What St Ives homes need
Every suburb has its own constraints. These are the ones that shape most of the work we see in and around St Ives.
- Large homes over several levels that one router can't cover, where a wired network with access points in every zone makes the difference. More
- Knock-down rebuilds, where automation designed before the electrical tender costs far less than adding it later. More
- Bushfire-prone blocks, where external equipment has to suit the construction standard and alerts matter when nobody is home. More
- Indoor-outdoor living around decks, pools and gardens, which calls for lighting and audio set up as scenes, not a row of switches. More

Do you work in St Ives?
Yes. We design, install and service systems in St Ives and the surrounding suburbs, from our base on the Northern Beaches.
Why doesn't Wi-Fi reach the whole house?
In large homes, a single router can't cover every level through brick and concrete. Cabled access points in each zone are the reliable answer.
When should we involve you in a St Ives rebuild?
At design or documentation stage, before the electrical tender goes out. See new builds.
