Cost Drivers
What Affects Project Cost.
Property Size & Scope
Number of rooms, square footage, guest houses, and outdoor areas all affect scope. More systems integrated means more design and programming time.
New vs. Existing
New construction allows conduit to be run before walls close, significantly reducing labor cost. Retrofitting an existing home requires more skilled work and time.
Platform Choice
Savant typically runs 20–40% higher than Control4. Lutron HomeWorks costs more than RadioRA 3 but delivers a significantly superior experience at scale.
