New Construction

The construction phase of a new home is the easiest, most cost effective, and logical time to add technology to the home. Before drywall is installed, a wiring foundation for computer networking, audio and video distribution, telephone, and home automation that will "future proof" your home for many years to come can be installed in accordance with the home's overall construction schedule. By designing and installing this technical backbone in these early stages of a home's life, a homeowner can increase his/her options for cost-effective and efficient upgrades and expandability of technology down the road. In addition, the home's overall system functionality and flexibility can be maximized with the proper advanced technology planning.

But what about wireless? Why spend money to wire every room of your house when the rest of the world seems to be moving to wireless technology? It is true: wireless technology continues to become more and more popular, and it will likely continue to increase in popularity as time passes. But fixed-wire solutions are not likely to be completely replaced or outdated any time soon. More importantly, there can be significant trade-offs (e.g., reliability, throughput / data transmission speeds, and security, to name just a few) between wired and wireless technologies that you should be aware of prior to committing to one technology over the other. We believe the two technologies can and should peacefully coexist within your home, and this is merely one of the topics that should be considered and addressed when planning technology for your new construction home.
