Architect Partnering, CPD Training and Consultancy

Automated Smart Homes are experts in smart home automation, from multi-room video, multi-room audio and telephone data networks through to complete home security with co-ordinated HVAC and lighting control systems. We specialise in architect partnering on commercial projects and smart home residential developments, so whether you’re home architects or architects working on a commercial design & build project we slot neatly into your construction timetable.

RIBA lists Automated Smart Homes in its RIBA Product Selector, recognising our CEDIA-certified design and installation status. Not only do we work with home architects to integrate smart home automation from the earliest pre-construction design stages, but we provide a complete consultancy and CPD training service to ensure the architect’s team has a full understanding of smart home delivery. The RIBA Product Selector is a seal of approval which confirms our experience and expertise in architect home automation partnering and CPD training.

Whatever the procurement method, be it design & build for a commercial project or a fully designed property refurbishment and renovation, we like to get involved at the earliest stages. Depending on the complexity and focal points of your project we help in the initial appraisal, design briefs and concept designs; and provide detailed information to help architect and contractor submit comprehensive bid and tender documentation.

How we work:

We provide the design team with:

• A functionality specification for each room

• A cable schedule for every cable to be used in the installation

• Colour coded cable schematics illustrating all connectivity using structured cabling

• Plan drawings overlaid onto architectural plans where available

• Elevation and custom cabinet drawings

• Touch screen layouts and designs

Our CPD training ensures your design team is up to speed with every aspect of our smart home automation design, which is of course carried out only by CEDIA certified engineers. We maintain open and two-way communication at all times with architects, interior designers, electricians and project managers to ensure that your supply chain is always kept informed.

It doesn’t end there. We test every function of the installation thoroughly and participate in the post-practical completion period to ensure best practice on any future design and installation. Every aspect of the smart home installation, whether it’s a multi-room installation carrying multi-room video and multi-room audio; a straightforward home cinema installation or various media centres; telephone data networks; full HVAC control system or a home security system working in tandem with a lighting control system, is provided with quality documentation and demonstrated to the home architect and the future occupiers.
