Unifi is on fiber. So you won't be able to lay the fiber now.

Find out where the Unifi / phone grid is, usually is behind the house.

Prepare an empty conduit from rear balcony all the way to your desire location. Put a wire/cable puller inside the conduit. Try not to have too many junction so the cable puller is easier to be pull.

This is how the cable puller look like.

You need to supply the cable puller to your wireman, ask him put it inside. When all conceal is done, try pull say few feet of the puller see if it got stuck or smooth. Also make sure the outdoor conduit is facing downward, so rain water not flow in /  cover.
This is how i did when i do my house wiring. My termination is from laundry area to my "server room".

Same as electrical wires, if got problem also cannot check.

LAN cables I did my own simple LED LAN cable tester after I clamp it. Is only CAT 5e, don't need noise tester. Fiber is freshly pull by contractor, sure no problem.

Usual Broadband problem are on the device, or the RJ45 plug.

Link house. I'm thinking of running the pipes in my house so as to facilitate the unifi installer to run the fibre cables to the tv table. But first I've to determine where is the cable going to be linked from outside.

See how your neighbor unifi connect, usually are from the back of the house. Some house run from a manhole. If back of your house don't have the "tiang" maybe is run under the manhole.

Anyone experienced getting unifi contractor to lay conduit during house renovation? And how much they charged?

Conduit was lay by my wiring contractor, for got was it foc or just count at one electrical point anyway is not much. I just have to supply cable puller to be insert when the conduit is lay. Make sure no >90deg bend. If there are 90deg bending, put a box so you can access it.

Wiring need early planning.

While unifi contractor just pull the fiber into the empty conduit using the cable puller inside. No additional charges since is still within the length limit.

A bit pricy if just 1 point. Some more is they are doing it while attending your house on behalf of TM to do their own thing, right?
