What it costs.

We do not publish a price list. What we can tell you is what drives the number, what a scope contains, and how you get a fixed, written price.

The question we get

Can you give me a rough figure over the phone?

Not one that would be any use. The number depends on the size of the building, how many rooms get which systems, which lighting platform suits the house, and whether the walls are still open. Tell us those, and you get a written scope and a price rather than a ballpark.

What sets the price.

  • The size of the building, and how many rooms are in scope
  • Which systems go in which rooms
  • Which lighting platform the house suits
  • Whether the walls are open, or cable has to be run through finished walls and patched
  • How much of the wiring and the electrical panels is new
  • Backup power, battery storage and energy monitoring, if they are in scope
  • The network, which the other systems run on

A written scope with one price.

Scope and price in one document

You get the rooms, the systems and the devices in one document, with the number against them.

What you receive.

Drawn before it is priced

The lighting and load plan comes first, so the panel schedule is drawn against the real fixture and device list rather than a rule of thumb. Fewer surprises at trim-out.

Why the number holds.

Support is priced separately

A Bronze care plan is included with every system. Silver, Gold and Diamond are annual plans, quoted on their own.

After handover.

How we reach a price.

01

You tell us the project

Property, rooms, systems, stage and timeline. Enough to know whether it is one room or a whole building.

02

We look at the drawings

A site visit or a call over the plans, with the architect or the builder if they are appointed.

03

We draw the lighting and load plan

The panel schedule is drawn against the real fixture and device list, not a rule of thumb.

04

We write the scope and price it

Room by room, system by system.

05

You hold the document

The scope is the reference for the work, and for anything added to it later.
