An Automation Story Your Launch Can Actually Deliver

Automation helps sell the unit. It then has to survive vacant possession, the defect liability period (DLP) and the handover to the joint management body (JMB). We build the package around all three, not just the show unit.

Repeatable per Unit

One type-unit is engineered and signed off, then replicated with a per-unit ETS sub-project and serialised device schedule.

Follows Your Programme

Released block by block and floor by floor, so commissioning is never the item holding up vacant possession.

A Defect Period Without Arguments

Every unit hands over with a signed test sheet and a photographic panel record, so the cause of any defect is traceable rather than disputed.

Clean JMB Handover

As-built set, ETS backup, device inventory with warranty dates, operating guide and a training session for the building team.

WHAT YOU RECEIVE FROM US

  • Per-unit bill of quantities and cost per unit at design stage
  • Show-unit and sales-gallery scene programming
  • Rollout schedule aligned to your vacant-possession dates
  • Per-unit test sheets and handover certificates
  • JMB documentation pack and training
  • Optional maintenance contract after handover

Fixed-Scope Packages in Every Sector

Published prices for the six scopes we are asked for most often, across homes, office floors, warehouses and lecture theatres. Each one is the full engineering standard at a smaller scale, and each one extends later without replacing what is already on the bus.

The Double-Storey Terrace That Was Quoted RM71,000 Elsewhere

The owner came to us with two quotations. One was RM71,000 for a KNX system in a 22 by 75 ft terrace house. The other was RM9,800 for a bag of Wi-Fi switches and a hub. He had assumed the truth was somewhere in the middle and was mostly trying to work out which one was lying.

An occupied unit with a finished ceiling and an owner who had made it very clear that nobody was cutting the plaster. The requirement was modest and specific: stop leaving the air-conditioning running in an empty bedroom, stop the living room being either fully bright or fully dark, and be able to check the whole unit from the airport.

An Orphaned Bungalow System, Recovered Instead of Ripped Out

The house was bought with a KNX system already in it and no file, no drawings, no passwords and no installer - the company had wound up. Half the ground floor no longer responded to anything. Two contractors had already quoted to strip it out and start again, at RM120,000 and RM145,000, which is what happens when nobody wants to take responsibility for somebody else's work.

Eighteen Units at a Per-Unit Price a Developer Could Put in a Brochure

A small developer with eighteen units wanted a genuine automation story for the launch and had been told, correctly, that KNX would not work at his price point. It would not have, quoted the usual way: eighteen individually engineered units at typical design rates puts the per-unit figure somewhere no boutique project can absorb.

What the People Who Signed Off the Work Say

“The per-unit test sheets are what won us over. When a defect came in during DLP we could tell in a minute whether it was the device, the wiring or the tenant.”
Yeoh Wei ShengProject director, residential developer
“He gave us a plate schedule and sensor positions early enough to put into the drawings. Nothing had to be resolved on site in front of the client.”
Nurul Hidayah ZainalPrincipal architect
“Industrial-grade engineering at a Malaysian price. The prayer-time and festive scenes matter more to the family than I expected.”

Residential Questions

How much does a KNX system cost in Malaysia?

It scales with the number of controlled points, not with the size of the brochure. A condominium package starts around RM15,888 for lighting, air-conditioning control, app access and smart plates. Link and terrace houses typically land between RM24,000 and RM45,000, boutique offices between RM30,000 and RM50,000, a lecture theatre retrofit between RM28,000 and RM60,000, and a warehouse high-bay zoning package between RM45,000 and RM95,000. Office towers, hotels, factories, campuses and bulk residential rollouts are phased and quoted on measured scope. Whatever the figure, the engineering standard behind it does not change. Most of our work sits below RM100,000 - 388 projects of the 524 on the record - so a budget in that range is our normal day, not an exception we squeeze in.

Do I need to hack walls for KNX installation?

Not necessarily. New builds and renovations use wired KNX twisted-pair (most robust). For existing/occupied buildings we use KNX RF wireless, adding intelligence without wall-hacking.

What happens if the internet goes down - will lights stop working?

No. KNX runs on a local wired bus. Switches, sensors and schedules keep working with no internet. Internet is only needed for remote app control when away.

Should I just buy Wi-Fi smart switches instead of KNX for my house?

If you are renting and leaving in two years, sometimes yes, honestly. If you are wiring a home once, you are choosing between a closed cloud product with a typical commercial life of around four years and an international standard with certified devices from more than 500 manufacturers and no dependence on any single one surviving. The cost of being wrong is not the price difference - it is a wall you have already closed up.

We are a developer. Can you handle a multi-block rollout unit by unit?

Yes. Bulk residential rollouts are run as a repeatable unit template: one type-unit is designed, programmed and signed off, then replicated per unit with a per-unit ETS sub-project, serialised device schedule and a per-unit test sheet. Blocks are released floor by floor to follow your handover programme, and the whole package lands with JMB-ready documentation.

How do you handle the defect liability period on a developer project?

Every unit or zone is handed over with a signed test sheet and a photographic record of the panel. During DLP, faults are logged against that record so the cause is clear - installation, device or third-party works. We keep the ETS project and can attend site on an agreed response time rather than a scramble to find whoever wired it.

Will the system survive the transition from developer to JMB or MC?

That is exactly what the documentation pack is for. The JMB receives the as-built drawings, group-address list, panel schedules, ETS backup, device inventory with warranty dates, an operating guide and a training session. Because KNX is an open standard, they can appoint any certified integrator afterwards - including keeping us on a maintenance contract.

I am renting - can I still install KNX?

Wireless KNX RF can be installed and later removed/relocated, subject to landlord consent. For permanent buildings, wired KNX is recommended.
