A consultant gives the homeowner ultimate flexibility and freedom of choice when designing a project. The current marketplace is crowded with many options and terminologies. Sporadic advice can be obtained from friends, neighbors, I.T. guys at work, manufactures’ websites, on line research….. but none of this advice comes from an industry specialist who is focused today on the residential electronics and construction industry, one who understands best practices and solutions, and can give you specific details and advice that pertain to your project. With this challenge, many gather their direction from the electronics integrator who they may pick for their installation. A good referral is valuable, but when you can combine that with an unbiased industry expert to work out the design and budget details, positive results are realized.
