Form library · AV and IT
A network and structured cabling survey for quotes, installs, audits and change requests. Follow the cable route back to the comms room, record rack space, power and cooling, count existing and required outlets by area, and check the proposed cable's fire class. Every question is listed below, and you can fill the live form in on this page.

An IT site survey checklist should record why the survey is being done, asbestos and access checks, the cable route and containment back to the comms room, cabinet space used and free, power and cooling, existing outlets and how they were checked, and the data and access point outlets needed in each area. It should end with constraints, actions and a signature.
Last updated . Facts checked by the SiteSurvey team on 5 October 2026 against BS 6701:2016+A1:2017, telecommunications equipment and cabling installation (BSI) and regulation 4 of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 (duty to manage).
Walk the route, the comms room and the outlets on a phone. The form works out the free rack space, the outlets and cable runs per area, the cable needed and the constraints you found, and pins where the incoming line enters the building.
No cable route, too little rack space, no power or cooling, pipes in the comms room, dead outlets, an unknown cable fire class or asbestos information not seen: each one adds to the constraints count, so nothing is left off the quote.

Enter the cabinet size, the space in use, the space the client keeps and the space this work needs. The form shows the share used and what is free after the work, and warns you when it does not fit.

On a campus or business park, mark where the line or fibre enters the building. The next engineer opens the map and walks to it. Mark current location works on web forms in any phone browser today, and the app version is on its way.

How Walk Cam works →A fictional second floor office before a quote: a 600 mm ceiling void with tray, a 42U cabinet with 26U free after the work, two dead floor boxes, no cooling, 60 outlets across three areas and the incoming line pinned by GPS.

For teams
Paper or a spreadsheet works for the odd job. When your team does this every week, SiteSurvey keeps every visit in one place and turns each one into a report you can send.
Your team completes the it and network site survey on site in the SiteSurvey app on iPhone, iPad and Android phones and tablets. The project name and address fill in for them, it works without signal, and it syncs when the device is back online with photos kept against the question they answer.
Customers and subcontractors do not need the app: send them a link and they can fill it in from any browser.
Containment and cable routes, comms room and cabinet, power and cooling, existing and required outlets by area. 9 sections and 97 questions. Follow-up questions and guidance appear only when an answer calls for them, so the person on site never sees the ones that do not apply.
This is a starting point, not a fixed form. Once it is in your SiteSurvey account you can reword any question, add or remove questions, sections and answer options, and add your own logo, so it fits the way your team works and the jobs you do.
Add this form to a project in SiteSurvey and it fills in what the project already knows, so nobody on site retypes it and every form on the job uses the same names. Anything filled in can still be changed.
Where, when and why the survey is being done.
Filled in from the project in SiteSurvey.
Check before you lift a tile or open a riser.
Follow the route from the outlets back to the comms room.
Measuring from a photo gives an estimate. Use a tape for the final figure.
Optional. Film a guided walk-through on the SiteSurvey app; each clip keeps its spoken note.
Rack space used, reserved and free.
Stand at the entry point, the external duct or the telecoms box and tap Mark current location, so the next engineer finds it on a campus or business park. Add a short note, for example North wall, by the bike store.
What the room can supply and what it has to get rid of.
Count what is there and what works.
One entry for each room or area. The totals add up as you go.
Use the runs you measured in section 3.
Total cable runs, times the average run, plus 10%.
What will be installed, and where it will run.
Above ceilings, below floors, behind walls, in conduit or trunking, or on tray that needs a ladder to reach.

No. It records the site as found. Where outlets were only link checked with a hand tester or looked at, the form says this is not a test of cabling performance and that the report should say so.
For installation cables inside a building that run in a hidden route or where access is limited, such as above ceilings or below floors, BS 6701 sets a minimum reaction to fire class of Cca-s1b,d2,a2. The form asks for the class of the proposed cable and prompts you to ask the supplier for the declaration of performance if it is not known. It also warns that cables held by plastic clips or ties alone can drop in a fire.
Enter the cabinet size, the space in use, the space the client has reserved and the space this work needs, all in U. The form works out what is free now and after the work, and warns if there is not enough so you can allow for another cabinet.
Each area records the data outlets and access point outlets it needs, and the form totals the cable runs. Enter an average run from the routes you measured and it gives an estimate with a 10% allowance.
No. It records where access point outlets are needed and how the access points will be fixed, but it does not measure Wi-Fi signal or produce heat maps. Use a dedicated wireless survey tool for signal coverage.
The asbestos information for the areas you will open up. In non-domestic premises the dutyholder must give information on where asbestos is, and its condition, to anyone liable to disturb it. If you have not seen it, the form tells you to stop until you have. If asbestos is recorded where you planned to work, it tells you not to disturb it and to agree another route or a safe way of working with the dutyholder.
