Delight your residents
Modern homeowners and tenants rely on their in-home technology - to work, learn and relax. For example, if the in-home connectivity means WiFi works well through the home, you won’t have kids hanging around in your marketing suite doing their homework (as happened with one developer recently, when the ISP failed to supply the right equipment. If they can get their and a smart doorbell fitted, your team will be able to avoid dealing with Amazon deliveries or fielding complaints about lost parcels.
Make sure your sales and concierge team don’t waste time on the basics
Getting the in-home wiring right means that they’ll be able to do what they need without lashing up additional cables and extension leads, or pestering your team for changes or further information. If they do need help they’ll be able to turn to the CEDIA team who’ll have details of their home so they can provide comprehensive support straightaway.
Ensure your own tech works reliably
Many builders - especially in the student, later living and build-to-rent sectors - are including sensors and smart metering equipment to avoid damage from leaks or wasted energy (when an absent resident has left a window open, say). All of this tech needs to be seamlessly and reliably connected. A number of developers, particularly in these MDU examples, have contacted CEDIA seeking support as installation costs have escalated and monitoring and reporting has been patchy - in all cases because of sub-optimal in home infrastructure. Like most things, this is simple to get right, without spending more money, if it is correctly designed. The CEDIA wiring guidelines shows you how.
