The story
Varley Property Developments have built quality homes around Nottinghamshire since 1990. For their latest pair of new builds in Stanton-on-the-Wolds, they wanted something most developers leave to the buyer to sort out later: a full home automation system, fitted as standard.
The brief had two parts. The homes had to work seamlessly from the day the owners moved in, and the system had to be ready to grow, so a future owner could expand it without tearing anything out.

The Process
We were in the room before the foundations were. Talking to Varley before construction started meant our design team could finalise the requirements early and hand the site team detailed drawings and cabling schedules, so every route was accounted for before a wall went up. As the old trade saying goes, the most expensive cable is the one nobody ran.
From there it came down to coordination. Our engineers worked alongside the developer, the trades on site and our manufacturers to keep two mirrored builds moving in step, delivered on time and inside budget.
The Solution
Both homes run on one centralised system, controlled from a single interface.
-
Smart lighting throughout, managed at home or away
-
Network and Wi-Fi built for reliable coverage across the whole property
-
Multiroom audio in high quality, room to room
-
CCTV with remote access
-
Door entry and driveway gate control from inside the home
The Result
Two homes that arrive complete. The owners move into technology that already works, with the headroom to add to it as they go.
For Varley, automation as standard is a point of difference in a competitive market. For us it is the ideal way to work: designed from the first drawing, installed by the team that designed it, and supported by the same people afterwards through TrustPack.
