IEC and TIA standards.
Accurate records that make every future change to the building's IT infrastructure faster and cheaper.
Landlords who can demonstrate enterprise-grade connectivity have a genuine commercial advantage.
Get Route B involved early — the earlier we engage, the more we can save you. We'll work alongside your design team from RIBA Stage 2 through to building handover.
