Before the Walls Are Sealed & Finished, Plan for Home Automation

If you’re building a new home or undergoing a renovation, and you’d like to include a smart home system, don’t wait until construction is complete. Many homeowners assume smart technology is an add-on they can do later, like choosing paint colors or furniture.

But ideally, you should be planning to incorporate a smart system from the very beginning of your project.

Below, we’ll share why early smart home design is essential and how working with a professional can make all the difference.
