Techome Builder LUX show

Bringing integrators and builders together, Control Designer was one of the main sponsors of this amazing event! The show will help luxury home builders leverage home technology amenities to sell more homes, increase per home revenue and realize higher levels of client satisfaction. LUX will immerse luxury builders in the benefits, features and business advantages of home technology to make this their competitive edge.

Our very own Curtis LeMaster made a presentation on collaboration between builders and integrators.  It was a round table discussion about how builders can choose the best integrator for their homes.  The discussion also reviewed how to create a better relationship between the two.

Control Designer was also on hand with a sponsor table to provide one-on-one information about technology options and features.  We were there to assist home builders with information along with providing services of consultation, design, and programming for their upcoming projects.

Control Designer was a sponsor of the 2015 YVSC (Yampa Valley Sustainability Counsil) annual Green Building Tour in Steamboat Springs, Colorado. The tour consisted of three locations. Two of the locations were single-family homes (one energy-efficient but not LEED certified and the other LEED certified.) The last location was a condominium complex that is a historical location for Steamboat Springs and is in the process of reinventing itself to provide a futuristic energy-efficient option. After the tour, Control Designer sponsored a table at the reception to provide information about green technology options along with our services for the local area.

Control Designer and Northwest Data Services are teaming up in Colorado to create Control Designer Central:  a full-service firm providing residential and commercial automation design, custom electronics, and integration services.

“We're really excited about this endeavor because it's a fantastic marriage of complementing talents,” says Jon Quinn, Chief Operating Officer of Northwest Data Services.  Northwest Data Services is an information technology company specializing in personalized technology solutions for residences and businesses.  Northwest Data Services has been in business since 1994 and is locally owned and operated in Colorado.  NDS has 20 years of IT support experience and, according to Quinn, “the biggest technical support team in the region, plus a ton of commercial wiring experience for network and phone systems, including professionally installed structured wiring and fiber optic solutions.”  Control Designer brings 15 years of expertise in commercial and residential building automation and custom audio-visual and media systems to the relationship.  Curtis LeMaster, Control System Integrator, says “Control Designer looks forward to cultivating a long-term relationship with NDS and creating the perfect systems for both residential and commercial with a strong network backbone to provide immediate support and reliability.”

Both Quinn and LeMaster have experienced the convergence of their fields over the last several years.  LeMaster states “the partnership between our companies seems almost natural due to the huge demand for a robust network at the heart of the home automation system.”  According to Quinn, networks and media are now irreversibly intertwined and the new partnership “will leverage the best of both worlds and provide our customers with end-to-end technology support.”
