Ron,


If you want to do the single point entry thing with a very nice  box on 
the exterior, look at KF7P Metal Works:

Well reviewed on e-ham.  I installed  one of his 16 x 16 boxes last year 
after moving the shack to a different room and needing to re-run 
everything.    I went with the powder coat finish, keyed lock, and 
copper grounding plate inside.    8 grommeted holes on the bottom of the 
box for cables to enter and attach to grounding  units on the copper 
plate.  A single large hole on the back of the box for a 1.5 inch pvc 
pipe to pass the cables through the foundation.


I was very pleased with the quality and heft of the box.  The door is 
gasketed and all hardware is  stainless, including the  full length 
piano hinge for the door.


I'm sure you have a lot of options with new construction, but  this is 
the way I went.

73, Steve KW3A
