That being said, I would ask if the home is being prewired for alarm services or not. If so, you could find an avenue to ask about other things. My sister and her husband just bought a new house outside of Dallas and it is coming prewired for RG6, wired alarm and CAT-6 ethernet.
Thanks for the suggestion. I suspect the builder will try to sell a wireless alarm system instead, but I will suggest my relative ask the design consultants. During my "dumb homebuyer" Thanksgiving tour, I found out the $1,000 smurf tube option was a 5-foot tube (2-inch) from the TV mounting box above the fireplace mantel to the side of the fireplace for a media console for a hdmi cable. On the other hand, the sales person was very proud that the garage is "EV-Ready." Which is how I found out the garage was their office, not on the tour.
