Smart homes are the future of housing — and many of these homes are already here. As our lives become increasingly interwoven with technology, many homeowners now want technology to provide convenience, luxury, and peace of mind while they’re at home. Smart automation lets homeowners transform every space of their property with a push of a button or a single voice command.

This technology has become increasingly popular over time, leading to more homeowners expecting it in their new homes. Builders and developers should be proactive about incorporating smart technology into their designs as it has a positive impact on the salability of future homes.

It’s crucial to hire the right home automation company that can make sure your Springfield, MO, projects will run smoothly and with expertise from start to finish and beyond.

Here are some qualities to look out for when choosing a smart home automation company.

COMPREHENSIVE TECHNOLOGY INSTALLATION EXPERIENCE

When looking for a home automation company to hire, you’ll want to find one with extensive knowledge about audio and video installation and integrated technology work.

3D Smart Homes is a Springfield home automation company that is responsible for all phases of AV and integrated technology work, including needs assessments, system design, engineering, installation, commissioning, training, and service.

Our team has experience in installing a wide range of smart solutions. Whole home audio, home theaters, lighting control, home surveillance, motorized shades, and outdoor entertainment are just some of our offerings.

We also work with industry-leading brands, such as Savant. Many homeowners know Savant and its association with luxury home automation, and we’re proud to be a local Savant dealer that has the expertise to install their top-tier line of home control and automation solutions.

EFFECTIVENESS AND EFFICIENCY, FROM CONCEPT TO COMPLETION

No one wants to work with a company that drags on projects or offers inadequate products.

Our experts at 3D Smart Homes make sure we’re never that company. Our 3D Process involves implementing three phases through the course of a project from concept to completion: discover, design, and deploy. We always provide careful thought and attention to each step that helps builders and developers create tailored solutions.

For the discover phase, we set up a meeting that focuses on the possibilities of what can go into the design of a Springfield smart home. We will determine wants and needs and an initial budget, and make sure the meeting ends with a clearly defined project.

When it comes to the design portion, we help you choose specific products and establish wiring needs. We then begin programming. Once we complete the project, you own the design documents and the program.

Deploying involves installing all the equipment, wiring, and software that was chosen. We also make sure to test everything for functionality, which we handle from our facility.

Our goal is to make the entire experience as effective and efficient as possible, from when we first meet to even after the project is completed. We believe in building lifelong relationships with those we work with, and our staff of smart home installers is available to answer questions for past, current, and future projects.

HTA CERTIFIED

The smart home installer you choose to work with will have a significant impact on the home spaces you design and build. There are many things to consider when selecting an installer — what is their expertise level, reputation, and trustworthiness?
