Core technology capabilities
Systems that work together.
From a single system upgrade to a full estate, we plan how the network, sound, security, lighting and backup power will work together.
02 / Distributed sound
Sonos whole-home audio
Play different music in each room or group indoor and outdoor zones. We plan speaker placement, wiring and controls for the way you listen and entertain.
03 / Security technology
Custom surveillance & access
Design camera views around gates, entries and driveways. Plan local recording, retention and user access, with gate and intercom integration where needed.
04 / Architectural lighting
Custom lighting design
Plan fixture placement, lighting layers and keypad scenes with your design team. Integrate Lutron RadioRA 3 and Triathlon shades for daily routines and daylight control.
05 / Power resilience
Whole-home generator planning
Coordinate with your licensed electrical contractor on standby generator integration. We identify which network, surveillance, gate and control systems need UPS ride-through during transfer.
06 / AV & control
Custom theaters & integrated AV
Plan home theaters, discreet display installs, equipment racks and simple control. For commercial spaces, we also design conference-room AV and connected displays.

From planning and integration to programming and commissioning.
Plan a Lutron projectPlanning · procurement · handoff
Know what goes into your system.
We work with owners, architects and builders to resolve wiring, equipment and access decisions early. At handoff, you know what was installed and how to operate it.
Plan before walls close
Coordinate cable pathways, rack locations, lighting controls and device placement with the design and build team. Plan spare pathways where future access will be limited.
NDAA Section 889 sourcing
When a project specifies Section 889, we help review proposed surveillance and network equipment by exact model against the applicable contract requirements and collect available manufacturer documentation for procurement review.
A documented handoff
Agree on what to test and document up front. Depending on scope, the handoff can include labeled cabling, coverage and failover checks, an equipment inventory, and an owner walkthrough.
Where we work
Technology for the way each site works.
From a custom residence to a shared commercial facility, we plan systems around the people, operations and infrastructure on site.
Custom residences
Integrated networks, lighting, security and entertainment for custom homes and estates.
Commercial properties
Business networks, surveillance, access control, AV and communications for commercial sites.
Institutions & communities
Coordinated technology infrastructure for HOAs, public facilities and shared environments.
Systems planned as one.
From planning to commissioning
Engineered systems. Coordinated delivery.
We work with owners, builders and project teams to translate technology needs into coordinated plans, clean installations and systems that are ready to use.
01
Assess & design
We map requirements, pathways, equipment locations and the systems that need to work together.
