Convenience and simplicity are among the greatest joys of modern living. No matter how small the innovation, if it makes our clients’ lives easier, we will do our part to incorporate it into a project. Smart technology allows homeowners to fully personalise their space and create a set of systems and routines fully tailored to their own preferences and tastes. A well-engineered and not overly complicated smart home gives people an environment with unprecedented functionality, puts homeowners squarely in the driver’s seat, and ensures that every amenity is well within reach.
Of course, not everyone cares to equip their homes with the latest technologies. But for those who do, Integral Constructions oversees our renovation projects and new builds with an eye for integrating smart technology features. These include but are not limited to plumbing, heating and ventilation controls, alarms, lighting, audio-visual tech, door entry systems, automated blinds and other innovations. If you would like every appliance or fixture operable from your phone or smart device, we’re here to make that a reality.
1. Smart Lighting Designs
Your lighting setup is essential to the overall design of your home. It sculpts the architecture and influences the mood you will inhabit for so many hours of your life. Lighting manufacturers offer a range of lighting products which are not only beautiful but also energy efficient. Integral Constructions invites you to explore an exciting array of options. Your system could be sophisticated enough to mimic natural lighting when you wake up in the morning and then alter itself to help you wind down in the evenings.
Not only it’s critical to select and install all the light fittings correctly, but you also want them set up to work in conjunction with your other Smart technology so they’re easy to operate long into the future. Smart lighting control adds comfort, convenience, and security to any home. With the touch of a button, you can turn off all the lights when leaving the house. You can also use your lighting to set the scene for any occasion, deploying a spectrum of combinations and brightnesses of the light fittings. You’ll give yourself the ability to control your lights right alongside your music, TV, blinds, thermostats, air conditioners, or even garage door—all from a customisable keypads, dimmers, switches, touchpads, or any other smart device.
2. Home Entertainment
What’s more satisfying than sitting down in the living room and merely speaking the request, “Siri, please close the curtains, switch off the lights, and start a movie”? Imagine a fully controlled environment with perfectly calibrated temperature and ventilation, great colours, and sound from a state-of-the-art audio-visual system.
Depending on the ambience and entertainment overlay you’re envisioning, you can put in a surround sound system for your entertainment room or even wire your entire house for sound using plastered-in, invisible speakers. Then, with a simple touch of the screen from any of your smart devices, you can remotely connect to any of the speakers in your house and request your preferred playlist, creating an ideal atmosphere. The possibilities are endless.
3. Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioners (HVAC)
Your HVAC systems are crucial factors that contribute to your health and comfort. Smart thermostats, fine dust sensors, water pressure and water flow sensors can dramatically impact your daily life by monitoring the temperature, humidity, and water activity within your home. To remain mindful of what you’re breathing and ingesting, you can take advantage of air filtration and ventilation features that prevent airborne pollutants from becoming concentrated within your home.
Furthermore, looking toward the future, with rising energy prices and increasing ecological concerns, it’s important that every system in the home be geared toward energy efficiency. Smart thermostats, valves, actuators, and energy-efficient smart meters will save you significant money in the long run by ensuring that you never expend more water or electricity than necessary.
4. Security and Fire Alarms Systems
Your smart security system may range from standard features like automated locks and a doorbell camera to more extensive and elaborate alerts, alarms, and video feeds. Whatever security setup you’re looking to include in and around your home, Integral Constructions can walk you through your options and work with you to make them happen. We frequently install sensors, camera lighting, and high-powered spotlights made for home protection and crime prevention.
Naturally, our team will consult with you about essentials like smoke and fire alarms and carbon monoxide detectors. We can also review valuable technologies like panic buttons that call the police if you’re ever in danger inside your home. Additionally, other new forms of technology give you the ability to monitor your property when you’re away from it. If desired, we can equip you to observe and manage your home at all hours of the day from any place in the world.
After discussion with our clients to map out the specs of their new home or renovation, we will consult with architects and technology pros to finalise a home design that is optimised for the technology you wish to incorporate. This is a highly detailed planning phase that involves pinpointing where your outlets and wiring will be placed and laying the infrastructure the features will require.
As we begin refurbishment on a particular property, we continue consulting with our technology partners as necessary to guarantee that each element of your smart home setup is properly connected and communicating across each of its components. We test each feature and device and precisely calibrate them for ongoing long-term use. As time passes, we’re on hand to assist with any maintenance or updates that require structural expertise. Reach out to us with any questions or concerns related to your smart technology needs. We look forward to speaking with you.
