Architects Should Embrace Home Technology

In the modern age more and more people are becoming tech savvy, they embrace new technology and want to be on the cutting edge of the latest trends. When it comes to home automation / smart home technology there is no doubting there is real value given its ability to send security alerts, implement a heating schedule, drastically reduce energy bills and complete personal commands (e.g. turn all lights off at once).

Smart home technology has a big role to play in current and future home build projects, as advocated by David Myers, Associate Director of ADAM Architecture who highlighted the importance of collaboration in CEDIA Communicates Magazine:

“At the heart of every great project are the three c’s – communication, collaboration and coordination. Almost invariably, the most successful projects combined the technical expertise of a home technology professional, with the design knowledge and implementation of other consultants, including an interior designer, architect and/or lighting designer.”

Collaborating with the right consultants allows for efficient communication between all parties, particularly if appointed early as this ensures no stone is left unturned. Consultants are able to work together from the start and consider all aspects and anticipate key decisions which ultimately helps to avoid any unnecessary unpicking. Additionally, one consultant may have an idea that a customer loves which, otherwise, would not have been considered.

A smart home technology company / consultant will add real value to a home build project by updating the site drawings from a cabling perspective, which is valuable to all parties concerned. A smart home technology company will also offer expertise to a customer who wants advice and recommendations with new technology.

If you are involved in the home build industry and want to partner with a reliable smart home technology company then we would love to hear from you!
