Smart Cottages Muskoka
A modern lakefront cottage in daylight
For builders, designers and managers

One trade for everything low voltage.

Network, lighting, shades, audio, cameras and locks, planned at framing and finished after drywall. One contact, one set of drawings, no callbacks to you.

  • On your scheduleRough-in with the electrical
  • Drawings you can hand offEvery drop and keypad marked
  • Aftercare is oursThe owner calls us, not you

Who we work alongside.

Four kinds of partner, four different jobs. The common thread is that we make yours simpler.

Custom builders and renovators

We show up when the schedule says.

Rough-in at framing, finish after paint, handover with your client. We coordinate with your electrician so nothing gets fished through a finished wall.

Architects and designers

Devices where they belong, not where the wire ended up.

We mark cabling and device locations on your drawings before the walls close. Keypads, shades and speakers placed with the design, in finishes that suit it.

Rental property managers

The same setup on every unit. One number to call.

Locks, thermostats and cameras configured identically across the portfolio, on one dashboard. Turnovers get easier and the after hours calls get fewer.

Realtors and cottage brokers

A cottage that is easier to show and easier to close.

A lock and a thermostat make a listing simpler to access and warmer to walk into. A turnkey package also makes a memorable closing gift.

How it goes on a new build.

Four touchpoints. We are on site twice and on the phone the rest of the time.

  1. 01

    Before the walls close

    We review the plans with you and mark every drop, back box, keypad and speaker location. You get the marked drawings back.

  2. 02

    At framing

    Cabling, conduit and back boxes go in alongside the electrical rough-in, so nothing is fished later.

  3. 03

    After paint

    Devices mounted, hub configured, network live and tested to the boathouse and the dock. Same window as your trim, usually.

  4. 04

    Handover

    We walk the owner through every scene on their own phone. The question in July comes to us.

What we take off your plate.

Everything low voltage that used to mean three more trades on site.

  • Structured cabling
  • Mesh network to outbuildings
  • Lighting control
  • Motorised shades
  • Distributed audio
  • TV and theatre pre-wire
  • Cameras and doorbell
  • Smart locks
  • Leak and freeze sensors
  • Thermostats
  • Rack and hub
  • Owner walkthrough

Fewer trades on site.

One crew for all of it, coordinated with your electrician rather than in their way.

Drawings you can build from.

Marked plans that go straight to the framer and the electrician. No guessing at the drop.

Aftercare is ours.

When the owner has a question after closing, they call us. Your job ends at handover.
