Savant Solutions self-performs Division 27 structured cabling — Cat6 and Cat6A, multimode and singlemode fiber with certification testing — for the Fayetteville, Fort Bragg and Sandhills area from its Raeford shop, under the same NC Unlimited license (U.36332) as its electrical work. Ask an electrical subcontractor to price Division 27 and, more often than not, the number comes back from somebody else. The low-voltage gets brokered to a second vendor with a second schedule, a second foreman and a second set of excuses when the rough-in misses.
We came up the other way round. Before Savant Solutions held an unlimited electrical license, its owner ran an IT services business — structured cabling, fiber and network infrastructure were the original trade, and the electrical license came after. That is why the data scope here is self-performed rather than subcontracted.
For a general contractor the practical effect is simple: one subcontract covers both divisions, the data rough-in lands on the same schedule as the branch circuits, and there is no coordination meeting between two subs who each think the other owns the sleeve.
