Smart Home Automation System Design & Project Management

Project Management

Smart home design and installation guidance to create the best home automation system while self contracting or performing your own labor.
We require a scope of work for this service, which you can provide to us or have us create a specification for you.

Prewire

We give you everything you need to prewire your smart home. We start by creating a prewire specification that comes with a prewire checklist. We send all the right materials to get the job done. We provide endless amounts of support during the process by phone and/or email. We’re with you every step of the way.

Install

Once everything is primed and painted you’ll receive a trim checklist along with all of the devices that will be mounted throughout the house. You’ll also receive all of the rack components along with a wiring schematic that details every required interconnect from input to output. We have three options for rack installation.

Program

All equipment arrives with the base programming already finished. Once the trim checklist and wiring schematic have been executed, you can sit back and let us program the system. There will be be some testing required as we program, and once all of the program is finished you validate the result and the job is complete.

 

Spending Smart

Professional quality systems require professional knowledge and experience. Cable pulling and TV mounting only requires general construction knowledge. Our model lets that professional knowledge and experience to be implemented in the specification and programming where it is necessary, but also enables DIY install or labor contracted at a more general rate instead of paying high priced integration contractors.

This is do it yourself done right, now commonly being called “assisted DIY.” The entire job is directed by you, the homeowner, equipped with our knowledge and experience. It’s all the benefits of self contracting while not losing the benefits of professional installation.

The Details

We do these jobs under a contract that specifies when you purchase all of your equipment from us we will provide all of the design and installation documents at no charge. Prices on all of our equipment is fixed at a 25% discount from MSRP, which allows for a fair and transparent pricing policy. Video equipment (TV’s, Projectors) are never part of our agreements.

How does this compare to a complete DIY? If you’re using professional grade equipment then we typically suggest you could save 10% on what our price would be if you shopped each piece of individual equipment from each vendor that had the lowest price. However, not only would it take many hours to find the best price on each piece of equipment, but it would also arrived with factory programming. All of our product is delivered with the proper programming already in place. We also provide support for all of the products that we sell, so you’re never having to call the manufacturer direct. The value proposition is clear.
