As home builders ramp up building again, technology is a key feature of many of these new homes. Both high- and mid-volume dealers report that production-housing opportunities are back. With so much new construction technology we know it can be overwhelming. The experts at Spectrum Technology Integrators are here to help, whether you live in Dade or Broward counties.

Even with the boom years behind us, editors at CE Pro say more attention is being paid to outfitting homes with technology solutions. Some of the more popular solutions include security and surveillance systems, home theaters, whole- home music systems, lighting control, motorized shades, and energy management.

Before the drywall goes up and the carpet is laid there is a very important installation that takes place; the installation of audio and video capabilities, also known as the pre-wiring stage. It’s the backbone for all things technological in your home. Spectrum Technology Integrators are new construction technology experts from Royal Palm to Broward County. Pre-wiring is done immediately after electrical wiring is installed, and before insulation and drywall is completed. The process takes place before the completion of construction on a remodel or newly built home.

One national industry group suggests that new homeowners budget approximately one percent of their new homes value to wiring infrastructure. While the pre-wire process may not be the most expensive part of the construction process, it is one of the most crucial with regards to technology integration. The experts at Spectrum Technology Integrators can work directly with your builder to design a system that fits your family’s individual needs and takes into consideration available technologies. We’ll coordinate scheduling to ensure that construction deadlines are met.
