The Westside runs from Brentwood and Westwood through Santa Monica, Venice and Marina del Rey, with Culver City and Pacific Palisades on either side. You get large homes, townhomes, condos, apartment buildings and a good number of offices and creative spaces.
Two things shape most jobs here. One is the coastal climate: damp, salty air is hard on outdoor equipment, so we choose weather-rated hardware and seal outdoor connections. The other is building type: with townhomes and condos you often have limited ceiling access, so cable paths need planning.
Santa Monica, Venice, Culver City and the rest of the Westside
Santa Monica mixes beachside apartments and condos, mid-rise offices downtown near the Third Street Promenade, and single-family streets north of Wilshire Boulevard and around Montana Avenue. Venice has small bungalows next to newer houses on narrow lots, and the Venice Canals have homes packed along the water. Abbot Kinney Boulevard is full of shops and creative offices.
Marina del Rey is mostly apartments and condos around the marina, along Admiralty Way and Via Marina. Westwood has the UCLA campus and the condo buildings along Wilshire Boulevard. Culver City has Sony Pictures Studios, the Hayden Tract, where older industrial buildings have become offices, and the Helms Bakery District.
Brentwood and Pacific Palisades add hillside houses, including the Mandeville Canyon area. If you are rebuilding in the Palisades, the point before drywall goes up is the easiest time to plan network cable.
01 / WHAT PROPERTIES HERE NEEDWhat we plan for in Santa Monica and the Westside
Salt air and outdoor equipment
Anything mounted outside near the coast sees moisture and salt. We use outdoor rated cameras and access points, weatherproof connectors and sealed junctions, and keep sensitive equipment inside a dry closet or cabinet.
Townhomes and condos
Shared walls and concrete floors limit where cable can go. We usually plan around existing closets, utility chases and surface raceway, and coordinate with building management when common areas are involved.
Offices in older and mixed-use buildings
Creative and professional offices in converted buildings often have exposed ceilings and no network closet. We create a tidy rack location, label every run and set up secure staff Wi-Fi and a separate guest network.
Canyon and hillside homes
Brentwood and the Palisades include hillside streets. Terrain and multiple levels call for multi-point Wi-Fi and cameras that cover steps and driveways, as in other hillside neighborhoods we serve.
