Today's custom homes go far beyond traditional construction, integrating technology that transforms daily living while dramatically reducing energy costs.

Building a truly modern home in Colorado requires expertise beyond traditional construction skills. From structured wiring for whole-house connectivity to automated climate control that adapts to your lifestyle, we design and install technology that enhances comfort, convenience, and efficiency. Let us show you how today's smart home features can transform your custom home into a connected, energy-efficient sanctuary.
Essential High-Tech Features for Modern Living
The difference between a house and a smart home lies in thoughtful technology integration during construction. Installing these systems after the fact means tearing into walls, patching drywall, and compromising on placement. By planning technology from the blueprint stage, we ensure optimal performance and invisible integration. Here are the most valuable high-tech features our clients choose for their custom homes:
Structured Wiring Systems
Cat6 cabling throughout your home ensures blazing-fast internet in every room, reliable video streaming, and rock-solid connections for home offices. We strategically place network jacks and wireless access points during construction, eliminating dead zones and ensuring full coverage. Essential for remote work and modern entertainment needs.
Tankless Water Heating
Why heat 50 gallons continuously when you can have endless hot water on demand? Tankless systems cut water heating costs by up to 50%, never run out during long showers, and eliminate sediment buildup. With minimal maintenance requirements and space-saving design, they're perfect for Colorado's varying seasonal demands.
Smart Climate Control
Modern HVAC systems with smart thermostats learn your schedule, adjust for weather changes, and optimize comfort room-by-room. Control everything from your smartphone—pre-heat before arriving home or adjust settings while traveling. These systems reduce energy waste by 20-30% while maintaining perfect comfort automatically.
HRV Fresh Air Systems
Heat Recovery Ventilation is the cornerstone of healthy, efficient homes. HRV systems continuously exchange stale indoor air with fresh outdoor air while recovering up to 85% of the heating or cooling energy. This technology eliminates odors, reduces allergens, and maintains optimal humidity—all while cutting heating costs by 30%.
Complete Home Automation
Imagine controlling lights, locks, cameras, and appliances from anywhere. See who's at the door and speak with visitors remotely. Unlock for deliveries, adjust lighting scenes, or ensure your hot tub is ready when you arrive home. Full integration during construction means clean installation with no visible wires or retrofitted components.
Entertainment Systems
From whole-house audio that follows you room-to-room to dedicated theater spaces with surround sound, we integrate entertainment seamlessly. Built-in speakers disappear into architecture while delivering concert-quality sound. Control everything by voice or app, creating the perfect ambiance for any occasion throughout your home.
Building a high-tech custom home requires more than adding gadgets—it demands thoughtful integration from the ground up.
