Design-Build vs. Install-Only
Unlike install-only providers who jump straight to products, our design-build approach emphasizes planning, engineering, documentation, and professional coordination. The result is a system that respects your architecture, safeguards aesthetics, and performs reliably for the long term.

Why Process Matters: Coordination & Documentation
Major residential projects in Utah often include complex variables: mountain climates, legacy renovations, and multi-home living between Salt Lake City and Park City. Our process is built to manage that complexity. From day one, we align with your architect, builder, and interior designer so that technology decisions are made alongside structural and aesthetic choices.
We produce clear drawings, engineering schematics, and device schedules, giving every trade a single source of truth. That documentation keeps sightlines clean, wiring protected, and schedules on track, while creating a service record that supports your home for years. Professional collaboration, meticulous documentation, and accountable project management are how we reduce risk and deliver predictable results.
1. Discovery Process:
Your project begins with a one-on-one conversation where we learn everything about your needs and preferences so we can design a system curated just for you. We’ll take the time to learn about your lifestyle, interests and budget or space constraints. As we learn more, we’ll be able to better tailor the ideal functionality and capabilities for your system.Â

2. System Design:
The next step is translating discovery into a system design aligned to your performance priorities and budget. This proposal gives an overhead explanation of the subsystems for each room. It outlines the features and functionality you can expect from smart home systems, lighting, audio-video, networking, and more. We’ll review it together and integrate your feedback before moving on.
This stage brings clarity to scope and finishes, supports accurate pricing, and lets every trade coordinate locations well before rough-in.
3. Engineering:
Once we have approval on the proposal, we use Computer-Aided Design (CAD) and project drawings to create in-depth documentation for our technicians and trade partners. These plans include hardware models, labor requirements, low-voltage wiring, lighting load specifications, engineering schematics, and rack elevations. By following these plans, we ensure the final project matches the approved design.
Detailed engineering streamlines installation, minimizes surprises, and preserves clean service access for the future.
4. Implementation Process:
At the job site, our staff uses the engineering documentation to lay out low-voltage wiring and device enclosures. Knowing the unique requirements for various subsystems, our technicians expertly install and test all devices to ensure they work as specified in the documentation. Timelines depend on project scope and any approved change orders. Any changes are captured in as-built documentation.
Tight coordination and testing lead to predictable performance and a discreet, finished look.
5. Service & Support:
After installation, we ensure you enjoy a world-class service experience to keep your integrated technology running smoothly for years. Every piece of documentation is retained for future service, manufacturer warranties are honored, and we offer ongoing tech support. We can craft advanced service plans that include 24/7 remote monitoring, network performance tests, and priority response times.
For second homes and legacy properties, our remote support and monitoring help maintain performance even when you’re away, while your documentation and as-builts give our team and your builder or designer clarity for future updates.
FAQs On Our Design-Build Process
Design-build emphasizes planning, engineering, and documentation before products are installed. It reduces risk, protects aesthetics, and delivers predictable performance.
Earlier is better. Involving us during pre-design or schematic phases allows coordination with your architect and builder for wiring, power, and equipment locations.
Yes. Collaboration with interior designers, architects, and builders is part of our process, with shared drawings, device schedules, and regular coordination touchpoints.
We document approved changes and update as-builts so everyone stays aligned, protecting the schedule and final result.
Absolutely! We offer remote monitoring and support designed for Park City second homes and Utah legacy properties.
You’ll have documentation, warranties, and a service plan option for proactive maintenance and priority support over the life of your system.
