Are you planning to build a new home? If so, you should consider incorporating smart home planning into the design of your new build. Building a new home and making it truly your own is an exciting step.  

A smart home is a property where electrical devices and appliances can be controlled via Bluetooth or remotely over the internet. It gives you the ability to easily schedule when your heated towel rail turns on and off, or even control your lights from your phone while you're away.  

Incorporating a smart and intuitive home, is a home more comfortable and more energy efficient! We’re here to help you discover the incredible possibilities for unlocking your home’s potential. 

One of the top benefits of smart home planning is energy efficiency. With smart technology, lights or appliances aren't left on unnecessarily, cutting down on power costs and environmental impacts. Reducing energy use in your home doesn’t mean sacrificing comfort. You can also control your home from a single app on your smartphone or tablet, making it super easy to access whenever and wherever you are.
