Use the results for early project planning
What the results are for
The calculators and planning tools support initial budgeting, technical checks, option comparison and internal business cases. They provide a practical starting point before the detailed building and technical requirements have been confirmed.
What can change the final price
Final pricing can be affected by cable routes, containment, equipment locations, building access, occupied areas, working hours, existing network capacity and the level of testing, commissioning and documentation required. Structured cabling installation planning and quality assurance are addressed within BS EN 50174-1.
Who the calculators are for
Each calculator is designed for facilities managers, IT teams, consultants and project leads planning office moves, refurbishments, network upgrades and new commercial installations. For wider technical guidance, visit the ACCL Network Infrastructure Knowledge Base.
