Communities and Town Homes
Over years of providing low voltage and automation systems to developers and homeowners, we know exactly where the optimal system is to provide maximum value and luxurious impression to home buyers while accounting for builder’s budget.
The biggest challenge for builders in large scale development is that they don’t have the budget to include a reasonable automation system that homeowner can enjoy for many years. When home owners approach us for upgrades after construction, we are limited with we can do; simply because there was not enough technical knowledge behind wiring design of the homes. In order to be able to provide homeowners with what they need, we started working with builders within their existing budget but on a win-win model that benefits both builder and homebuyer.
By taking care of the low voltage rough-in of community homes, we have the chance to implement the right wiring design that will not have shortage for home automation systems. It is not about adding to the cost, it is about optimizing the budget on the right design.

Beside the basic package that provides a solid automation foundation to the project, your buyer’s will have the option of upgrading to one of the smart home packages. We offer a free consultation session at one of our own showrooms to brief your clients on what they will get and how it will benefit their life style.

Once we know what kind of upgrades each property has, our designers and engineers will start working on the wiring schematics and plan for hassle-free rough-in.
