Make every home Nexus-ready, then sell the upgrades.

A low-cost prewire specified at plan phase and run by the electricians already on your job — so automation goes on the options sheet for every buyer, and everything they choose installs with the trades you already have.

The problem with options

Automation should be your best option, and usually isn't

Options are where a builder makes margin, and automation has as much perceived value as anything on the sheet. It is also the option most builders cannot reliably sell — because saying yes brings a trade you don't carry onto a schedule you can't move.

01

A trade you don't carry

Conventional systems need an accredited integrator. That is a subcontractor you have no relationship with, working to their availability and their rate, on a build you are trying to keep to a date.

02

Decided too late to build

Buyers choose options at the design center, which is often after the wire would have had to go in. Anything that needs a cable in a wall is either a change order or a no.

03

A promise you can't verify

You cannot sell an option you are not certain will install, on the schedule, in every plan. So it comes off the sheet — and the margin goes with it.

The prewire

One prewire makes every home capable

Nexus-ready is a small, standard prewire package specified with the electrical drawings and run by the electricians already on the job. It goes into every home, whether or not that buyer ever upgrades.

1

Specified at plan phase

Back-boxes, cable runs and a location for the hub go on the electrical drawings, once, per plan. It is decided with the rest of the package rather than negotiated per house.

2

Run by your electricians

Ordinary rough-in work, to our guidelines. No certification, no accredited installer, and nobody new on the schedule.

3

Every home ships ready

A Nexus-ready home costs very little more to build and can be upgraded at any point — at the design center, at closing, or years afterwards, because the wire is already in the wall.

The option sale

Sell it at the design center, deliver it with the trades you have

Once the prewire is in, automation becomes an option you can offer without hedging. The buyer chooses; nothing they choose needs a subcontractor who isn't already on your job.

Offer it to everyone
Every home is capable, so automation sits on the standard options sheet rather than being a special order you have to price and check each time.
No new trade
Whatever the buyer selects is installed by your electrical, low-voltage and general contractors, working from the same guidelines as the prewire.
Programmed by us
We commission the system once the hardware is in, so an upgrade never turns into a trade you have to schedule or a skill you have to hire.
Or added later
A buyer who declines at purchase has not closed the door. The home is still ready, so the upgrade is available after move-in without opening a wall.
The other path

Or make it standard, and sell a different kind of home

Not every builder wants this on the options sheet. Put it in every home and the comparison changes — a buyer weighing your community against the one down the road is no longer comparing finishes and square footage.

Luxury as standard
The kind of system that has always meant a custom integration budget and a specialist on retainer. Specified once across a plan and installed by your own trades, it lands at a cost a production home can carry.
One system
Left to themselves, a homeowner ends up with a lock from one brand, a thermostat from another and a camera from a third — separate accounts, separate apps, nothing that talks to anything else, and no one accountable when it doesn't. This arrives as one system.
In-person handover
We are on site with the homeowner at commissioning. We walk them through the house, set it up around how they actually live, and leave them able to use it — rather than leaving a folder of manuals on the counter.
One number to call
We remain the single point of contact for the system afterwards. Your warranty line does not turn into a smart-home help desk, and the homeowner is never passed between manufacturers to find out whose fault it is.
In the home

What a buyer can choose

Every home runs on a Nexus Hub, a local controller that speaks to whatever the buyer selected — and to whatever they add afterwards.

Lighting that responds to occupancy, daylight and time of day, and can be changed by whoever lives there.

The homeowner

It has to still make sense two years after closing

A buyer lives with this decision far longer than they spent making it. Warranty calls, confused owners and a system nobody uses all come back to you — so the bar is that it keeps working without anyone thinking about it.

01

Aware, not preset

The house reads occupancy, daylight and time of day and adjusts on its own. Nothing is locked to a fixed set of scenes — an owner who wants it different changes it, and it stays that way.

02

Theirs to change

Adjusting a light level or a schedule is not a service call. Control lives on the wall as well as the phone, so it works for everyone in the house rather than one account holder.

03

It transfers with the home

The system belongs to the house, not to an account. When the home is sold, credentials are reset and the next owner takes it over — which makes it a feature on the resale rather than a question mark.
