Industries — Construction & the Trades
Low-voltage, smart home, and lighting — designed as one system.
This is the industry we know cold. For builders and homeowners we design the low-voltage, smart-home, and lighting programs that make a home work the way it should. For contractors and subcontractors, we build custom AI that turns plans into validated designs, takeoffs, and paperwork in a fraction of the time.
For builders & homeowners
Technology design, done before the walls close.
The best smart home is designed as a system from the first set of plans — not assembled from whatever each trade happened to install. We plan the low-voltage, smart-home, and lighting programs up front so they're coordinated, buildable, and worth marketing.
Low-voltage infrastructure
Structured wiring, networking, and the connectivity backbone every other device depends on — specified as a solution, not a bandaid, before the first conduit is pulled.
Smart-home technology
Automation, security, cameras, access control, and whole-home AV planned to run on one coordinated platform — not five apps and three hubs the homeowner can't operate.
Lighting design
Architectural and landscape lighting with layered plans and control integration — developed alongside architects and designers so form and function never fight.
The integration advantage
One blueprint. Every trade, aligned.
Most smart-home failures don't happen during installation — they happen during specification, weeks earlier, when each trade independently picks products that were never designed to work together. We coordinate across every discipline so the whole house speaks the same language from rough-in.
Electrical
Dimmers, switches, and panels pre-specified for smart-home compatibility from rough-in.
Plumbing
Automated shutoff valves and leak detection coordinated into the connected-home plan.
HVAC
Integration-ready thermostats and zoning specified for smart control, not just comfort.
Building materials
Finishes, structure, and enclosures chosen with the technology plan in mind — not around it after the fact.
For contractors & subcontractors
Custom AI that turns a plan set into a build-ready design.
Take our LV plan-analyzer approach: feed it a floor plan, and it produces a marked-up low-voltage and smart-home design — rooms detected, device symbols placed, wire and device schedules generated, and a takeoff ready for your estimator to review. What used to take a designer hours becomes a first draft in minutes, with a human approving every result.
Plan analysis & markup
Floor plan in, marked-up LV/smart-home design out — rooms, device placement, and wire schedules a person reviews and signs off.
Estimating & takeoffs
Turn plans and scopes into first-draft takeoffs and proposals your team refines, instead of rebuilding every bid from scratch.
Submittals, RFIs & closeout
Generate and check the paperwork against your standards — fewer errors, faster turnaround, less time off the tools.
Common questions
Do you design low-voltage, smart home, and lighting together?
Yes — that's the point. We plan low-voltage infrastructure, smart-home technology, and lighting as one coordinated system, and align it across the electrical, plumbing, HVAC, and building-materials trades before anything is installed.
What is the LV plan-analyzer approach?
It's a custom AI workflow that reads a floor plan and drafts the low-voltage and smart-home design for it — detecting rooms, placing device symbols, and generating wire and device schedules and takeoffs — so a designer reviews and approves a draft instead of building each plan by hand.
Is Horizon a low-voltage contractor?
No. We're a consulting and development partner. For builders and homeowners we design the technology program and standards; for contractors and subs we build the AI tools that make their existing work faster and cleaner.
