Technology integration firms offer intelligently controlled systems tailored for luxury homes. Yet, firms like Precision Media Solutions frequently face the same challenge- they are introduced to the project after a budget is finalized, and a permit is pulled.“ The architects are often the first people on the project, and we’ re often not brought in until the builders are heavily involved and we’ re well into framing.
