– INDEPENDENT TECHNOLOGY ADVISORY

The architect for your home’s technology.

A new kind of advisor – finally.


For decades, the company that installs your home technology also designs it — creating conflicts of interest that cost homeowners dearly. Spexi changes that. We provide the independent design and planning layer that luxury residential projects have always needed, without displacing your integrator.

– THE PROBLEM

Every other design discipline separates design from installation. Technology never has.

Your architect doesn't build your home. Your lighting designer doesn't wire it. Your landscape architect doesn't plant it. In every professional discipline, the person who designs the work is independent from the person who installs it.

Home technology is the only exception. The integrator designs the system, sells the equipment, installs it, and supports it. That's an enormous scope, and it leaves a gap: an independent voice focused solely on the homeowner's vision from the very start.

Luxury homes have grown dramatically more complex — lighting control, whole-home AV, enterprise networking, security, automation, EV infrastructure, solar, air and water quality. That complexity benefits everyone when there's a dedicated design layer coordinating it from the beginning.

The industry is at a tipping point. Spexi is already there.

The old model has five predictable problems. Spexi solves all of them.

– WHY IT MATTERS

The Traditional Model

Integrator-Led Design

Conflicts of interestThe firm designing your system also profits from selling and installing it. Their recommendations are not independent.
Late-stage decisionsTechnology is treated as an afterthought — brought in after design is complete, when changes are expensive and compromises inevitable.
Budget surprisesWithout an independent scope developed early, costs can be difficult to predict — leaving homeowners with less clarity and leverage than they deserve.
Poor coordinationTechnology, architecture, and interior design speak different languages. Without a dedicated translator, details fall through the gaps.
Design compromisesWhen technology infrastructure is planned after architecture is finalized, integration requires workarounds that wouldn't be necessary with earlier planning.

The Spexi Model

Independent Design Layer

True independenceWe have no financial relationship with any vendor or installer. Our only incentive is your outcome. Every recommendation is made solely in your interest.
Early engagementWe join your project team in the design phase — when decisions are still flexible, budgets are still open, and infrastructure can be properly planned.
Clear, realistic budgetsWe develop independent scopes and budgets before any contractor is engaged — giving you clarity, leverage, and confidence going in.
Your voice at every tableWe bridge your vision with your architect's design and your integrator's expertise — making sure everyone is working toward the same goal.
Technology that fits the homeSystems are designed around the architecture, the aesthetic, and how you actually live — from the very beginning.

Think of us as your technology architect — from concept to commissioning.

– WHAT WE DO

We don't sell equipment. We don't install systems. We design, plan, and oversee — across every technology discipline that touches your home — so the result serves your life, not the installer's business model.

01

Technology Planning & Specification

We translate how you want to live into a complete, documented technology plan — systems, scopes, budgets — before a contractor is engaged.

02

Lighting & Architectural Ambience

Lutron systems, Ketra tunable lighting, DMF, Lumenwerx — specified to serve the space architecturally and atmospherically, not just functionally.

03

AV, Home Theater & Whole-Home Audio

We design entertainment experiences — from distributed Bluesound audio to dedicated cinema spaces — and oversee their installation to spec.

04

Automation & Control Systems

Crestron, Control4, and beyond — we determine which platform serves your project and ensure it's designed for how your household actually lives.

05

Network, Security & Infrastructure

Enterprise-grade networking, surveillance, access control, and power management — specified independently and integrated seamlessly.

06

Budget Planning & Contractor Oversight

We develop independent budgets, evaluate bids objectively, and stay engaged through commissioning — protecting your investment throughout.

– HOW IT WORKS

A structured process, from vision to finished home.


01

DISCOVERY

Understanding How You Live

We begin with a deep conversation about your priorities, preferences, and vision — not a product catalog. How you use the home drives every decision.

02

DESIGN

Building Your Technology Plan

We develop a complete technology roadmap — systems, scopes, and budgets — integrated with your architect and design team before ground is broken.

We engage early and stay engaged — through design, construction, and final commissioning.

03

SELECTION

Finding the Right Partners

We identify, vet, and help you select integrators and specialists — reviewing bids objectively, protecting against scope gaps and overpriced proposals.

04

DELIVERY

Overseeing to Completion

We stay engaged through construction, commissioning, and handoff — ensuring every system performs exactly as designed and you know how to use it.

– WHY NOW

Thirty years ago, lighting was designed by electricians.

Today, nearly every luxury residential project includes an independent lighting designer. The idea of an electrician controlling those decisions seems strange now — but it was completely normal then.

The same transformation is happening in residential technology. The industry developed installation-first, not design-first — but the complexity of modern homes has made that model untenable. Spexi is pioneering the design layer that the industry has always lacked.

"We're not replacing the integrator. We're adding the design layer that was always missing."

In every discipline, design and installation are separate.

Discipline Designer Installer
Architecture Architect Builder
Lighting Lighting Designer Electrician
Structural Structural Engineer Contractor
Landscape Landscape Architect Landscaper
Home Technology Spexi New Integrator

Until recently, the integrator held both roles. That's the structural problem Spexi was built to solve.

– WHY SPEXI
