Built Into the Foundation. Not the Finishes.
Technology designed at the framing stage costs a fraction of what it costs after drywall. We produce field-ready infrastructure diagrams before permits are pulled — and coordinate directly with your electrical and framing crews so nothing has to be redone.
Four Build Phases. We’re Present at Every One.
Technology integration isn’t a finish item. It starts before permits and runs through final walkthrough — coordinated with your schedule at every phase, executed by full-time employees, never subcontracted.
Pre-Permit: Field-Ready Diagrams
Infrastructure specified before framing begins — so nothing gets redone.
- Conduit routes and enclosure sizing
- Panel requirements and network backbone
- Diagrams your crews can build from
- Specified before permits are pulled
Framing & Trim: Zero Rework
Direct coordination with your electrical and framing crews, sequenced around your schedule.
- Every box location specified
- Our own low-voltage rough-in crews
- Conduit confirmed before walls close
- Trim sequenced around paint — no damage to finishes
Closeout: Commissioned Before Keys
Programming, activation, and walkthrough complete before the buyer moves in.
- Control4 programming and Ajax activation
- Network commissioning via OvrC
- Full homeowner walkthrough
- 90-day workmanship warranty from commission date
Every System. One Team. One Architecture.
Designed together — by the same in-house team. No subcontractors, no hand-offs.
Infrastructure Design

LUMA + Island + WiFi
LUMA NVR with edge AI object classification integrated with Control4, on an Island firewall and enterprise WiFi backbone managed via OvrC — designed at the start, never added later.
Control4 + Colorbeam
Tunable white and RGBW fixtures on the Colorbeam GATEway — circadian schedules, occupancy detection, and scene automation as standard equipment, not upgrades.

Smart Home for Builders FAQs
Before permits. Field-ready infrastructure diagrams — conduit routes, enclosure sizing, panel requirements, network backbone — should exist before framing begins. That's what eliminates rework, and it's the phase where every capability is still cheap.
With them, directly. We specify every box location for your electricians, pull our own low-voltage rough-in on your schedule, and confirm conduit runs before walls close. At trim we sequence around paint. Your crews never wait on us.
