Installation Standards Library. The same documents we hand to our trades.

Restrepo Innovations authors a working library of installation standards for architects, builders, electricians, owners reps, and our fellow integrators. Eighteen documents in three formats: full field manuals, single-sheet on-site one-pagers, and deep pre-wall detail standards. Use them on Restrepo projects. Use them on yours. Trade-share encouraged. Rebrand or resale prohibited.

Full standards documents.

Long-form field manuals authored by Restrepo Innovations. Each document is the working specification for one phase of a luxury residential or commercial project. Read once cover-to-cover. Reference at every milestone.

Vol. 01

Rough-In Standards

Low-voltage rough-in coordination. Cable management, plate locations, conduit, and the trade handoffs that decide whether a project finishes clean.

Vol. 02

Electrical Rough-In Standards

Coordination between Restrepo and the electrical trade. Line-voltage and low-voltage interfaces, panel feeds, switching loads, and clean separation of disciplines.

Vol. 03

Flush-Mount Standards

Pre-wall and substrate cut-line standards for flush-mounted devices. Touch panels, keypads, and architectural trim that sit clean to the finish surface.

Vol. 04

Panel Trim-Out Standards

Finish-phase trim-out for touch panels, keypads, and thermostats. Sequencing, paint coordination, and the small details that decide how a wall reads.

Vol. 05

Linear Lighting Standards

Channel reveal, mud-in, and drywall coordination for architectural linear lighting. The handoffs between integrator, framer, and finisher that produce a clean line.

Vol. 06

Shades Standards

Motorized shade pocket, reveal, and bezel standards. Architecture-first window treatments coordinated with framing, drywall, and finish carpentry.

Hand these to your team.

Every Restrepo project starts with the same documents. We share them publicly because the better the trade understands the spec, the cleaner the project finishes. Architects use them at design development. Builders use them at framing and rough. Electricians use them at panel and device coordination. Painters and finishers reference them at trim-out. Dealers in our network use them to specify their own projects.

If you are working a Restrepo project, these are the standards. If you are not yet, they are still yours to use. Reference them, share them, hand them to your team.

A note on use: these documents are watermarked because they are authored work. Use them, share them, print them, post them on a job-site wall. Do not rebrand them and do not resell them. If you want a private-label version of the standards for your own firm, reach out. that is a real conversation we have with partners.
