Case study · Palm Beach, FL
The Harlow Residence
Independent design and a competitive bid delivered the family's full automation vision for over $100,000 less than the quotes they'd been handed.
The challenge
The Harlow family had a clear vision for an automated Palm Beach home — and a stack of integrator proposals that kept growing in scope and price. Each quote optimized for the integrator's margin, and none of them started by asking what the family actually wanted the home to do.
Our approach
We began where we always do: by listening. We documented how the family lives, designed a complete manufacturer-agnostic specification around those needs rather than around a product line, and put the project out to competitive bid among qualified integrators — reviewing every proposal line by line.
The result
The family achieved exactly the home automation they wanted, installed by a vetted integrator held to a documented standard — for over $100,000 less than the quotes they'd received before reaching out to us. Independence didn't just protect the budget; it improved the result.
