How we work

From first email to final package.

The same disciplined process behind every design and every estimate — fixed fee upfront, our own software in the middle, expert eyes at the end. No mystery at any step.

The process

Five steps. Every project.

1
Send your project

Email or upload your plans and brief — PDF drawings, the spec if there is one, and anything that affects scope. No special format required; we work from what you have.

You → us · 10 minutes of your time
2
Fixed fee, one business day

We confirm the scope and come back with a fixed fee and a delivery date. You know the cost and the timeline before anything starts — never an hourly meter.

Us → you · within 1 business day

The Cindra engine does the heavy lifting

Your project runs through our own takeoff-to-quote software — symbols counted systematically, materials resolved to real SKUs, every circuit checked against AS/NZS 3000 and platform limits. Nothing is missed, and nothing relies on a tired pair of eyes.

Software · systematic & standards-checked
4
Expert eyes on every line

An engineer with worldwide, multi-platform experience — Dynalite, KNX, C-Bus, Lutron, Control4, Savant, Niagara — and loyal to none of them — reviews the output the way someone who has built the work would. Judgement the software can't provide.

Human · brand-independent review
5
Delivery & revisions

You receive the complete package — a tender-ready design or a client-ready estimate with its full breakdown. Revisions are included, and the documents are yours with no lock-in.

Two tracks, one engine

The process flexes to the service.

Design track
For architects & designers

Steps 3–4 run deeper: room-by-room control design, keypad and scene logic, coordination with your interiors, and a full documentation set built for tender. Turnaround is quoted upfront with your fixed fee.

Estimating track
For electrical contractors

Optimised for tender deadlines: takeoff, SKU-level BOM, labour and a client-ready quote back in days, not weeks — with your rates and margin built in, and the full breakdown yours to edit.

Step one takes ten minutes.

Send us the drawings — we'll take it from there and come back within one business day.
