Technology Assessment
Technology in your home is always changing and aging.
Is your system unserviceable or outdated? Are you considering an upgrade and want to know what you can keep and what you should replace? Are you buying a house with a control system and want to know what you are acquiring? Are you selling your home and want to provide a valuation to the new owner?
Our technology assessment will provide the information you need to guide your decision for the next generation of smart home products. The documentation will outline what products are no longer supported by the manufacturer, options to replace failed devices and cool, new products for you to consider.
System Design Services
The good news is that we are not trying to sell you anything.
We are an unbiased, brand agnostic technology design crew. We start our process by working with you to learn how you interact with your home in your day-to-day routine. What products are you comfortable using? Do you have systems in other properties? What technology brands are you enamored by?
We have a deep understanding of how the products work. Combine that with a superb network of vendor relationships and an internal Research & Development team and we can ensure that all products will interact as designed.
We work closely with your Architect and Interior Designer to provide a comprehensive smart home package which includes professional CAD blueprints for equipment location, interconnectivity, elevations and product renderings.
Wrap it up and put a bow on it! You will have a budget, drawings and a good team to help you through the bidding process.
Owner Representation
Beep Beep Boop Beep Whirl Beep Ding - these may be a bunch of robot noises to you, but they are music to our nerdy ears.
So you survived through the System Design phase? Next up is the journey through the actual Project Implementation - where those beeps and boops get really loud. Not to worry, we are here to help you interpret them.
If we worked together on the design and budget, we will assist you in vetting Custom Integration companies and reviewing the bids to make sure everything is accurate.
If you worked with a Custom Integrator and want an unbiased second opinion on the design and budget, we are in your corner.
In either case, we stand by you by offering owner representation and project management throughout all phases of the process: Pre-wire, trim, installation, programming, system commissioning, documentation and training.
Support & Maintenance
"When it works, it works great. When it doesn't, I want to smash it with a hammer." - Albert S.
"I just want to watch TV without issues." - Tom J.
Actual quotes from folks with temperamental systems.
A great deal of time and resources went into the design and installation of your technology system. It has all the bells and whistles one would expect for the investment made.
Three years later and that television does not come on the same way it used to. Music streaming sources have changed, so your favorite channels no longer play. Rooms have been redecorated and the lighting keypad buttons do not match up. Someone dropped your remote in the pool...
Smart homes are complicated. At the time of design, best intentions are made to "future proof" the residence. However, companies go out of business, products are discontinued and devices need attention.
Preventative maintenance wards off a majority of the issues associated with an aging system. Our support plans include quarterly visits to evaluate system statuses, update firmware and offer strategic upgrade paths. Of course, the programs include unlimited support phone calls with remote services where equipment supports it.
Having a party or returning to the property after an extended absence? We work with your property manager to arrange pre-arrival and pre-party system checkups.
Albert put away his hammer and Tom can relax while watching tv because all of the technical processes are up to date and invisibly working in the background.
