Smart Home for New Builds Perth

The single biggest mistake on a new build is leaving smart home wiring until handover. Once the plaster is on, every cable run becomes a battle - fishing through ceilings, cutting plates, hoping the builder hasn't filled the cavity with insulation. Done at lockup, the same job takes a fraction of the time and the result is invisible.

We work with Perth's premier builders - Zorzi, Webb & Brown-Neaves, Atrium, Oswald, Mondo, and slot into the build program at first fix. We supply the electrician with cable schedules, panel layouts and termination diagrams, then return at second fix to terminate, test and commission.

• 01First-fix cable schedule supplied to the electrician
• 02Cat6, speaker, HDMI, lighting and shading runs to every room
• 03Future-proofed conduits where flexibility matters
• 04Final commissioning and household handover before practical completion

Every new build should have a smart home scope locked in before the slab is poured. We provide architects and builders with a single-page specification covering platform choice (Crestron, Control4, Lutron, C-Bus), zoning, network layout, AV and security. The cost premium versus a traditional electrical fit-out is typically 8–15% - and recoverable on resale.

Even if the budget doesn't allow a full automation install at move-in, pre-wiring during construction costs almost nothing extra and saves a five-figure retrofit later. We routinely wire homes for a future Crestron or Lutron HomeWorks system that the owner installs three years later - no walls touched.

Most architects don't think about smart home wiring until the electrician arrives - by which point it's too late for the elegant solution. We supply a one-page smart home spec that you can hand to your architect at concept stage: rack location, cable schedule, keypad locations on every plan, theatre seating dimensions, network closet ventilation requirements.

Doing this work at concept costs nothing. Doing it at fit-out costs five figures in variations and rework.

Smart isn't a commodity - camera angles that respect neighbour privacy, lock strikes that sit flush, touchscreens at the right height, sub-mains that don't nuisance-trip. That craft is what separates a good install from an average one.

Choosing SmartSpace for Smart means dealing with the same two founders - Leo and James, from first call through to handover. No account managers, no offshore call centres, no scripted upsells.

• 01Free on-site consultation and fixed written quote for Smart
• 02Licensed electricians on every smart job - no sub-contractors
• 0310-year workmanship warranty on all smart installs
• 04No monthly subscriptions, no vendor lock-in
• 05Same-week smart bookings across the Perth metro

Every smart project starts with a proper on-site consultation. We measure, mark cable runs, photograph switchboards and talk through how the household actually uses the space, so the smart quote we hand you is fixed in writing before a tool is lifted.

Security and privacy are treated as defaults, not extras. Cameras get their own network segment, default passwords are always changed, remote access is locked down, and firmware is checked at handover. If a device only works by exposing your home network to the open internet, we won't specify it.
