Trade Partners
A specification partner for the professionals building the home
ADG Smart Home works as a low-voltage subcontractor and technology consultant alongside builders, architects, designers, realtors, and property managers throughout Orange County and North San Diego County.
How we fit in
One subcontractor, coordinated in writing
We join a project as a single accountable trade — not a collection of installers. Every scope is written before work begins, every schedule commitment is tracked against your milestones, and every deliverable is something you can hand to your client without translation.
Who we work with
Built around three kinds of partnerships
Builders & General Contractors
Low-voltage scopes delivered on your schedule, with rough-in walkthroughs and documentation your team can hand to the client.
- Pre-drywall rough-in coordination
- Written scopes for bid packages
- Single point of contact per project
Architects & Designers
Equipment that respects the drawing set — keypad placement, speaker layout, and shade pockets resolved before framing.
- Reflected ceiling plan collaboration
- Finish and trim matching
- Concealed and flush-mount options
Realtors & Property Managers
System assessments before listing, handoff documentation at close, and support for tenants and new owners.
- Pre-listing technology assessments
- Ownership transfer walkthroughs
- Responsive tenant support
Schedule integration
Timed to your construction milestones
Low-voltage work fails when it's an afterthought. We build our schedule around yours, from pre-construction documentation through commissioning.
01
Pre-construction
We review drawings, confirm scope with your team, and issue a written low-voltage package before permitting.
02
Rough-in
Cabling, backboxes, and sleeving land before drywall, with a walkthrough alongside your electrician to confirm locations.
03
Trim
Keypads, panels, speakers, and displays are set to finish specifications once paint and millwork are complete.
04
Commissioning & handoff
Systems are programmed, tested, and documented, with a walkthrough for your client and your team.
Documentation
Deliverables built for handoff
Every project leaves a paper trail your team can use long after we've left the site — a written scope, as-built notes describing what is behind the walls, a labeled equipment rack, and a client handoff packet covering apps, credentials, and care options.

Trade FAQ
Questions we hear from builders and design teams
Both, depending on the project. We are comfortable communicating with homeowners directly on technology decisions while keeping your team looped in on schedule and scope.
