Public Q&A

Can a commercial cabling or CCTV project be quoted from photos alone?

Technology Site Surveys and Accurate Quoting · 2026-05-13

Photos can help with an early discussion, but they often cannot show concealed routes, distance, access, obstructions, lighting changes, roof or ceiling conditions and safety requirements. A final commercial scope may require an onsite survey.

A site survey turns a general request into a practical scope. It allows the technician to see the environment, measure routes, identify obstructions and understand how the proposed system will be installed and supported. Pacific normally discusses the requirement first, attends the site where needed, records the existing infrastructure and prepares a proposal based on the actual work rather than assumptions.
