Who We Partner With

Built for the People Who Build

We speak your language — submittals, RFIs, change orders, and inspection-ready installs. Whatever your role on the project, you get one low-voltage partner who hits the schedule and the spec.

General Contractors

A reliable Division 27/28 trade partner who shows up on schedule, coordinates with your other trades, and delivers inspection-ready work.

Architects & Designers

Spec support, product cut sheets, and design-build input so security and low-voltage are engineered in — not bolted on at the end.

Project Managers

One point of contact for cameras, access, cabling, and AV. Clear submittals, predictable timelines, and clean closeout documentation.

National Accounts & Owners

Multi-site and out-of-state rollouts with consistent standards, centralized management, and a single vendor across all your locations.

We Work the Way Your Project Does

From design-build coordination to competitive bid-spec responses, Michigan Security Systems integrates seamlessly with your construction schedule, drawings, and submittals on commercial projects across the Midwest.

Design-Build & Bid-Spec Support

We provide plan-and-spec design assistance during the design phase, or competitive bids built directly to your construction drawings, RFP, and submittal requirements.

Single Point of Contact

One dedicated project manager and one invoice across every site in a multi-location rollout — no coordinating separate local security subcontractors at each address.

Low-Voltage Scope Coordination

We coordinate Division 27 (communications) and Division 28 (electronic safety & security) scope with your general contractor, electrical, and IT trades.

Built to Your Timeline

Rough-in through final trim and commissioning, scheduled to your construction phases, certificate-of-occupancy dates, and store-opening deadlines.

1

Common Questions

Contractor & New Construction FAQs

Straight answers to the questions general contractors, architects, and project managers ask most about commercial security and low-voltage on construction projects.

Who handles the low-voltage and security scope on a new construction project?

On commercial new construction, the security and low-voltage scope — CSI Division 27 (communications) and Division 28 (electronic safety & security) — is typically handled by a dedicated low-voltage integrator rather than the electrical contractor. Michigan Security Systems carries that full scope in-house: structured cabling, security cameras, access control, alarms, and intercom — coordinated with your electrical and IT trades from rough-in through final trim.

Can you help us bid the security scope on a project we’re estimating?

Yes. Send us your construction drawings, RFP, or spec and we’ll provide budget pricing and a clean, itemized Division 27/28 line item for your estimate — at no charge. If you win the job, we follow up with full submittals and product cut sheets. This lets general contractors bid commercial security with confidence instead of guessing on the low-voltage.

What is the difference between Division 27 and Division 28?

Division 27 (Communications) covers structured cabling, data/voice infrastructure, fiber backbone, equipment rooms, and wireless networking. Division 28 (Electronic Safety & Security) covers security cameras, access control, intrusion alarms, and video intercom. Most commercial projects need both, and Michigan Security Systems delivers them as one coordinated package rather than splitting the work between vendors.

Do you provide design-build and plan-and-spec support?

Yes. We provide plan-and-spec design assistance during the design phase for architects and owners, or we bid competitively to your existing construction drawings and submittal requirements. Either way you get one team accountable for the security and low-voltage scope — engineered in, not bolted on at the end.

Do you self-perform, or do you subcontract the work?

Every installation is self-performed by our own licensed W-2 Michigan technicians — we never subcontract the work to third parties. The crew that bid your job is the crew on site, which means consistent quality and a single point of accountability from rough-in to closeout and warranty.

Can you handle multi-site and out-of-state rollouts?

Yes. We deliver multi-location rollouts and remodels to one consistent standard, site after site, with one dedicated project manager and one invoice. We serve Michigan, Ohio, and Indiana directly, plus national multi-site accounts across the Midwest and Great Lakes region.

Will your work pass inspection and meet code?

Yes. Our installations are code-compliant and built to BICSI standards. We know what local authorities having jurisdiction (AHJs) look for, so the work passes inspection the first time — without holding up your certificate of occupancy or the next trade on site.

What is your equipment — is it NDAA and TAA compliant?

We install NDAA- and TAA-compliant commercial-grade equipment from trusted manufacturers, which matters for government, education, and many corporate projects with procurement requirements. We’ll spec equipment that meets your project’s compliance needs and budget.
