Pre-Wire
According to the Consumer Electronics Association and the National Association of Home Builders, pre-wiring for security, high speed communications, entertainment and smart home automation can increase a home’s selling price by as much as 5%.
As an example; a $5,000 investment in pre-wiring a $500,000 condo stands to gain a $20,000 R.O.I.
Stand out among the competition by wiring for smart home technology.
Modern home builders who build homes wired for modern technologies sell more homes faster than their competition.
The NY Times reports, wiring for smart home technology drastically increases the marketability of a property.
Many realtors report the increased desire for energy efficient homes. Smart thermostats & integrated lighting controls are the two most popular components to reducing a home’s carbon footprint. The Sheldon Group reports, 80% of home buyers surveyed said the home’s energy efficiency effected their buying decision.
The most attractive aspect of a pre-wired home is the ability to gradually install home subsystems. A new homeowner can build the Smart Home of their dreams over time, adding new subsystems as his/her lifestyle changes and their budget allows.
By wiring for security, high speed communication and home automation you increase the appeal of each unit and make a strongest impression. Distinguishing your property from others on the market is essential in selling quickly and getting the price you want.
** Smart homes are no longer a niche luxury market. According to Realtor Magazine, Americans who make $50,000 – $100,000 annually are looking for smart home technologies as much as more affluent homebuyers.
Access Control
An Access Control system is a building’s first and most important security feature. HD cameras, two- way communication, smart- phone alerts, limited access fobs or numeric codes make admit- ting guests and receiving packages easy while giving residents total peace of mind. Added convenience that drastically improves a tenant’s lifestyle.
Sleek and stylish components with user-friendly interfaces drastically increase the curb appeal of a multi-family dwelling. Whether developing condos or rental units, think of the access control system as the building’s calling card.
The access control system is the first impression a building makes. Set your building apart with a modern, stylish and fully functional access control system, intercom, letterbox and doorbell.
The technology & design should blend seamlessly. Modern access control stations make a statement about the building, make residents feel safe and make their life easier.
Admit guests, dog walkers, cleaning services, repairmen and accept deliveries from upstairs, across town or while on vacation. High-res cameras with two-way communication give you the option to answer the doorbell from anywhere.
