How to incorporate smart technology into your new build

If you’re in the process of planning a new build, or are considering building a home in the future, smart home automation is well worth considering in the process. A growing number of homeowners are retrofitting smart technology in their homes, and if you’re starting from the foundations, you’ve got the perfect opportunity to integrate your system from the very start.

But before we share tips for incorporating automation into a new build, let’s first take a look at why it’s so popular.

The key benefits of smart home automation:

• Create personalised comfort with automated lighting, heating and audiovisual entertainment
• Create a more energy efficient home
• Enjoy peace of mind thanks to smart security, including locks, alarms or surveillance
• Monitor your home system remotely with smartphone control
• Avoid retrofits by future-proofing your home from the start
• Increase the resale value of your property by making it more attractive to potential buyers

Choose a professional installer

When it comes to smart home installers, experience matters. A professional installation company can provide valuable insights that ensure you get the most out of your investment. From the quality of the installation to the level of communication throughout the process, choosing the right installer will save you endless time and stress.

Consider your needs today, and tomorrow

Once you’re at the planning stage, it’s important to consider how you want your home to work for you today, but also how it might need to work for you in the future. From entertainment to accessibility, our needs change over time. By taking the time to future-proof your home, you can ensure you enjoy it for years to come.

Make smart home automation work for your lifestyle

We firmly believe that smart home automation shouldn’t be a one-size-fits-all solution. In fact, we design our systems to meet the unique needs of the homeowner.

For example, if you regularly spend time overseas and leave your house vacant, smart security cameras and the ability to control your lights gives you the ultimate assurance. However, if you’re a busy household with teens and their friends constantly coming and going, an access control system may be a wise choice.
