Installation · For Builders

Central vacuums in the homes you build

You are building the homes. We put the central vacuum systems in them. Send us the plans, we look at the project and quote it, and we install on the schedule we agreed. We have done this on countless projects with home builders.

How It Works

Send the plans, and the work starts there

Four steps. The first one is yours. Every project runs differently, so yours gets looked at on its own terms rather than dropped into a standard package.

  1. 01

    Send the plans

    The drawings for the project are where it starts. We work from plans.

  2. 02

    We look at the project

    We go through what you sent and work out what the homes need.

  3. 03

    You get a quote

    A quote for the project comes back to you.

  4. 04

    We install

    Once it is approved, the system goes in on the schedule we agreed.

Plans are where a project starts, not where it ends. Where a project needs looking at on site, there is no fixed number of visits, and sometimes it is finished in a single trip.

The Schedule

The calendar is the one we agreed on

A central vacuum goes in while the walls are open, so the date has to fit the build. Here is how it gets set, and what happens to it when the build moves.

The date is agreed, not handed over
Rough-in timing is set project by project, between us. No calendar gets handed to you, and none gets handed to us.
The calendar we agreed is the one we keep
Once a date is set, that is the date we work to.
A delay gets replanned
Builds move. When a date shifts, we replan around the new one.
The relationship runs through the project
Working with a builder is a relationship rather than a single delivery. It carries on for the length of the project, and a job that is started is finished.
Central vacuum tubing roughed into an unfinished house: white pipe running up between open ceiling joists, a branch elbow dropping off it, and low-voltage wire stapled along the framing.
Scale

One home, or every home in the project

We take on multi-home projects, and we take on a single house. There is no minimum project size.

The flow is the same either way: the plans come in, the project gets looked at, and the quote covers the project you sent.

What The Homeowner Gets

What goes into each home

The buyer moving in is the one who lives with this system, so it is worth knowing exactly what they are getting. This is what a new-construction install covers.

An MD system
Every new system we sell and install is MD. It is the line we carry, and it is what goes into the homes you build.
The hose and accessory kit is included
On a new-construction system the hose, the power head and the tools that clip onto it come with it.
The electrical work the system needs is ours
On a new-construction install, the electrical work the system needs is ours too, put in along the same route as the tubing.
Where the inlets go
There is no standard layout for this. It follows how the rooms are going to be used and the hose length the homeowner would rather handle, and we recommend it when we go through the project.
MD's manufacturer warranty
The equipment is backed by MD's lifetime limited warranty against manufacturing defects.
We stand behind our own work
We warranty our own workmanship.
Commercial Work

Not only houses

A central vacuum is not only a residential system. Veterinary clinics, hair salons and businesses of that kind are in scope for us as well. If what you are building is one of those, send the plans the same way and we will look at the project.

For Builders

Send us the plans

Send the drawings for the project and tell us roughly what you are building. We will look at what the homes need, come back with a quote, and install on the schedule we agree. One home or a whole project, and there is no minimum.
