Project Technology Assessment - For Architects and Interior Designers

When your clients’ technology systems are planned for early in your design process, the home's technology will be blended into the decor in a much more aesthetically pleasing way. Change orders and project delays due to delayed technology decisions will be greatly minimized or eliminated.

Engage a qualified home technology integrator* as early as possible, ideally during the schematic design phase. Advanced technology integrators have a technology consulting, design, and engineering phase and will collaborate with you to help ensure the home’s technology systems work with your design aesthetic. Beyond aesthetics, an integrator’s consulting and design services include space planning for specialized rooms such as home theater and media rooms. This also includes defining critical technology system needs such as electrical and HVAC requirements and where equipment racks should be located.
