WHEN YOUR CLIENTS ARE CONSIDERING
THE TYPE OF PRODUCT TO RETROFIT TO THEIR
HOME, IT’S SMART TO KNOW THE BIG TRENDS
THAT ARE IMPROVING HOMES ACROSS
THE COUNTRY. NOT EVERY IMPROVEMENT
REQUIRES WALLS TO BE KNOCKED DOWN!
emember that scene in Back to the Future 2, when Marty and Jennifer
visit ‘their’ home in the future? Well, that ‘future’ was almost four years
ago – 21 October 2015. Doesn’t that make you feel old?
Although the flying hoverboards and flying cars never made it into the
mainstream (despite attempts), some of the other ‘predictions’ came true – video
calling and biometric technology, for example.
Today, when home improvements take place, it’s very much with one eye on the
future. Of course, there’s a fine line between gadgets that’ll be useful in the long
run and those that will be a complete fad and date before you can say ‘Great Scott’.
But for those contractors in the know, there’s a huge amount of value add you
can deliver when the plans are being drawn up. And more work for you to grab!

reflect this.
PLUG POINT PLACEMENT FULLY CHARGED
Plug points on tiles can spoil
the aesthetic. If the client’s
planning wall-hung kitchen
cupboards, suggest placing
power points at regular
intervals underneath the unit. From USB plug points to
cordless charging stations,
you can bring a home right
slap, bang into the 21st
century with some handily
placed charging solutions.
BEHIND CLOSED DOORS SAFETY FIRST
Work out with your client
where items such as coffee
machines, microwaves,
toasters and kettles will be
housed – even if it’s
behind closed doors. Ensure safety’s taken also
into account with smoke
alarms in the right places.
