Smarthome Technologies
Construction Industry
As a house builder are you conscious that the homes you are building are becoming out of date? Rapid growth in PC ownership and Internet access, working from home and home entertainment systems has confronted the house building industry with one of its greatest challenges for some time.
Smarthome Technologies provides house builders with a comprehensive and cost effective solution that deals with installation and connectivity through to customer satisfaction and all future needs.
As a house builder it is important to keep up to date with needs of prospective buyers.
We offer a solution driven service that ensures your time to market is minimal and steep learning curves are avoided. We take care of all the technicalities and even offer marketing support to ensure your sales teams are equipped to advise your prospective customers of the benefits of a new Networked home.
There are two stages to the installation; the first fix requires your electrician to pull the data and television cable into place. Our engineers can meet your electrician on site and point them in the right direction. This is a free of charge service for sites over 5 homes.
The second fix involves the testing and termination. Our trained installers who are competent in every aspect of Home Networking complete this work.
Case Study
The Life Building Company has taken a totally fresh approach to house construction with an emphasis on building prosperous and energetic neighbourhoods and focusing on the demands of modern living.
The St James Express Lifts site currently being developed in Northampton by the company is a good example of this philosophy. The site was formally an engineering plant used for constructing passenger lifts and was noted for its 500ft testing tower forming and integral part of the Northampton skyline.
The site when completed will contain 413 new homes including some 55 homes for rent in partnership with Home Housing Association. The properties are a mixture of 3 Storey Town Houses and Apartments. The 17-Acre site will also contain public spaces, community areas and Internet Café.
Purchasers are afforded a number of benefits not normally associated with new build properties, including choice of traditional or open plan layouts, community web site, CCTV. Also included in the properties is a Smarthome Network a multi-room, multi-media cabling system, which integrates telephony, computer networking and television. The system can also be used to access ISDN and emerging broadband products like ADSL when available.
The decision to include such a sophisticated system was the increase in technology in the domestic environment such as Cable and Digital TV and multiple computers in the home. These services are required not just in the main room of the house but also frequently in many other rooms. Rooms often have multiple uses. These include home working, home learning and home shopping.
Since the release of the new properties several of the new customers have already expressed a high level of interest in the products with several already planning to use ADSL to enhance communications with their offices and customers. Others have expressed interest in home networking to allow parents and children to share computer peripherals, printers and Internet access. |
