03 / Frequently asked

Residential — the early conversation.

How early in the home-build process should I bring in a smart-home integrator?

Bring a smart-home integrator in at the architectural drawing stage, before any wiring is pulled — typically 6–12 weeks before construction begins. Ideally at the architectural drawing stage, before any wiring is pulled. Cable pathways, panel locations, lighting schedules and acoustic envelopes are dramatically more effective and visually integrated when designed alongside the architecture. Our first meeting is best with the architect and interior designer in the room.

What are the typical scenes you programme for a residence?

Typical residential scenes are Welcome, Day, Dinner, Film and Goodnight — engraved on keypads in the family's actual words rather than generic numbers. Welcome (foyer warms, entry music, security disarms), Day (daylight harvesting, drapery on sun-load), Dinner (dining warms to 2200 K, kitchen task-lit, dining audio), Film (cinema bias only, drapery closed, AV routes), Goodnight (path lighting, perimeter armed, climate eco). The scenes are engraved on the keypads in the words your family actually uses, not generic numbers.

Can a smart home survive a power outage or internet drop?

Yes — keypads and scenes operate fully through power outages and internet drops; with battery-backed circuits, scene memory is preserved through outages. Every keypad, scene and local control function continues to operate without internet. With battery-backed circuits, scene memory is preserved through power outages. Internet is only required for remote app access, voice control, and software updates — not for daily use of the home.

Do you work with our interior designer and architect or independently?

Always with the architect and interior designer — never independently — delivering shop drawings to their standards and respecting design intent end-to-end. We deliver shop drawings to the architect's standards, attend design coordination meetings, and respect interior intent. Engraved keypads, fabric speaker grilles, hidden subwoofers and recessed projector lifts are details we agree with the design team rather than imposing on them.

What's the realistic budget range for a premium villa?

Premium villas run ₹25–45 lakh for a 4,000–6,000 sq ft Rako-and-cinema fit-out, rising to ₹60 lakh and beyond for reference 9.1.6 cinemas. ₹25–45 lakh for a 4,000–6,000 sq ft villa with full Rako, climate, audio and basic cinema. ₹60 lakh upward for reference 9.1.6 cinema with Trinnov Altitude processing, JBL Synthesis or Focal speakers, Rako lighting, invisible architectural audio and full Fibaro Home programming. We itemise every quote against the architectural drawings before commitment.
