How the home technology budget calculator works

The Cinergy home technology budget calculator estimates a realistic range for a smart home project based on the overall construction budget, the size of the home, and the level of integration you want. As a rule of thumb, home technology runs about 4% of project cost for essential systems, 8% for an elevated whole-home experience, and 15% or more for a fully bespoke installation covering networking, audio and video, lighting control, motorized shades, security, and climate.
