overview
overview
This trade is shade hardware plus lighting-control hardware, not a branded whole-home automation platform. Scope includes roller, dual-roller, cellular, drapery, and exterior-screen motors; battery, 24 V Class 2, or 120 V shade power; LED drivers and dimmers (0–10 V, phase-cut, or DALI where specified); occupancy or vacancy sensors; photocells; and timeclock or astronomical schedules. Integration is typically dry-contact, RS-485, IP, or a lighting-control panel.
methods
methods
Specify shade fabric (solar, room-darkening, or dual) and pocket depth before framing closes. Conceal shade power in headers. Match LED drivers to the existing control protocol instead of mixing 0–10 V and phase-cut on one circuit. Keep lighting control off fire-alarm and emergency-lighting circuits. Exterior screens need a wind-sensor lockout. Cost is project-specific.

Your scope becomes schematic floor plans you can compare side by side — circulation, daylight, adjacencies, and what each option does to the budget. Layout decisions happen on paper, where changes are cheap.
Learn more →Architectural Design & 3D Renderings
Design development, materials + finishes, photorealistic visualization.
The chosen concept resolves into materials, finishes, fixtures, and lighting — with the automation layer drawn in. Photorealistic renderings let you walk the space and adjust before anything is priced.
Learn more →Construction Documents & Permitting
