ITI has good wireless systems.

I have worked extensively with First Alert branded Ademco/Honeywell
equipment and have not had too many issues.  Biggest problem I've seen
is that repeaters cannot be daisy-chained like the ITI stuff.

I'm also curious as to why the builder INSISTS on wireless.

Around here it's usually an attempt at an end-around permits as the
inspectors don't see the wiring during the rough-in inspections and trim
out only occurs after occupancy has been granted.  Then again, here only
the fire equipment and wiring gets inspected.
