[QUOTE="DiddyFA, post: 432122, member: 21516"] I would look around for someone to do the Cat 6 stuff. We all hate to see any trades devalued, BUT all you are asking with the Cat 6 is it is run in from each room to under the stairs or whatever. No need to ask for them to even be terminated into faceplates or anything....just marked up as to what they are and where they go. There is no reason why you could not get a separate contractor to take care of all cat 6 and home automation stuff while the build is progressing - Inform your builder of your plans and ensure proper co-operation between your Cat-6 installer and the builder so it can all happen with minimum of fuss. Maybe 1st tell them to forget the Home Automation stuff and just spec that you want deep back box's for each point such as light switches ect....and ask for a revised price which includes simply running in the cat 6 cables with no termination.
