Planning
The planning phase is the first step in designing the system of your dreams that matches the needs of you and your family. Our design professionals want to hear your desires and the requirements of your design team (architect, interior designer, etc…). Along with input from their design team, they establish a clear understanding of what options are available to you and their costs. A properly designed system can actually save you money and time during the process. They pride themselves on listening to your needs and achieving the goals of your project.

Design
Our professionals posses a range of expertise, which encompasses the full range of electronic and electrical systems. This enables them to comprehensively plan and design your system to ensure the utmost in performance, simplicity and safety. With the aid of CAD software, they develop flow diagrams and detailed layouts for the system and wiring. They consider all of the details, from the size of the room and the proper seating arrangements to the selection of audio and video equipment, room lighting, HVAC, power and safety requirements – and all electronic and electrical systems. Once the design is complete, they review it with you to verify it meets your expectations and the needs of each member of your project team.

Engineering
The engineers are experts in home technologies and how systems integrate with each other. Regardless of the size or complexity of a system’s design, detailed engineering is needed to ensure a 100% functional and reliable system. Every system designed and installed is completely engineered on paper then assembled in an integration facility. They test the system thoroughly, break in all pertinent electronics, and program the control system before a single piece of gear is installed in your home. This process is done to ensure a complete working system from the very first day you use it and greatly reduces the time they spend in your home.

Programming
Their thoughtfully designed and ultra simple interfaces are created with your needs in mind. Open protocol programming language enables them to talk to systems on your terms, not how each manufacturer determines you should control their product. The programming of systems and interfaces such as touchpanel, keypads, PDA’s and computers is solely based on your individual requirements. You play an integral role of the interface design and approve each page prior to final development.

Project Management
An essential function to the success of any project is how it is managed. A constant presence on the job site is invaluable – not only to you, but to your contractors. The behind the scenes coordination is what distinguishes our network referred contractor’s project management skills. It is vital that the architect, designer, foreman and contractors are all working towards the same goal. Their constant communication ensures everyone understands the scope of the project, their role, and time frames for completion.

Installation
Often the most scrutinized element of the process, great installation craftsmanship is the hallmark of all our network of referred professionals. The quality of your installation is determined by the people working on your project. From licensed electricians, to architects, designers and certified technicians, great care and pride is taken during each phase of installation. They use the best materials, tools and installation methods. Particular attention is paid to professionalism in working with other trades in your project.

Training
Training is not simply about teaching people how to press buttons. Our contractor’s see it as their job to make your system operate as if it were your second nature. They create a relaxed and informal training environment where the emphasis is on communication, not technology. All participants are encouraged to get hands on with the equipment, ask questions and feel totally relaxed.
Their training departments are made up of technically knowledgeable training professionals, not engineers and technicians. Their skill is getting participants to relate to the system. The faster you experience all the magic of your system, the faster you’ll enjoy a happy return on your investment.

Service
Whether your project is being designed, engineered, installed or has reached completion, your satisfaction is a priority. All network professional’s are committed to ensure the integrity of your systems by providing in-home service, video calibration and upgrades as needed. In addition to maintaining your system, they are capable of providing service on systems designed by other companies. They are also available to complete a project mid-stream should the circumstance arise.
