Smart Home Prewire Checklist for Custom Builds in Troon

In Troon, where modern desert architecture meets refined resort living, today’s luxury homes are built around more than design—they’re built around technology. As smart home automation becomes a cornerstone of luxury living, proper prewiring during construction is essential.

At Oasis Smart Homes, we work closely with Troon builders, architects, and designers to create custom prewire plans that prepare homes for lighting control, networking, audio, shades, and security—all elegantly integrated and future-ready. Whether you’re building your dream residence or developing a luxury estate, this checklist ensures your home is engineered for seamless performance, reliability, and longevity.

Why Prewiring Matters in Luxury Home Construction

Smart homes don’t start with devices—they start with infrastructure. Prewiring ensures that the systems you want today and the technologies you’ll add in the future can be installed cleanly, without tearing into walls or compromising design.

Key Benefits of Prewiring

• Future-Proofing: Prepare your home for evolving smart technology and upgrades.
• Design Integration: Conceal wiring for a clean, architectural finish.
• Performance and Reliability: Hardwired connections ensure faster speeds and stable systems.
• Resale Value: A well-prewired home commands premium value and appeal.
• Simplified Construction: Avoid costly retrofits or last-minute wiring changes.

A thoughtful prewire design ensures your home’s aesthetics and technology evolve together—gracefully and intelligently.

The Smart Home Prewire Checklist

Here’s what every custom Troon build should include to support a fully integrated smart home system.

1. Structured Wiring and Network Infrastructure

The network is the foundation of the smart home. Oasis Smart Homes designs structured wiring systems that support high-speed internet, whole-home Wi-Fi, and future technologies.

• CAT6 or CAT6A cabling to all TVs, access points, and automation hubs.
• Fiber-optic cable for ultra-fast internet or future ISP upgrades.
• Centralized low-voltage rack for routers, switches, and distribution hardware.
• Hardwired connections for streaming devices and smart TVs.
• Conduit pathways for easy future cable additions.

A strong, wired network backbone ensures your automation systems perform flawlessly, without lag or interference.

2. Lighting Control and Keypad Wiring

Smart lighting adds comfort, control, and ambiance. Prewiring for Lutron HomeWorks, Savant, or Crestron allows clean installation of dimmers, switches, and scene-based control keypads.

• Low-voltage wiring from lighting control panels to each load or zone.
• Cat6 or QS link for keypad and processor communication.
• Dedicated circuits for architectural lighting, cove lighting, and exterior fixtures.
• Integration points for lighting scenes, motion sensors, and occupancy control.

Lighting control wiring is one of the most important—and most difficult—to retrofit later, making it a priority in every new build.

3. Motorized Shades and Window Treatments

Troon homes often feature expansive windows that capture desert views but also invite solar heat. Prewiring for motorized shades ensures seamless integration with lighting and climate systems.

• Power and control wiring to each window or shade group.
• Dedicated circuits for Lutron Palladiom or Savant shade motors.
• Low-voltage cabling for quiet, low-profile motor systems.
• Control pathways for future automation or remote control upgrades.

Prewiring ensures shade hardware remains hidden and architectural finishes remain pristine.

4. Whole-Home Audio and Video Distribution

A whole-home AV system delivers entertainment in every room, without visible equipment or cables.

• Speaker wire to all living areas, bedrooms, and outdoor zones.
• HDMI or HDBaseT wiring for centralized video distribution.
• Subwoofer cabling for media rooms or theaters.
• Conduit to TVs for future upgrades (e.g., 8K video).
• Wiring for outdoor audio systems near patios and pools.

Oasis Smart Homes uses brands like McIntosh, Savant Music, and James Loudspeaker to achieve the highest fidelity in every zone.

5. Security and Surveillance

Luxury homes in Troon benefit from layered, integrated security systems that balance protection and privacy.

• CAT6 wiring to all camera locations (interior and exterior).
• Prewire for motion sensors, glass break sensors, and door/window contacts.
• Gate and access control wiring for driveways or pedestrian entries.
• Integration points for smart locks, door stations, and intercoms.
• Power and data cabling to network video recorders (NVRs).

These systems can later integrate with Control4, Savant, or Crestron for full control from your smartphone or touch panel.

6. Climate Control and Energy Management

Smart thermostats and climate zones enhance comfort and efficiency in desert living.

• Thermostat wiring compatible with Savant Multistat, Ecobee Pro, or Lutron Palladiom.
• Sensor cabling for temperature, humidity, and occupancy monitoring.
• Integration points for HVAC zoning, radiant systems, or pool control.
• Optional wiring for solar power management or backup energy systems.

This infrastructure allows precise comfort control—while maintaining energy efficiency across your home’s multiple levels and zones.

7. Outdoor Living Integration

Troon homeowners value indoor-outdoor living. Prewire outdoor areas for lighting, audio, and automation before the hardscape and landscaping are complete.

• Low-voltage lighting and path fixtures.
• Speaker wire and subwoofer cabling for patios, pools, and fire features.
• Data and power connections for outdoor TVs or projection systems.
• Control wiring for pool and spa systems.
• Network access points for reliable Wi-Fi coverage outdoors.

These upgrades ensure your outdoor spaces are ready for smart automation that matches the comfort of your interiors.

8. Control System Integration

All smart home devices should connect through a unified control system. Oasis Smart Homes designs prewire plans compatible with Savant, Control4, or Crestron, enabling total system integration.

• Centralized wiring from panels, AV racks, and processors.
• Power and data lines to touchscreens and wall keypads.
• Wiring for voice assistants such as Josh.ai.
• Network paths for remote system access and future expansion.

The result is an elegant, easy-to-use control experience that feels intuitive and reliable from day one.
