The Process

From initial idea to completed system – it really is quite simple.

Give us a call, send us an email… let’s have a conversation about the technology involved, without the jargon.

Navigate the smart home world, focusing on your project requirements and the building itself.

It may be necessary to meet after this initial conversation to see the property or clarify any further details.

A few simple steps to an agreed needs analysis

A specification is prepared, including a simple needs spreadsheet.

This lists out the systems required, points per room / area and a total scope for the project.

Your input, alongside expert advice and product selection, ensures EXACTLY the right specification is agreed.

The project & budget proposal

Using the agreed needs analysis, we produce a quotation for the design, equipment and installation required.

This is broken down into separate lines and outline the costs for the overall project.

We also breakdown the labour and VAT for each system, so everything is included.

Contract & Design Phase

The contract and design for the agreed system is the next step.

A formal fee schedule, contract and design invoice will be issued and we commence the design stage.

Plan layouts, schematics, and cable schedules are all required for the project.

We deliver the cable, take the agreed design to site and walk through it with the nominated electrical contractor.

Installation

Once the cabling is in place, thinkingbricks check through the cabling on site against the design.

When first fix has been signed off as complete, the preparations for your second fix installation are prepared.

Our engineering team tidy and terminate the cables into outlets, panels and speakers around the project.

Once second fix is complete, the final installation and commissioning dates are set.
After handover, the invoice is issued for payment.

After the first years inclusive support, we offer maintenance contracts.

Handover & sign-off

There is no merit in installing a system that never gets used, because it is “too complicated” or “I’m scared of it!”.

thinkingbricks are dedicated to ensuring clients can use their smart home systems straight away. We navigate ways to making systems as easy and intuitive to use as possible.

Alongside comprehensive documentation / instruction, we undertake a system signoff and walkthrough, ensuring the user is up and running, confident and capable using the system.

And that’s it! Simple.
