During the design stage, we spend a great deal of time learning about our client's lifestyle and how each space in the home is intended to be used. This ensures that we design a whole home system that's tailored to each client. We also discuss the blending of home technology to your home’s design aesthetic, working closely with you, the home builder, designer and architect. In our design and planning stage, we confirm that we have included future wiring needs in the electrical plans. We also like to spend this time discussing preliminary lighting scenes for each task in every room of the project.

During the construction phase of the project, we begin pulling wire to locations designated on the plans, and move to installation of the equipment in later phases of the build. At Bright Home Systems, we have consistent job site walkthroughs to ensure that every aspect of the install is going smoothly. From checking for buried wire at drywall stage, lighting placement and proactive wire testing, we work hard to minimize hiccups throughout the build.

At the possession stage, we refine the installation and programming for the home automation system. We spend a great deal of time ensuring that the programming of the system is both easy to use and intuitive. We get really specific about lighting scenes, quick touch buttons (ex. for favourite music) and automated sequences. This is when the magic of home automation is realized! At this stage of the project, we can program one-touch buttons that dim the lights, play a relaxing playlist, turn on the fireplace, and lower the shades. The options for programming a home automation system are virtually limitless, so we use our expertise to guide our clients to choices that suit their lifestyles best.

In typical construction projects, most trades are finished their work when the build is complete and keys are handed over to the client. At Bright Home Systems, we care that our home automation systems are delivering maximum benefit to our clients year-round.  We do seasonal walk-throughs to ensure your system is functioning optimally and make sure the installed technology is up-to-date. We also use these walk-throughs to make adjustments to programming (such as increasing the dim level of the morning lighting scenes during the winter months to allow more task lighting, or adjusting landscape audio presets for summer months). 

Our systems grow and change over time, and we are committed to supporting them for the lifetime of your home.
