A smart home design your tender can stand on.

$7,000 fixed full tender-ready package

Independent by design

Loyal to your project. Not to a brand.

Here's what usually happens: the architect asks an integrator to "design" the smart home. The integrator specifies the brands they're a dealer for — and talks down everything else. Not because the other products are worse, but because if the project goes that way, they lose it. The design brief quietly becomes a sales brief.

We're the alternative. Our engineers have designed and commissioned every major platform on projects around the world — Dynalite, KNX, C-Bus, Lutron, Control4, Savant, Niagara, and the networking, AV and security that binds them. We hold no dealerships and sell no hardware, so the system in your spec is the one that's right for the architecture, the budget and the client. Nothing else.

Platform-agnostic specification — chosen on merit, never on margin
Worldwide experience, Australian delivery — global project know-how, documented to AS/NZS standards and local trade practice
Standards built in — AS/NZS 3000 and platform limits validated by our design engine
Genuinely comparable tenders — one scope, priced like-for-like by any integrator

Everything the tender needs. Nothing it doesn't.

One fixed fee covers the complete documentation set for a residential smart home — ready to issue with your architectural package.

/01

Lighting & control design

Circuiting, dimming methods, DALI universes, keypad locations and engraving schedules, scene logic — resolved room by room with the interior design intent.

/02

Automation, AV & comfort

Audio-visual distribution, motorised blinds and climate integration — specified to work as one system, not a collection of apps.

/03

Network & security infrastructure

Structured cabling, WiFi coverage, CCTV and access — the invisible backbone sized properly the first time.

/04

Full documentation set

Marked-up drawings, schedules, technical specification and bill of materials — issued so any qualified contractor can price and build it.

/05

Standards validation

Every circuit and channel checked against AS/NZS 3000 and platform capacity rules by the Cindra design engine before it leaves us.

/06

Tender support

We help you compare the returned prices like-for-like and answer integrator questions during the tender period.

Who we work with

Built for the people running the project.

Architects

A technology package that respects the architecture — documented to slot straight into your tender set, with no supplier agenda attached.

Interior designers

Keypads, fittings and finishes coordinated with your palette and joinery — technology that disappears into the design instead of fighting it.

Builders & developers

A fixed, comparable scope that de-risks the most misquoted trade on the job — priced properly before contracts are signed.

Pricing

One fee. No surprises.

A full tender-ready design for a typical residential project is a $7,000 fixed fee, quoted and confirmed before we start. Larger or multi-residence projects are quoted the same way — a fixed number upfront, never an hourly meter.

Quoted within one business day of seeing your drawings and brief
Revisions included — the design isn't done until it's right
No lock-in — the documentation is yours, tender it to anyone

0.2%

That's what $7,000 is on a $3 million build. A fraction of a percent — for a neutral expert who designs the technology properly and holds your hand all the way through tender.
