Why Early AV Planning is Crucial for Your New Home Build
When building your dream home, it's easy to get caught up in the aesthetics and structural elements. However, one aspect that's often overlooked until it's too late is the planning for audio/visual (AV) systems. Here's why it's critical to incorporate AV wiring into your architectural drawings from the start, and what to do if you've missed this crucial step.
The Importance of Early AV Planning
What are we referring to when we talk about AV
Anything from pre-wiring your home for built in speakers, to the pre-wiring for your lighting control are areas where many fail to plan in their initial stages of their building proces. Did you know that you can automate the lighting inside and outside your home, on automated simple systems and that can be controlled right from an app on your phone. Pre-wiring for automated window shades so they may also be controlled from these systems is a huge benefit that will elevate any home to the elegance of a luxury home. Where to put TV’s, Home Theater design, outside speakers and lighting for your landscape, and outdoor entertainment are other areas to consider.
Seamless Integration
Planning your AV wiring during the architectural drawing phase allows for seamless integration of technology into your home's design. This means hidden wires, strategically placed outlets, and optimal positioning of screens and speakers.
