The obvious problem with this approach is that I am terminating the wires twice, which is lots of extra labor.
How do you handle this? Is it possible to terminate the wires during the first inspection/testing phase in a way that doesn't require them to be reterminated?
Mentioned above by Chris...At the room end you can put your connectors/keystones on, test, wrap them in plastic and tape. At trim out just unbag them. This isn't always 100% but most of your locations will be fine.
Since your post specifically mentioned labor...In the control room there really isn't anything you can do about it aside from permanently terminating everything to patch panels in a rack or enclosure. But then you have to factor in the labor or cost of all the patch cables you have to make or buy. Then you have to decide whether or not your distribution products (HDMI) will work if your cables aren't continuous from matrix to device.
