For Architects, Builders & Developers
A Technology Partner Your Clients Will Thank You For
We work as an extension of your project team — not as an after-thought specified the week before drywall. Pricing is transparent, scope is options-based, and we answer to your construction timeline.
Design-Phase Collaboration
Engaged from schematic design through CDs. We provide stamped drawings, cable schedules, and equipment specifications that integrate with the architectural set without redlines.
- Coordination calls with the architect and GC on a weekly cadence
- BIM/CAD-ready infrastructure drawings
- Pre-bid budget guidance to avoid late VE cycles
Tiered Scope & Transparent Bids
Three scope tiers — Foundation, Performance, Reference — each with line-item pricing and clear delivery dates. No “call for pricing” obfuscation.
- Per-room and per-system pricing for buyer-spec presentations
- Owner-direct contracts or GC-flow-through; we adapt to your model
- Same scope deliverable across multiple homes in a development
Punch-List Discipline
Documented commissioning checklist signed by builder, architect, and owner. Open items tracked transparently with target completion dates so the punch process never becomes a surprise at certificate of occupancy.
- QC walkthrough 7 days before substantial completion
- Trade-back coordination with electrician, drywall, finish
- Owner training scheduled around builder handover
Repeatable Across Projects
Working on more than one home? We standardize specs, equipment, and programming across a development so your crew and your buyers learn one system, not five.
- Single-vendor pricing across all homes in a pipeline
- Common pre-wire spec sheet reusable per floorplan
- Centralized warranty and concierge handoff at closing
New Construction Questions
Common questions from clients considering this service
Ideally during architectural planning, before walls are framed. Early involvement ensures proper infrastructure—conduit pathways, equipment room sizing, network distribution, and power requirements. This prevents costly retrofits and enables capabilities impossible to add later. We coordinate directly with your architect, builder, and design team throughout the process.
