Fiber Cables

Hi all, I am a network engineer and I usually don’t have anything to do with cabling. My customer is building a few buildings and they want them interconnected via 10Gb fiber with the possibility to upgrade to 40Gb with just changing the (switch and) sfp. I have seen that the same connectors can be used. The buildings are not far apart (400 feet max). So that should give enough possibilities.

What would be best to use. My customer asked to review the contractors quote. We just make designs and configure them when all is in place. This is a bit out of my comfort zone but I don’t want to leave him hanging either.

Are there any specific elements I need to take into consideration?

Thanks!
