We Specify What We Can Service.

Every brand here is one our engineers are certified on and hold spares for. We are deliberately narrow: a shorter list means deeper competence and a faster fix when something fails.

The specification

Chosen for a reason, each one.

Being certified on a platform is not the same as being tied to it. We specify per project against the brief, and we will tell you when a cheaper option is the right one.

01

Open protocol

KNX logo

KNX

Wired protocol

The open standard underneath most serious lighting and building control in Europe and the Gulf. Vendor-independent, which means a system built on it can outlive any single manufacturer.

Specified for Lighting control, blinds, and HVAC on villa and commercial projects

Zigbee logo

Zigbee

Wireless protocol

Universal mesh protocol for robust low-power wireless sensing, lighting, and peripheral automation across rooms.

Specified for Wireless mesh devices, presence, door, and climate sensing

02

Whole-home control

Control4 logo

Control4

Mature whole-home platform with the widest third-party driver library, which matters when a project inherits equipment we did not specify.

Specified for Whole-home control and AV integration

Crestron logo

Crestron

The reference platform for large estates and commercial buildings. Programmable down to the individual button, with hardware built to run for a decade in a plant room.

Specified for Large villas, boardrooms, and multi-building control

Savant logo

Savant

Apple-native control with a genuinely good app and strong distributed audio. Where the client lives in the Apple ecosystem, this is usually the shortest path to something they will actually use.

Specified for App-led whole-home control and multi-room audio

Orvibo logo

Orvibo

Full-stack smart home range covering panels, switches, curtain motors, and gateways from a single manufacturer, which keeps commissioning simple on apartment and mid-budget villa fit-outs.

Specified for Complete apartment and mid-budget villa packages

HarmonyOS logo

HarmonyOS

Next-generation distributed OS providing unified device connectivity and seamless multi-device smart home orchestration.

Specified for Cross-device integration and distributed smart control

Apple Home logo

Apple Home

Seamless iOS and Siri-native smart home ecosystem for intuitive automation, remote access, and device synchronization across Apple devices.

Specified for Apple ecosystem integration and Siri voice control

Google Home logo

Google Home

Ubiquitous voice and app control linking smart displays, cameras, and ecosystem hardware with Google Assistant integration.

Specified for Google Assistant voice control and Nest device integration

Amazon Alexa logo

Amazon Alexa

World-class voice assistant platform with expansive third-party smart device compatibility and multi-room audio routines.

Specified for Alexa voice routines and distributed smart control

03

Lighting & shading

Lutron logo

Lutron

The reference for dimming quality. Where a project has a demanding lighting design with mixed LED drivers, Lutron's curve is what stops the bottom ten percent flickering.

Specified for Premium dimming and motorised shading

04

Interfaces

Basalte logo

Basalte

Switches and panels made to a standard that survives being specified next to high-end ironmongery. Materials and tolerances are the point.

Specified for Principal-room switches and touch panels

Black Nova logo

Black Nova

Glass touch panels designed as architectural objects rather than controls. Where an interior designer has specified the wall finish first, these are the panels that survive the conversation.

Specified for Feature touch panels in principal rooms and entrances

CONTROLtronic logo

CONTROLtronic

KNX-native keypads and room controllers with a deep finish range, useful when a project needs consistent interfaces across sixty rooms rather than six.

Specified for KNX keypads and room controllers at scale

05

Power & infrastructure

Schneider Electric logo

Schneider Electric

Distribution boards, protection, and KNX hardware with UAE-wide supply and spares, which matters more than it sounds when a part fails on a Friday.

Specified for Electrical distribution and KNX infrastructure

ABB logo

ABB

Robust KNX actuator and sensor range with long product lifecycles, so a board built today can still be extended in ten years.

Specified for KNX actuators, dimmers, and sensors

eelectron logo

eelectron

Italian KNX manufacturer with a deep actuator, sensor, and room-controller range. Where a bus needs a device that does something slightly unusual, this is usually the catalogue that has it.

Specified for KNX actuators, sensors, and hotel room controllers

06

Networking

UniFi logo

UniFi

Ubiquiti's UniFi line is what we build most residential networks on: ceiling-mounted Wi-Fi 6 and 7 access points, PoE switching, and a controller that lets us diagnose a problem without a site visit.

Specified for Wi-Fi 6/7 mesh, ceiling access points, and PoE switching

Ruijie logo

Ruijie

Enterprise switching and access points that scale past what a residential range is built for, with managed port switches we specify on hotels, retail estates, and larger commercial floors.

Specified for Managed port switches and enterprise wireless

07

Audio & visual

Sony logo

Sony

Projection and display we can stand behind in a treated cinema room, with colour accuracy and lamp life that hold up over the life of the install rather than the first month.

Specified for Home cinema projection, displays, and AV sources

BenQ logo

BenQ

Strong price-to-performance in projection and meeting-room display, which makes it the sensible specification on media rooms and commercial fit-outs that do not need a reference cinema.

Specified for Media room projection and meeting room displays

Already have a platform?

If a property is part-way through a build on a system we support, we can pick it up. Bring the drawings and whatever documentation exists.
