We can meet with you and your clients at our show apartment to help them understand more about what is possible with their home. We can also demonstrate any systems that we recommend and help in the decision making process.

> Play with the £30k of kit yourself
Of course it wouldn't be fun if you couldn't play with the equipment yourself! We let you play the system as much as you want, asking questions as you go to make sure you learn as much as possible from the experience.
 
Home automation documentation

All our designers draw straight onto your CAD drawings, working from a simple to understand legend. This ensures proper change management and avoids any potential headaches from occurring when we get out onto site.

> Detailed cable schedules
We provide fully colour coded, easy to understand cable schedules to the electrical contractor. This schedule lists every cable that needs to be run along with termination instructions combined with a simple numbering system.

> Comprehensive handover documents
To support the schematics and cable schedule we provide detailed instructions to the contractor on best practice for running and labeling cables. We also meet with the contractor throughout the process guiding them wherever necessary.
