Consultation & System Design
Every project begins with a deep dive into your space, lifestyle, and technology goals. We assess how you interact with your home and identify opportunities to streamline your experience through smart automation. This includes evaluating natural light patterns, electrical plans, and existing infrastructure. From there, we design a fully integrated system that brings together smart lighting, motorized shades, and control interfaces—whether it’s voice, app-based, or touch panels. The result is a tailored design blueprint that blends aesthetics with intelligent functionality.
What’s Included:
On-site or virtual consultation
Review of floor plans, elevations, and existing systems
Platform recommendations (e.g., Control4, Lutron, Savant)
System layout including zones, device types, and control methods
Product curation based on performance, compatibility, and design
Installation & System Integration
With the design finalized, we move into deployment—executing your smart system with precision and attention to detail. Our certified technicians handle everything from low-voltage prewiring to final hardware installation, ensuring all components are installed cleanly and function as a unified ecosystem.
