Consider the following in reference to the 5 questions to ask your builder regarding the technology to be built into your home or building.

1. What technologies will improve my enjoyment of my home as well as increase the value of my home?

Homes equipped with the infrastructure that supports the technologies listed below sell faster and for more money. Structured Wiring is the infrastructure or backbone which support current technologies.

A properly designed and installed structured wiring system will allow the following systems to be added as budgets allow. Modern electrical systems work best if they're properly designed from the start. Common wiring by an electrician does not support current technology!

Current technologies that are popular modern homes include:

Broadband Internet Connectivity
Audio and Video Distribution
High Quality Theater Systems
Video Teleconferencing
Facility Wide Network Connectivity
Energy Management
Automation
Integrated Telephone Systems
Integrated Security Systems
Audio and Media Servers
Video Over Twisted Pair
HDTV
Acoustically Optimized Listening
Optimized Viewing Environments

2. To see that these features are properly incorporated, do you work with a professional System Integration company?

Just as a builder relies on specialists like plumbers to install the plumbing systems and electricians to install the Electrical or High Voltage systems like power outlets, lights and switches, it is imperative he use a System Integration specialist to design and install the Electronic or Low Voltage systems.

You would be concerned if he had the electrician install the sinks and toilets. When it comes to the design and installation of most electronic systems, it is best to involve a professional System Integrator.
