At Boston Automations, we collaborate directly with custom home builders, electricians, HVAC contractors, and other trades to integrate technology systems into the construction process efficiently, accurately, and with minimal friction. Our proven six-step workflow keeps your project on track and ensures seamless coordination between all teams.
Here’s what to expect at each step—and what we’ll need from you to keep everything running smoothly.
We begin with a collaborative meeting between your team, Boston Automations, and the homeowner (if applicable) to align on the project’s scope, design intent, and schedule. Early coordination eliminates surprises and allows us to build a tight scope that integrates cleanly into your process.
Our engineering team produces detailed system documentation including floor plans, and wiring schematics. These plans are reviewed with your team and coordinated with architectural, electrical, and mechanical drawings to avoid scope overlaps and field confusion.
This is the critical infrastructure phase. We run all structured wiring for AV, networking, security, access control, and lighting systems—timed precisely with other rough-in activities to minimize conflict. We’ll be on site coordinating closely with your field teams.
After drywall is complete, we return to install the visible components: keypads, lighting, speaker grilles, wall plates, shades, cameras, and network devices. We double-check placement and alignment with cabinetry, tile, and millwork, working around your finishing schedule.
With all hardware in place, we program, test, and commission the full system. We walk the space with your team and the homeowner to review functionality, make any necessary adjustments, and ensure the technology performs as expected before handoff.
Our relationship continues after installation. We provide easy-to-follow documentation, proactive maintenance, and responsive support to keep your system running smoothly. Whether you have a question or want to plan future upgrades, we’re always here for you.
