Uncertainty about how to design residential internet infrastructure to support fiber-to-the-home without over-engineering or creating future problems.

No clear standard or best-practice guide for integrating fiber-ready pathways into new residential construction, leading to uncertainty about whether to pull traditional cabling or install conduit for future ISP use.

App Concept

FiberReady Pro

A mobile/web app that provides step-by-step infrastructure blueprints for residential fiber-ready builds. Electricians and low-volt installers select house type (new build, retrofit) and local ISP requirements, and get a customized diagram showing exactly where to place conduit, pull boxes, and cable endpoints. Integrates with material takeoff tools to generate a shopping list. No more guesswork or callbacks from ISPs.

Key Features

House-type selection with ISP database for fiber requirements
Auto-generated infrastructure diagram (conduit paths, box locations, cable types)
Material list generator with local supplier prices
Photo documentation for as-built records
Shareable plan for homeowner and ISP technician

Target Users: Electricians and low-voltage installers in residential construction (new home builders and remodelers) in the US, small to mid-size companies (1-50 employees).

Revenue Model: $19/mo per user subscription (monthly or annual), with a free tier for 1 house plan per month. Premium tier at $49/mo adds unlimited plans, ISP database updates, and export to PDF.
