I have done a site survey and I want to keep the cost down.
Perhaps you should NOT pull the required low voltage permit, you can save the cost of a couple hundred feet of cable. Speaking of cable, if you don't pull the Permit you can use CMR...it's a lot less expensive than CMP.
Seriously...just pull a permit and install a new IDF. Deinstall the existing 7 lines. If as you say each have a separate telephone number then run two 4-pair wires from the demark to the new IDF to feed your 7 CO lines then Star Topology the 7 phone from there. Albeit you will only have 1 spare pair in your feed so it's up to you which is less expensive: Only having 1 spare pair for growth and install another cable in the future because they out grew your feed and you have to rent a hi-lift again; or run three 4-pr wires to extend the CO lines.
Use a fibre jumper to extend fiber to the new area. You can buy fiber pre-made to fit your needs.
Move the IT gear as requested and let the IT weenies connect everything up...it's their equipment.
Also, I need free open source blue print software used for quoting a job.
Have you tried
GOOGLE?The first thing that pops-up with the parameters of
Open Source CAD 2D is:
LibreCAD which works on Windows, Apple and Linux. I don't know a thing about it but a little research on your part will let you know if it is what you are looking for.
