Integrate echo friendly technology requirements in your home design

Our professional assessment will help you and the architectural team to create homes with the latest echo friendly technology features required, included in the design.  It is necessary that the latest technology thinking is part of the design of the house and not an afterthought that spoils the looks and aesthetics of the house.  By optimally planning for future technology enhancements the design and building process can cater for the basic elements to ensure a faster and overall integrated fit.  This integration of technology into the home design and building process can save significant amounts in itself and will further avoid some of the cost and save time should these enhancements later be added to a building.  From our 20+ years in technology design and deployment and the latest research in the smart home technologies we will ensure your customers  get  an independent  technology-neutral future proof plan to build with peace of mind.  As a member of the Green Building Council of South Africa with professional accreditation in new and existing building Green Star rating tools the latest echo friendly business models are used to ensure an environmental and economical sustainable development.

Technology Features

In today’s society technology is playing a huge role in making our lives easier, fun and convenient.  Echo friendly technology has become a need in every household and is no longer a luxury.  When these features are integrated to the home environment  it is used more and therefore increase its value and enjoyment. Typical technology features that are essential to cater for in a house includes broadband and media connectivity everywhere, automation and security, power redundancy, energy efficiency and water utilisation.  These technology infrastructure components can blend in with the house and only its effect and function will surround you and satisfy the needs without the clutter of technology so often seen when added later.  You will have the best value of the technology installed and the lowest impact on the environment.

Included with the assessment

Package includes a proposal to direct the designer, architect, builder and specialised contractor to integrate the technology options into the design, optimise system efficiency and reduce cost and time to install.  It is important to  get our technology and supplier independent view since it will ensure integration of all aspects.  The technology specific designs should come after the  overall high level technology assessment and proposal.

Energy Efficiency and Environmental Impact

Water utilisation and energy consumption are factors we associate with being friendly to the environment.  In South Africa it is such a precious resource that we must conserve and we have to plan for not only reducing our consumption but also ensuring we continue living comfortably during periods when utility power or water may be interrupted.  An installation planned correctly will also reduce payback period and increase the economic value.

Secure the Investment

Provide the owner/developer with the comfort that their investments value will increase with an independent  technology proposal that will future proof the design.  Building costs are high and not recoverable if alterations need to be made.  It is crucial to bring all aspects into the design phase of the house and plan for design functionality, energy conservation and environmental impact.  The integration of technology options at the design time will reduce the cost of technology and future installation, it will optimise the efficiency of those technology additions and therefore creates a positive return from the onset.  Typically some power, communications and water optimisation additions to a house can cost R200k and if the efficiency of that installation can be optimised by 15% the effective saving is an immediate R30k! - to name but one example.
