Smart Home Technical Design & Consultancy
Professional M&E Coordination for Architects, Designers & Developers.
Professional M&E coordination and technical design for residential technology. We bridge the gap between architectural intent and mechanical execution.
For the modern Architect, Interior Designer, or Developer, the challenge of luxury residential isn’t just the design—it’s the increasing complexity of the M&E package.
Technology is no longer an "add-on"; it is a core utility that requires professional, early-stage coordination to succeed.
At Prestige Home Automation, we don't just "install systems." We serve as your Lead Technical Consultant, providing the engineering rigour required to integrate complex automation, networking, and AV into your vision without the friction.
By delivering a comprehensive Technical Tender Package before a single cable is pulled, we:
Eliminate on-site "guesswork" that leads to costly delays.
De-risk the installation for the lead contractor and MEP teams.
Protect the design intent from late-stage variations and "technological clutter."
Provide a single point of truth for all integrated technology across the project.
Removing the technical headache
We believe a successful smart home is one where the technology doesn't compete with the aesthetic. We work closely with Interior Designers to ensure the "black boxes" are hidden, and the hardware is felt, but not seen.
Integrated technology. Invisible execution.
Invisible Audio & Flush Finishes
From plaster-in speakers that become part of the wall to Wall Smart recessed mounts that sit perfectly flush with your finishes, we protect the architectural integrity of every room.
Engineering the Invisible
High-performance homes require heavy-lifting infrastructure. We engineer the "digital foundation"—the cabling, rack space, and thermal management—to ensure the home performs flawlessly while remaining visually silent.
Aesthetic Harmony
We remove "gadget-clutter" by replacing multiple plastic thermostats and light switches with a single, elegant keypad or a discreet remote temperature sensor.
We provide the engineering "gold" that ensures a smooth build. Our comprehensive technical documentation pack can be dropped straight into your project files to de-risk the installation for the lead contractor.
Full CAD & PDF Wiring Layouts for:
Smart Lighting, AV, and Dedicated Cinema Design.
Managed Data Networks and Secure Wi-Fi Foundations.
Integrated CCTV, Alarms, and Security Infrastructure.
HVAC and Environmental Control Coordination.
The Residential Technology Tender Suite
Surgical Engineering Data
We produce comprehensive Cable Schedules for 1st and 2nd fix - detailing exact start/end points and lengths to eliminate on-site ambiguity. This is supported by precise Wiring Diagrams for lighting control panels and detailed Product Specification Sheets. This engineering-led documentation ensures every trade understands exactly what is being installed, its specific purpose, and how it integrates into the master design.
Beyond the drawings, we provide the supporting documentation required for a professional M&E handover.
M&E Coordination
We act as the single point of truth for every trade on-site. By producing all technical documentation in-house, we ensure the electrician, plumber, and joiner are all working to the same "hymn sheet."
System Audits & Rescues
We are frequently called to "rescue" projects where the technology has failed. We perform full infrastructure audits to identify bottlenecks and re-engineer systems into robust, fail-safe environments.
Your lead technical partner - delivering certainty
One Hymn Sheet Philosophy
In aviation, success is built on a single, unified flight plan. We bring that same discipline to your design team. By producing every technical schematic in-house, we remove the confusion that typically haunts site meetings, ensuring all trades are aligned from the first fix to the final handover.
The Pilot Perspective
We allow the architect and interior designer to focus on the beauty of the build while we handle the technical heartbeat of the home. As your Technical Director, Arnaud Desaedeleer applies airline-standard rigour to every M&E detail, ensuring your project is supported by a permanent, high-performance digital foundation.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
For maximum efficiency, we recommend engaging us at RIBA Stage 2 (Concept Design) or Stage 3 (Spatial Coordination). By involving a technical consultant early, we can coordinate critical infrastructure requirements—such as rack room footprints, structural cable routes, and thermal ventilation—into the primary architectural plans before they are frozen, avoiding costly structural variations during the build.
-
Yes. We provide Independent Technical Consultancy where we produce a complete, brand-neutral M&E Tender Package. This allows Architects and Developers to put the technology contract out to competitive tender with "apples-for-apples" certainty. Should the client then choose PHA for the implementation, our consultancy fee is typically credited against the project cost.
-
As technical designers, we carry full Professional Indemnity (PI) Insurance alongside our Public and Products Liability cover. This gives lead architects and MEP consultants the peace of mind that our technical schematics and system designs are backed by professional-grade accountability.
-
We provide a "Single Point of Truth." Instead of the electrical contractor guessing the data requirements or the HVAC team and AV team fighting over wall space, our Integrated Cable Schedules and CAD Elevations clearly define every trade's boundaries. This removes "ambiguity-led delays" and ensures the site team can execute the 1st and 2nd fix with surgical precision.
-
Absolutely. We specialise in integrating smart climate and shading systems that contribute directly to the building’s energy efficiency. By automating solar shading and precision HVAC zones, we help projects meet modern thermal performance targets while maintaining the architectural aesthetic.
-
We do. One of the primary benefits for our professional partners is that we take full responsibility for the "digital health" of the property post-completion. The client is moved onto a PHA Proactive Support plan, meaning they contact us directly for any future optimisations or assistance, removing the architect or designer from the technical support loop entirely.
-
Our standard professional package includes:
Full CAD/PDF Wiring Layouts (AV, Lighting, Security, HVAC)
Integrated Cable Schedules (Start/End points, Cable ID, Lengths)
Rack Room & Elevation Drawings (Thermal & Space management)
Luminare & Keypad Finish Schedules
Network Topology & Wi-Fi Heatmaps
From the initial technical schematic to the final M&E handover, we are your partners in de-risking integrated technology. We do not simply supply hardware; we provide the professional documentation and on-site coordination that ensures your architectural vision is delivered without compromise or technical friction.
