choose your services
smart SERVICES
Any smart home will require you to make decisions and choose which services you want to have available in each room of your home. We recommend any new build, conversion, or renovation includes infrastructure for cable, digital TV, radio, broadband and WiFi.
Identify incoming services as well as in home services
Plan your services by thinking about the end goal of your home room by room
COMPLETE THE FLOOR PLAN
add to floor plan
With only a basic floor plan it is possible to plan which services you need prior to the design or installation stage. Think about where would you like a television, in which rooms do you listen to music, where do you want security cameras and how do you want to interact with your technology.
Sample floor plan
CREATE A ROOM BY ROOM LIST
grouping by room
Create a list of equipments planned for each room. Whilst design changes can happen on-site during a project, these will always be based on the initial design. Multiple changes on-site due to lack of planning only serve to slow the installation process and add cost to your smart home plan.

not to forget
Different incoming services enter the property from different locations, but all should end in a common location within the property. You will need space for any equipment that will be centrally stored and for cabling infrastructure to run from this location. Experts at Smartech can help you identify the best location with good ventilation, heat and noice management.
