The best smart home installations are decided before a single cable goes in. 1install's process is built around proper consultation and design work up front - not an off-the-shelf install, but a system designed for the property and the people living in it.
Why it matters
Future-proofing. We design modular, scalable systems on Crestron, Control4, Lutron and Rako - built to grow and adapt, rather than a fixed one-off build that's obsolete the moment your needs change.
Avoiding expensive pitfalls. A poor install means unreliable systems, messy cabling, incompatible devices and missing documentation - and fixes typically run 20-80% of the cost of the original install. Getting the design right the first time avoids all of it.
Integrating every element. Lighting, audio, video, network, security and shading are designed to work as one system, not fight each other as separate installations bolted together.
Proper documentation. Every cable, connection and device is labelled and mapped - so future work, whether by us or anyone else, starts from a clear record rather than guesswork.
Our process
- Initial consultation - understanding the property and how you actually want to live in it.
- Detailed system design - network, lighting, AV distribution and control logic, planned as one system.
- Full documentation - every element specified and recorded before installation begins.
1install has been designing and installing smart home technology since 2007 - 19 years of platform expertise, a strong track record rescuing poorly installed systems (see Upgrades), and long-term support once the work is done.
