Smart Home Integration for Custom Builders in North Phoenix

Your Technology Integration Partner for Early-Stage Collaboration

Smart Homes Are the New Standard

Homebuyers today are more connected than ever, which means they expect their homes to be, too. As a custom builder, can you keep up? When you partner with our luxury smart home integrators in Paradise Valley, we handle all technology components for you. You don’t need multiple contractors for security, lighting, and AV. It’s all expertly designed and installed by Audio Video Excellence in North Phoenix.

By including us early in your project, we can strategically design networks and technology systems while considering the overall experience within your space. Our luxury installs fit AV and controls tastefully within interiors, with sleek keypads and in-ceiling speakers and TV lifts that complement your design, and never detract.

Partnership

Meet the Demands of Today’s Luxury Homebuyers

Together from Start to Finish

With a smart home integration partner for your custom homes, technology and lighting aren’t left as afterthoughts. We examine every area of the home, and craft an interconnected system that works in real-life settings. For example, will floor-to-ceiling windows cast a glare on the media room TV? Will we need motorized shades and accent lighting—and how will we power and control those devices? You can leave it all to Audio Video Excellence.

We help luxury home builders across Scottsdale, Paradise Valley, and North Phoenix avoid mid-project surprises and change orders. By looping us in early, we can design a technology system that reflects how your clients live and will use the space, completely customized to their needs and preferences.

Our Smart Home Solutions

Home Technology That Blends with Luxury Architecture & Finishes

Create a Smart Home Experience

A true smart home is not defined by its technologies but rather by the experience it creates for the buyer. We put the homeowner, your client, first by seamlessly integrating lights, shades, thermostats, entertainment, security, and more into one intuitive platform for effortless, one-touch control.

Network Infrastructure

We work with you throughout the construction process to properly wire and install a robust smart home foundation that ensures reliability, scalability and seamless integration of all the devices your clients desire. When the hardware installation, programming and wire infrastructure installation are completed by the same technology contractor, you experience fewer possible construction delays and unnecessary expenses.

Lighting and Shading

Our whole-home lighting control and motorized shading services make it easy for your clients to adjust the atmosphere in seconds. As a Lutron lighting and automation specialist for luxury builders, we’ll help reduce wall clutter while enhancing ambiance and comfort.

Distributed Audio Video

Our audio and video solutions offer high-performance multi-room entertainment from a single platform so homeowners can effortlessly enjoy their favorite media at the touch of a button. We’ll work with you through design-phase collaboration to ensure entertainment systems are strategically placed and concealed where necessary.

Frequently Asked Questions for Custom Home Builders

What’s the best way to include smart home tech in a custom build?

Start planning smart home systems during the architectural and framing phases, not after. Involving a technology integrator early helps avoid rework, streamline wiring, and ensure compatibility across home control systems like Lutron, Control4, and Savant.

What should custom builders know about smart home prewiring?

Prewiring is the backbone of any smart home. It’s critical to plan wiring layouts before framing to support features like lighting control, motorized shades, multi-room audio, and surveillance. Poor or late-stage wiring planning can limit system capabilities later.

Who can help design smart home systems before we start building?

A certified smart home integrator like Audio Video Excellence can work alongside your architect and trades to design a complete system plan before construction begins, including wiring, equipment placement, and system compatibility.

How do I choose a smart home integrator for new construction?

Look for a partner with proven experience in high-end residential construction, strong brand affiliations (like Lutron, Control4, or Savant), and a track record of early-phase collaboration with builders and architects. Local experience in luxury communities is also a plus.

What’s the difference between integrators, AV installers, and automation specialists?

An AV installer might handle speakers or TVs. An automation specialist focuses on control systems. A smart home integrator brings it all together into a cohesive, user-friendly experience, including lighting, climate, security, AV, and more.

If you’re looking to provide an upscale, whole-home experience to your clients in Cave Creek, Carefree, or Paradise Valley, an integrator is the recommended smart home partner for builders like you.

Can you help custom builders who are new to the Scottsdale or North Phoenix area?

Yes. We frequently partner with builders new to the Phoenix luxury market. We help you understand regional preferences, technology expectations, and how to present integrated automation as a value-add to your clients.

What role does a smart home integrator play during construction?

The integrator helps coordinate with electricians, framers, and other trades to ensure all wiring, component placement, and access points are aligned with both the home’s design and the smart home system's needs.

How can smart home planning reduce construction delays or change orders?

Early planning eliminates surprises. By choosing an integrator like AVX before construction begins, you’ll avoid costly rewiring, system incompatibilities, and scheduling issues that arise when technology is an afterthought.
