Hey everyone, we hope you’re doing well! Our crew has been super busy working on some pretty cool remote projects with some of the nicest views of the ocean you can imagine, and it’s been a good one so far.
This month we’re talking about a hot topic in the home construction world: smart technology. It’s been a staple in most new builds that we’ve been doing to help maximize home efficiency, save money, and, of course, bring unparalleled convenience to your household.
So, let’s dive into how technology is being integrated in new homes, what to consider, and some benefits if you’re looking to build a smart home.
STAYING CONNECTED
Automation is the name of the game now when it comes to smart home construction. Long gone are the days of conventional new builds – with technology as advanced as it is today, one can now automate and control their lights, appliances, thermostat, and more with a simple voice command or tap of a button on their phone.
No matter what you’re looking to automate, our team is well-experienced in all things smart technology. We’ll make your vision happen to give you the convenience you deserve.
SUSTAINABILITY
The biggest topic in new home construction, especially here in BC; smart home technology can significantly reduce your carbon footprint and save you money on your energy bills.
How? Smart home devices learn your usage patterns, so they will automate and shut off when certain things aren’t in use, as well use intelligent thermostats so it’s only used when you’re at home.
MORE MONEY IN YOUR POCKET
It’s been proven that utility bills go down significantly when automating your home to smart technology, which is amazing and can, on average, save you about 8% on your bills.
The other half of this is about giving your home future value if you intend to sell. The scalable systems will help to adapt to evolving technology trends so your property stays up-to-date for years to come.
ADVANCED SECURITY
Security is probably one of the biggest pros to smart-home technology as it provides you, the homeowner, with ample peace-of-mind and protection from threats such as burglaries.
Smart locks, surveillance with a live feed to your device, motion sensors, alarm systems that allow you to check in even when you’re on vacation, and more, are a big reason families across the country integrate these into their new home.
Technology is going to continue to advance at a rapid pace, which means that a majority of newer builds will be fully equipped with advanced technology to give your family comfort, efficiency, security, and more money in your pocket.
