Technology integration for exceptional residential projects
Working alongside architects, project managers, developers and specialist trades to make the technology across a home work as one.
A technology partner for the whole project.
Core Automation works alongside architects, project managers, developers and specialist trades on high-end residential projects.
We take responsibility for the technology integration across the home, coordinating with the existing project team from technical design through to commissioning and handover.
Your preferred electrician, HVAC contractor, lighting supplier and other trades can remain in place. We work with them to make sure the individual systems come together as one considered, reliable system.
Why Work with Core
Keep your existing trades.
We work with the contractors and specialists already appointed to the project.
One point for technology integration.
We coordinate the systems & interfaces between lighting, climate, shading, energy, networking, security and entertainment.
Clear scope & responsibilities.
Everyone knows what Core provides, what each trade provides & where the interfaces sit.
Commissioned as one system.
We test and configure the technology together, rather than handing the client a collection of separate systems.
Technical input early.
We identify requirements for data cabling, controls and equipment before they become expensive to change.
