Plan for Your Home’s Technology Before the Walls Close

When most homeowners picture a smart home, they often think about the finished experience: pressing a button to adjust lights across the house, or shades lowering in unison at sunset. What many don’t realize is that the most important work happens long before the devices are installed.

When possible, the best time to plan smart technology is during the design and construction phase. Bringing a technology integrator into the conversation early allows your home to be wired and prepared for automation, entertainment, networking, and security before drywall goes up.

This process is called prewiring, and it lays the foundation for a system that works reliably and discreetly in the background.
