Technology planning starts before the walls do. A short conversation at the foundation stage prevents conduit from being poured in the wrong place or left out entirely.
What to plan before the pour so nothing gets buried in the wrong place.
Framing is the single best window to build technology into the walls instead of onto them. Once insulation goes in, options narrow fast.
The last easy chance to plan for hidden technology instead of surface-mounted technology.
The electrician's scope and the integrator's scope overlap constantly. Getting them talking early avoids rework later.
Where circuits, panels, and low-voltage runs have to line up exactly.
Rack equipment and ductwork are both competing for the same chase space. Coordinating early keeps both systems working the way they should.
Equipment generates heat and needs airflow — plan for it before it becomes a service call.
This is the highest-leverage checkpoint in the entire build. Once drywall goes up, every wire, box, and conduit run is out of sight.
The last chance to see inside the walls before they close for good.
If you only build one checkpoint into your builder's schedule, make it this one. A pre-drywall walkthrough with your Luxury Technology Advisor catches problems while they still cost minutes to fix, not walls to reopen. Schedule a consultation before your framing is complete.
Trim-out is where programming and testing meet finish carpentry. Everything should work exactly as designed before the family moves in.
Where trim-out, programming, and testing come together before move-in.
The build moves fast. These are the checkpoints where a short call saves a much longer change order later.
The coordination checkpoints The Builder Ready Program™ is built around.
This is the structured cabling backbone every ACT Ready Home™ is designed around. Wireless has its place, but wired is what a luxury build should stand on.
The home runs worth pulling once, correctly, rather than fishing later.
Empty conduit is inexpensive today and expensive to add later. Plan capacity for what the home might need in five or ten years, not just at move-in.
The pathways worth running even before you know exactly what will use them.
The equipment room is where every system in the house actually lives. Plan the space itself, not just the wires feeding it.
A room sized for the system you'll have in five years, not just the one you're installing now.
Equipment rooms get value-engineered down more than almost any other space on a plan set. Before that happens, schedule a consultation to confirm the room still fits what the rest of the home needs it to do.
The final pass before the keys change hands, confirming the whole home works the way it was designed to.
The last checklist before move-in, not the first one after a problem shows up.
