The Importance of Partnering with Forward Thinking Builders

If you’ve ever worked with builders, you likely know the pros and cons of doing so. It can be a great partnership when they appreciate technology and what you do as an integrator. Other times it can be… well… worse.

Builders lay the foundation. Tech integrators make it come alive.

  • Key Takeaways

    • Wireless Isn't Always the Answer: Despite advancements, not everything can become wireless due to the sheer volume of content and network demands.

    • Growing Demand for Home Tech: Clients expect more which is good for you as the integrator!

    • Scalability of Modern Tech: Even selling a few dimmers can help keep the door open to scale and grow their systems over time.

    • Simplicity in Modern Solutions: Things continue to get simpler and easier (less call backs and service calls)
