Online Tool Provides Homeowners With Home Cinema,
Smart Home, VR Room Packages And Estimates
Andrew Lucas London has launched an
online design tool that allows homeowners
to quickly scope out their smart home
project and receive an instant, accurate
estimation as to how much their dream smart
property will cost.
The online quotation tool covers Andrew
Lucas’ three main services: home cinemas,
smart homes and virtual reality; with the idea
being that users will be able to see how the
sum could be split along a monthly payment
scheme, allowing them to pay for their home
Andrew Lucas London’s online tool can be
over a period of time rather than having to
used to specifi c and price home cinemas
purchase everything upfront.
“One of the main frustrations a typical
smart home customer has is in understanding the ‘hidden’ costs that occur in a smart home project,”
explained Krystian Zajac, chairman and founder of Andrew Lucas London. “Our new quotation tool
brings complete transparency to the quotation process.”
Although the specifi c products cannot be disclosed, the company’s fully furnished home
cinema offering includes a professional projection system and screen (including 4K Ultra-HD
projection system with HDR support options), acoustic treatment and 5.1, 7.1 or 3D audio
speaker systems, (including hidden speakers), AV receiver, universal remote and climate and
lighting control. All of the company’s smart homes, home cinemas and VR rooms are designed
and installed by the Andrew Lucas team.
For a smart home project, prospective homeowners can input the basic details of their
property and select up to three packages: security, comfort and entertainment.
Included in this offering are intruder alarms, smoke and leak detection, indoor/outdoor
cameras, video doorbells, heating control, smart lighting, motorised shades, voice control
integration, unifi ed control, as well as multiroom audio/surround-sound audio, video distribution
and streaming a outdoor speakers.
The company also provides a VR room service, allowing prospective homeowners to explore their
properties in detail and suggest changes before construction begins on their project. The company’s
VR room offering is described as a ‘wireless, backpack-based experience’ that includes high-end VR
platforms and gaming PCs, as well as room-scale tracking technology, acoustic treatment, 3D audio
speakers, plus, the virtual reality room can be fi tted with extra technology to double up as a panic room.
