For General Contractors & Construction Professionals
Complete Fire, Security, Cabling & More.
We deliver comprehensive bids and engineered execution for your core low-voltage scopes.
As a Houston-based partner, we simplify low-voltage scopes for General Contractors. We handle the engineering, permitting, and installation for your core systems—Fire Alarm, Security, and Structured Cabling. Whether the project is in Southeast Texas or beyond, our teams ensure your scope is delivered to code, on schedule, and ready for a smooth handoff.
Scope & Capabilities
Delivering the critical systems for your bid package with a single point of accountability.
We consolidate the engineering, installation, and commissioning of your low-voltage requirements into a single, managed workflow. By partnering with DSC, you eliminate scope gaps between trades and ensure every system—from fire alarms to fiber optics—is installed to code and ready for the Certificate of Occupancy.
Core Building Services
Fire, Security, & Data Infrastructure
We install the critical low-voltage infrastructure required for your project’s Certificate of Occupancy. From end-to-end commercial fire alarm and life safety systems to structured cabling, video surveillance, and access control, we execute the highest-volume scopes in your bid package with a single, unified team.
Project Execution
Engineering, Permitting, & Closeout
We provide more than labor; we provide project assurance. Our internal team handles engineering, plan reviews, and AHJ permitting requirements before deployment. During construction, we manage accurate submittals and coordinate with other trades, ensuring a streamlined path to final testing, commissioning, and owner handoff.
Specialty Systems
BDA, Intrusion, & Communications
Beyond the core scope, we engineer solutions for specific code requirements and operational needs. We are certified to design and install Bi-Directional Amplifiers (BDA) for public safety radio coverage, as well as intrusion detection perimeters, commercial intercoms, and distributed audio systems for complex facility environments.
From Bid Day to Day Two Support
We reduce project risk through transparent communication and a seamless transition to the building owner.
-
Pre-Construction & Engineering
We don’t just price the drawings; we validate them. Our in-house engineering team reviews plans for code compliance and constructibility before boots hit the ground, preventing change orders and schedule delays.
-
Installation & Coordination
Our technicians understand active construction environments. We coordinate with other trades to keep the critical path open, maintaining strict safety standards and providing real-time progress updates to your project management team.
-
Lifecycle Maintenance
The project doesn’t end at the Certificate of Occupancy. We provide the end user with a seamless transition to "Day Two" support, offering ongoing inspections, alarm monitoring, and preventative maintenance. This ensures the systems we install remain compliant long after you have demobilized.
Serving Construction Professionals
Construction is a team effort, and low-voltage integration requires seamless coordination across multiple disciplines. We align our workflow with the specific needs of the construction team, ensuring that whether you are managing the bid, installing the conduit, or designing the system, you have a partner who understands the critical path.
We simplify the buyout process by consolidating fire, security, and structured cabling into a single, manageable contract. Instead of juggling three different sub-contractors, you get one project manager and one point of accountability. We focus on closing scope gaps, meeting safety requirements, and delivering the documentation you need for a smooth turnover.
We serve as your specialized low-voltage partner for "parts and smarts." While your team handles the high-voltage infrastructure and conduit, our technicians handle the technical device installation, termination, programming, and testing. We respect your client relationships and integrate silently into your team to deliver a fully compliant system.
We provide the practical field expertise necessary to validate your designs. By collaborating during the pre-construction phase, we review plans for constructability and local code compliance, ensuring your specifications are accurate before they go out for bid. This proactive approach minimizes RFI traffic and protects the integrity of your design.
