Workflow
From floor plan to as-built, in three steps
Every tool in the suite follows the same workflow — survey the site, generate the quote, hand off a clean deployment record. Here's what happens at each step.
Survey the site
Start from a floor plan and place every device exactly where it needs to go — cameras, doors, racks, panels, or drops — then draw the cable runs between them.
- Upload your existing floor plan
- Place devices and runs to scale
- Works for a single room or a whole building
Generate layout, quote details and notes, task list and timeline
Every device, run, and note you've placed compiles into a complete quote package — a clean layout, itemized quote details, a task list for the crew, and an install timeline ready to attach to a proposal.
- Clean, printable layout
- Quote details, notes & task list
- Expected cost & install timeline
Deploy with a clean as-built
Hand your crew a documented plan instead of a memory. When the job's done, the as-built is already there for the next walkthrough or service call.
- Printable as-built documentation
- Shareable with crew and clients
- Reusable for service calls and upgrades
Flexible by design

Questions
Common questions
Do I have to use every tool?
No. Each tool works on its own. Use LVDeploy for the whole job, or open a single tool like Security Camera Placement when that's all you need.
Is the Data Cabling Estimate Calculator really free forever?
Yes. No trial and no account required — it's free to use any time, even if you never start a trial of the rest of the suite.
What do I get out at the end of a job?
A bill of materials with labor estimates, exportable to Excel or PDF, plus an as-built record of every device and cable run you placed — ready to hand to your crew or attach to a proposal.
What happens after my 7-day trial?
Your projects stay yours. See the Pricing page for what happens next, or reach out to our team to talk through the right plan for your crew.
