Don't feel too bad. My house was supposed to be finished at the end of February. After several delays, we are slated to receive it at the end of May. Even in Japan builders over promise and under deliver.

We didn't have enough time to get into the specific mechanics of installation for every line item. It was like 95 different categories and subcategories. Just glancing at my breakout Electric is currently broken down into Lighting Allowance: $15,000 (for us to go find fans, vanity lights, pendant lights, entryway chandelier, undercounter lighting, etc), Electrician: $58,246, Security System: $10,547.
I have the full Electrician quote that includes all the ins and outs like soffit lights, can lights, garage lights, outlets, etc etc... Let me make a note and ask about the conduit.

It's the way to go. It's cheap, it'll have you a lot of headache, and leave you room to upgrade.

Oh, for sure. It is funny b/c on my day job I review construction drawings and shelter / building drawings for telecom locations and cable chases, conduit, etc is always a point of conversation. Pivot to normal life and my disconnect is like "oh okay, let's discuss one of the other 10,000 things we need to consider."

just use unfi for everything, heck even a telephone if you want it, 150$ + 10$ a month for the service - they are soon adding a subscription service for monitoring of alarms etc with a company partner to it will be like ADT, brinks or whatever.
their doorbells and cameras are your content not theirs to give to the po-po- still easy to monitor from the web/app etc. you can offload storage to gdrive/onedrive etc. Just have cat5/6 run all over by low voltage people and be done with it
-edit: a fun thing is they have intercom ring route to cellphone with automated attendant for free... i.e I can put my cellphone as a contact on the intercom, someone presses it (or make it the bell) and it calls my cellphone and robo man says "You have a call from INTERCOMENAME press # to open or 1 to talk" then you can open the door or talk to them.
I can go off for a long time on the value play of Unifi in essentially all use cases except like SUPER enterprise and maybe data centers.... i should start a consulting business to do it and actually make some money from it all.

yeah I have a whole project equipment list saved on Ubiqiti's site, going to have to refresh it here and see what's up. I'll get an excel file of this whole build sheet and go update my blog in the Home Buying thread so everyone can laugh at us.
