I-07General contractors
A low-voltage sub with drawings.
Smartech works under general contractors on new builds and renovations: coordinated drawings before rough-in, a schedule you can hold us to, and a closeout package that does not hold up yours.

What we bring to your schedule.
- GC-01Bid-stage reviewDrawings and specs read early, with RFIs before the bid, not after award.
- GC-02Coordinated drawingsDevice layouts and risers coordinated with electrical and door hardware.
- GC-03Rough-in coordinationBoxes, conduit and backing where our devices need them, on time.
- GC-04Manpower by phaseA crew plan that follows your schedule, not ours.
- GC-05Testing with the ownerSystems demonstrated and accepted with the owner's team.
- GC-06Closeout packageAs-builts, device lists, programming records and training sign-off.
SHT-03Closeout
Closeout starts at the beginning.
Retainage is released when closeout is complete, and security is often one of the last trades to finish. So we build the closeout package as we go: drawings updated as devices go in, programming recorded as it is done, training scheduled before the punch list, not after.
Florida law treats the bid itself as contracting: the attempted sale of contracting services and the negotiation or bid for a contract on these services also constitutes contracting. Ask every low-voltage sub for its license number with the bid. Ours is EG13000538.

No. Class II covers all types of alarm systems other than fire. We coordinate with your fire alarm sub where systems meet.

Both happen. Send your prequalification forms to contact@smartechsecurity.com. Trades that want to work with Smartech can use the subcontractor registration.
