Top 10 Questions Developers Have About Avande Select
Integrating smart home technology into residential developments is no longer a trend—it’s a necessity. But as a developer, you may wonder how Avande Select (The Smart Home Tech, Fitting and Furnishings Portal) can simplify your process, meet buyer expectations, and boost the appeal of your projects. Here, we address the most common questions developers ask about Avande Select.
1. What is Avande Select?
Avande Select is a unique portal that provides homeowners with a personalised platform to explore and choose smart home technology tailored to their property. It takes the guesswork out of pre-installing tech during the build phase, offering homeowners customisation while ensuring developers don’t face added complexity or costs.
2. How does the portal integrate with my development process?
The portal is designed to seamlessly work with your build process. Developers upload floorplans, and Avande scans these to create a bespoke selection of smart home options for each unit. Integration occurs post-completion, so there’s no impact on your build timeline.
3. Does this mean added costs for developers?
No, developers only pay a one-off onboarding fee per unit to create the portal. Avande’s solutions are structured to be cost-neutral or even cost-saving by removing the need for pre-installed tech, allowing buyers to opt in for the features they want.
4. What types of technology can homeowners choose?
The portal offers a broad range of smart solutions, including intelligent lighting, zonal heating, multi-room audio systems, security cameras, and automated blinds. These options are tailored to the property type and the demographic of the development.
5. What if a project is already completed or under construction?
Avande Select works for developments at any stage—whether pre-construction, mid-build, or post-completion. For completed projects, the portal offers retrofit solutions that require no rewiring or major modifications, ensuring minimal disruption.
6. Will homeowners need special wiring or pre-installed systems?
No, the majority of solutions are wireless, operating via WiFi, Zigbee, or Bluetooth protocols. This eliminates the need for pre-installed infrastructure, making the portal suitable for any property.
7. How does the portal benefit developers directly?
Avande Select adds significant marketing value by positioning your development as “smart-enabled.” Buyers are more likely to choose a property that allows for easy personalisation, giving your project a competitive edge in the market.
8. How do we introduce the portal to homeowners?
The portal is best introduced once buyers have paid their deposit. They receive a unique login, allowing them to explore and customise their smart solutions before moving in or at their convenience post-completion.
9. Can this system work for build-to-rent (BTR) developments?
Yes, the portal is ideal for BTR schemes. Technology can be customised or removed as occupancy changes, offering flexibility for landlords while maintaining appeal for tenants.
10. What if homeowners need help or experience issues with their smart systems?
Avande provides full aftercare support, including installation assistance and troubleshooting. Developers are not burdened with technical queries, as all homeowner concerns are handled directly by Avande.
