Initial Conceptual Design

Helping you understand the ‘art of the possible’

  • Learn about your specific lifestyle and intended use of your dream home
  • Show you what is possible...without all the technobabble or jargon
  • Identify a range of recommended solutions in line with your budgets
  • Present you with some solutions that might stretch your budget but would provide significantly increased functionality
  • Constantly strive to provide our clients with those solutions that deliver the best return on investment
  • Use ‘cost v benefits’ analyses to help you evaluate the suitability of those solutions
  • Ensure your home is ‘future ready’ and create a solid foundation to allow you to easily add solutions as your needs evolve



Planning Approval

Technology beautifully harmonized into building design

  • We only recommend solutions that truly add benefits to our clients lives
  • Solutions to complement the beauty of your home’s design whilst remaining in the background
  • Utilising an approach of minimalistic aesthetics via discreet implementation of technology
  • Where appropriate install solutions to highlight and accentuate architectural features

Structural & Interior Specifications

Core part of your design team

  • Help you effectively plan your project while it is still on paper which is the most cost-effective time to make changes compared to the cost of making changes once construction has started
  • Work closely with your architect to ensure all suggested value add solutions will seamlessly integrate into the design
  • Liaise effectively with your main contractor to verify that the proposed value solutions can be installed in a way that will not adversely affect the overall construction sequencing of work, unnecessarily elongate the project timeline or increase the construction costs
  • Assist you with your budget planning by helping you understand the costs of various value add solutions so that you can accurately allocate the appropriate amounts to your overall construction budget
  • Allow for the thorough identification of all the relevant interdependencies between any of the value add solutions, you want to incorporate as part of the initial project scope along with those you might like to add at any point in the future, and the necessary construction work required to facilitate their integration
  • Prepare comprehensive design documentation that de-risks the project in the following ways:
  • Allows us to set your expectations correctly by fully describing the solutions and systems that we will be installing into your dream home
  • Helps the contractor and any other trades working on your project easily identify the prerequisites that they will need to provide so they can accurately quote for this work
  • Provide you with a comprehensive contract for the delivery of the project, written in plain English, that clearly outlines the scope of work as well as the success criteria used to judge that we have successfully installed your value add solutions

Construction

A trusted partner to deliver your dream home on time & to budget

  • Our thorough design led approach ensures that all the necessary activities required to deliver your value add solutions have been accounted for and incorporated into the project timeline and quoted charges before the work onsite even begins
  • Reducing the risk of having to complete unaccounted for activities ensures that we can adhere to the project timeline and stated price as closely as possible
  • We utilise industry best practises and safe working methodologies to deliver the highest standard of results in line with the estimated time frames allocated for the work
  • All required materials and equipment will be purchased, at least several weeks, ahead of the time they need to be installed to minimise any risks associated with supply chain issues causing delays to work
  • Provide project management services to accurately track, diligently manage and regularly report progress of works

After You Move In

Supporting you to make the most from your home

  • Keeping the dream alive...long into the future!
  • We help you protect and maximise the return from your investment in your dream home by providing you with a comprehensive support service
  • With both proactive support as well as reactive support services we minimise the chance of technical issues affecting the performance of your value add solutions
  • Our 24x7 monitoring service combined with the ability for our service desk to remotely connect to your home service enables fast incident response times  

Value Add Solutions

The following examples are just some of the types of solutions, we can install, which would add value to your dream home.

Layered Home Security

Intruder deterrence is better than detection

  • A single security solution protecting your home is better than no security at all
  • Whereas a security system with layers of technologies deployed in zones, from the boundary of the property back to core rooms/areas within your home, provides the best type of defence
  • Security value add solutions we can implement at your home include:
  • Sensors at the boundary of your home that detect incursions on to your property
  • Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) systems that can trigger the opening of your property’s motorised gates after detecting a license plate number from a list of approved numbers
  • Intercom/Access systems at your driveway gates for visitors to use
  • CCTV solutions that can correctly identify and alert the presence of a person or car, in the camera’s field of view, these can eliminate false positive motion alerts from other elements that pass in front of the camera
  • Exterior security lighting that can be triggered to switch on by either motion or in response to other events such as the pressing of the intercom button at the boundary gates or even due to a person approaching the gates
  • Window/Door contact sensors that detect if the door or window is open or closed
  • A Smart Home system would also allow us to integrate the following types of elements in your home to respond to security alerts providing an enhanced level of deterrence due to the ability to mimic presence in the property even when no-one is home:
  • Window Curtains/Blinds opening closing
  • Interior light turning on/off
  • Televisions turning on/off
  • Audio playing on internal/external speakers e.g., music or even the sound of dogs barking
  • With the ability to check remotely with a mobile phone, the status of all the security systems above, when you are away from your property
  • The level of insurance cover you require will often mean that your insurance company will specifically dictate the grade level of security equipment you require for that coverage amount...we can provide suitable graded equipment for most scenarios
  • We can provide a dedicated 24x7 intruder alarm monitoring service that has ability to escalate incidents to Police (if required)

