Building & Renovating: When to Incorporate Smart Home Design

Don’t Wait Until Construction’s Over! 

Are you constructing a new house in Sydney or planning a renovation? This is an excellent opportunity to integrate smart home technology and audio-video solutions into your project. During the construction phase, you have a clean slate to incorporate exciting features, such as in-ceiling speakers, automated lighting, wall touch plates, and a comprehensive security system.

However, you might be wondering when to begin with the smart home system design and how it aligns with your overall project. In this blog, we’ll address these queries and explain how a smart home company can enhance your new home in Sydney.

When Is the Smart System Installed? 

When it comes to smart technology and AV, many people assume that once construction is complete, that’s when it’s time to start adding smart lighting, whole-home audio, etc. 

But waiting until your house is finished is a missed opportunity! The ideal time to design a smart home system is during the planning phase, before any walls are finished. By involving a smart home integrator early on, we can collaborate with your home builder and other contractors to strategically design the placement of in-wall cables and devices. This ensures a more reliable wired smart home setup, which is particularly important for larger luxury houses. 

What Does a Smart Home Company Do? 

What is the role of a smart home installer? Our Sydney-based team specialises in setting up electrical connections and centralised controllers like Control4 and Crestron to enable automation for various smart home features—such as lighting, security systems, audio distribution, thermostats, HVAC systems, and much more.

Moreover, we create personalised scenes and configure wall keypads to match your specific preferences. For example, a “Goodnight" button by your bedside can automatically turn off the lights across the entire house, turn off TV’s and adjust the thermostat to a comfortable bedtime temperature.

To achieve true home automation, a sophisticated system is required to seamlessly integrate all your smart technologies and allow them to interact automatically. We strive to ensure that your smart home functions flawlessly whenever you need it, without any hiccups. Additionally, we prioritise user-friendliness so that even your guests can easily navigate and utilise the smart features.

By opting for a professionally designed and installed smart home, you’ll enjoy the convenience of all your smart functions through a single interface, whether it's an app on your smartphone, a handheld remote, or a wall control panel.

What If I Didn’t Plan Ahead? Is It Too Late? 

If you’re reading this blog and panicking that you’ve missed your chance to install a smart home system, fear not. We may not be able to discreetly run wires through the walls, and we may not be able to install in-wall or in-ceiling AV, but we can still implement wireless and wired solutions where possible. 

To hide wires, we can leverage painted conduits, crown moulding, or room decor and integrate wireless lighting, shading, and audio solutions. Even if your house is built and complete, we can still turn it into a luxurious, automated home!
