basically, if new townhouse, developer usually corporate with TM to laid the fiber cable concealed inside ur internal new house
when unifi activate, TM only install the router in your premise
If no, then is unlucky

i dont mind about Unifi, what matter now is i'm concern about setting up my own private LAN in all of the room in the house

since it is a new house, just do some minor hacking conceal the Cat6 cables inside, only at one time effort

if installing network cable in new build (estimate year end) , is Cat-6 still the way to go ? Worth to go for Cat-6A / Cat 7 ?

mainly to connect NAS to Home Office and room media player.

also for IP CCTV (Hikvision or Ubiquiti ?)

It is always worth to go for the latest standard if you have the budget because it is not easy to change in the future.. requires hacking and it's super messy with all the dust..

Ip camera can consider Dahua or HIK. Even mat salleh don't really go for UBNT which is over price.

thanks, I've been reading up these few days. Still seem Cat6 (not even Cat6a) is OK ?

1gbps should be good enough for NAS to "Home Theater" (cheapo projector) ?

I have 1 existing installation of UBNT and 1 with HIK (separate location, each about 20 cams). Both 5 years old, UBNT didn't need to replace anything yet although 1 cam IR dosen't work.

HIK had to change 2 cameras. Yea cost wise I can buy a whole new set of HIK comparing with UBNT ... but just wondering if there are more "premium" model for HIK that lasts longer ? since this is for my own house, prefer something with least hassle / highest reliability.

Yes, entry level Dahua/HIK reliability is a big question mark but if you can afford UBNT then search for the project models of dahua & HIK. Yours is dome or bullet?

you mean for UBNT ? I use both, dome for indoor and G3 for outdoor.

Problem with HIK is tough to know if it's a more premium/highend model or seller just marking up the price

Project models normally not listed in Shopee/Lazada. Aliexpress have. How many dome & bullets, I try to recommend the models for you.

13 dome, 9 bullet. IR is a must, and having a mic is a plus.