Zoned Heating/Cooling

Customised temperature control unique to each individual room

  • Customised temperature control unique to each individual room
  • People are now looking beyond the typical single thermostat, often located in a hallway, being the device that regulates the central heating systems and sets the same temperature for all the rooms in the entire house
  • Increasingly people now want a thermostat located in each room providing more accurate feedback of the temperature in that actual room
  • Combined with the ability to regulate the heating/cooling in that specific room providing a completely zoned approach to temperature control  
  • Living in a home with zoned heating/cooling is a more comfortable experience
  • A zoned solution also helps to lower your gas/electricity bills as you will only be heating/cooling those rooms you use when you use them
  • It is also a significantly more environmentally friendly approach

Home Working Solutions

Better home data networks

  • Endless online conference calls and streamed content to the latest corporate announcements/training course are stretching most home networks to and sometimes beyond breaking point
  • Having several strategically placed hard wired data network points, on the wall in convenient locations around your home, creating a robust and reliable connection to the Internet should be considered almost essential for any home
  • With the reliance on home Wi-Fi networks to connect our mobile devices to the Internet removing those annoying and frustrating Wi-Fi dead spots, that leave you tethered to that one location in your home where the Wi-Fi signal actual works, has never been more important
  • We can help you implement a reliable hard wired home network around your home as well as implement a robust Wi-Fi network that reaches the far ends of your home and garden

Garden Office

Your garden…the best commute to work...ever!

  • Working from home, during the current COVID-19 situation, presents challenges for those without spaces in their existing home that can be used for work purposes
  • A garden office can provide a location away from the noise and distractions in your home where you can concentrate on work
  • It also promotes a better work life balance, as it provides a distinct separation between work and personal life, where you can close your work device at the end of the normal working day, shut the office door and head back into your home
  • It also drastically cuts the time, costs and stresses typically involved with a normal daily commute
  • It also means you are not too far from home in case of emergency or to be able to receive that delivery from your latest online order
  • We have experience in ensuring that the garden office enjoys the same levels of Internet and Wi-Fi connectivity as the main property ensuring a great connection to work Zoom or Teams online conference calls
  • The correct type of lighting to promote a healthy working environment is also essential, although often overlooked, we can provide you with lighting solutions that support your body’s natural circadian rhythm and are designed specifically for illuminating a work desk/area 

Garden Games Room/Home Cinema Room

Your own private members home entertainment venue

  • With the current COVID-19 situation, adding a games room or home cinema room to the garden of a property has never been more popular
  • We can also ensure that any games room/home cinema room has epic levels of entertainment functionality

  • We can also supply the best games room equipment, ranging from; Pool tables, Arcade machines, Pin ball machines, Table football, air hockey, table tennis, shuffleboards, darts equipment to many other cool items to provide the total entertainment package

Make Your Garden An Extra Room

Increase the number of rooms in your home without building an extension

  • We can help you free the potential of your garden or patio space to become an epic extra room in your home
  • Be that by creating an enjoyable space to entertain your family and friends or creating a tranquil setting where you can escape from hustle and bustle inside the house
  • For music lovers we can help bridge the divide between the inside and out...add an extra zone to your home entertainment with discreet weatherproof speakers to bring your favourite music outside
  • Perhaps by providing a unique way to get together, in the fresh air and sunshine, to watch the deluge of major sporting events taking place over the next few months
  • The enjoyment of the outside spaces at your home should not only be limited to daylight hours, we can help you extend the usage of your garden into the late evening long after the sun has set, with the right type of outdoor lighting and heating solutions

Improve Your Home’s Curb Appeal

First impressions count

  • A well-lit exterior of a property really can accentuate the appearance of your home
  • Combined with motorised driveway gates for access control for that next level of desirability and security
  • With the added convenience of automatically activated lights as you drive up or onto your driveway or in your parking area as you load/unload your car

Add That Wow Factor

You deserve nothing but the best in your dream home…right?

  • How about adding a wow factor element that also provides a major talking point?
  • Here are just a few wow factor ideas:
  • An outdoor television that appears to come up from inside the ground and then unfolds into an amazingly large display or a television that appears from behind a panel on a wall or from underneath a bed
  • A projector that drops down from the ceiling or where the image is projected into the room and onto the screen via a mirror that opens on a motorised hinge mechanism mounted in the wall/ceiling
  • An immersive home gym/fitness studio where the front and both sides walls have content beamed directly onto them placing you in the middle of the action
  • Your own dedicated golf virtual driving range where all the family can play no matter the weather outside or time of day
  • Seats, in your movie watching space, that move and vibrate in perfect synchronised time with the content you are watching elevating the experience to a whole new level
