FAQs
Do you partner with custom home builders and remodelers in Metro Atlanta?
Yes—GHT Group collaborates with builders, remodelers, and GC teams to design, prewire, install, and commission integrated smart home systems on schedule and on budget.
What scopes can you handle as a single technology partner?
Lighting control (including Lutron/Ketra), motorized shades, structured wiring, enterprise-grade networking/Wi‑Fi, surveillance/security, access control, distributed audio/video, theaters, and outdoor AV/lighting.
Can you support both new construction and major renovations?
Yes—we provide rough-in plans and prewire for new builds and retrofit strategies for renovations that protect finishes while delivering modern capabilities.
How early should we engage you in the design process?
Ideally during schematic design/DD so we can coordinate circuits, panelized lighting, shade pockets, conduit, rack locations, and low-voltage pathways before framing.
Do you produce drawings and documentation?
Yes—low-voltage plans, device/elevation sheets, lighting/control risers, panel schedules, rack elevations, IP schemes, and as-built documentation for turnover.
Can you create good/better/best packages for our options catalog?
Yes—we build tiered packages with clear SKUs (rooms, loads, shade counts, network tiers) so sales teams can price consistently and clients can upgrade easily.
How do you keep walls clean in design-forward homes?
We use panelized lighting, centralized AV racks, hidden/architectural speakers, and minimalist keypads; equipment niches are coordinated with cabinetry and millwork.
Can you coordinate with our electrician and HVAC subs?
Yes—we align breaker and load schedules, keypad locations, low-voltage drops, thermostat/relay integration, and mechanical clearances to avoid clashes and rework.
What is your approach to Wi‑Fi and networking for larger homes?
We use wired backhaul to multiple access points, business-class routing, VLANs for IoT/guest traffic, and UPS/surge protection for reliability and safety.
Do you handle shade pockets and large window spans?
Yes—prewire and blocking for pocket installations, high-torque motors for tall drops, coordinated fascias/side channels, and fabric schedules approved with the design team.
Can you help with model homes and sales centers?
Yes—fully functional demo scenes, concealed racks, and easy-to-use remotes/touchscreens help your team show buyers the experience without daily tech support.
How do you manage client selections and change orders?
We provide selection sheets (keypads/finishes/fabrics), publish cutoffs by phase, and route changes through a documented approval process with clear cost/time impacts.
Do you meet code and inspection requirements?
Yes—we follow NEC low-voltage practices, label home runs, provide low-voltage panel schedules, use listed power supplies, and coordinate inspections with your superintendent.
How do you protect schedule and jobsite security?
We stage gear offsite, deliver just-in-time, lock/control high-value equipment, and maintain chain-of-custody and device serial logs for warranty and service.
Will you train homeowners and take support calls after closing?
Yes—owner orientation, quick-start guides, and optional service plans/remote monitoring shift technology support from your team to ours.
Can you integrate our preferred brands or stay platform-agnostic?
Yes—we recommend the right mix (e.g., Control4/Crestron with Lutron/Ketra), but we can align with builder standards where they exist.
Do you offer value engineering without sacrificing performance?
Yes—we optimize circuits, right-size amplifiers and access points, reuse viable wiring, and prioritize features to hit target budgets while preserving the experience.
How do you ensure reliability long term?
We specify clean power and surge/UPS, maintain configuration backups, enable remote diagnostics, and schedule firmware windows post-close to minimize surprises.
Are you insured and able to provide COIs and W‑9?
Yes—COI and W‑9 are available upon request; we follow your site safety and orientation requirements.
What does your project process look like?
Discovery with builder/design team → preliminary budgets and packages → detailed drawings/submittals → prewire/rough-in → trim and device install → programming/commissioning → homeowner training and turnover with as-builts.
