Sydney Builders · Architects · Designers

Technology planning belongs at the design table.

Opulent AV works with builders, architects and designers across Sydney to coordinate automation, lighting, AV, security, access, CCTV, networking and building technology before construction decisions become expensive to change.

Early Design Involvement

Resolve the technology before it reaches site.

The best integrated systems start with coordinated design. Early involvement lets us protect architectural intent while ensuring the technology has the pathways, power, network, equipment space and interfaces it needs.

01

Technology Brief

Define how the client wants to live, work, entertain and interact with the property before choosing individual products.

02

System Architecture

Plan how Control4, DALI, DMX, AV, Protege, CCTV, HVAC, networking and other systems will communicate and operate together.

03

Equipment Locations

Allocate racks, panels, controllers, network hardware and service access before cabinetry and joinery are finalised.

04

Lighting Coordination

Coordinate DALI/DMX control, fittings, drivers, switching and interface requirements with the electrical and lighting design.

05

Security & Access

Plan door hardware, readers, intercom, CCTV and ICT Protege requirements alongside architectural and electrical details.

06

Future Capacity

Allow sensible pathways and infrastructure for expansion without unnecessarily overcomplicating the initial build.

Documentation & Pre-Wire

Clear information for the people building the project.

Good documentation reduces assumptions on site and gives the builder and other trades a clear picture of what the technology systems require.

The exact document set depends on project scope, but the objective remains the same: coordinate before installation rather than solve clashes after finishes are complete.

02 · CablingPathways and cable requirementsDefine structured cabling and specialist wiring needed for AV, automation, security, lighting and network systems.
03 · EquipmentRack, panel and controller allowancesPlan equipment spaces with power, ventilation, access and cable management considered early.
04 · InterfacesTrade-to-trade coordinationClarify the points where electrical, HVAC, lighting, security, access and AV systems need to interact.
Construction Coordination

One technology partner across multiple disciplines.

Because Opulent works across several technology categories, we can reduce the number of gaps between trades and keep the integrated system intent intact through construction.

COORDINATION 01

Electrical

Power, lighting control, equipment supplies, switched loads and interface requirements.

COORDINATION 02

HVAC

Control interfaces, zoning, plant communication and automation behaviours.

COORDINATION 03

Joinery & Interiors

Displays, speakers, touchscreens, racks and technology locations coordinated with finished design.

COORDINATION 04

Security & Doors

Readers, locks, intercom, door hardware and access-control requirements resolved with the relevant trades.

Integrated Scope

More than AV coordination.

Opulent can participate across the wider technology package, which allows the design team to coordinate related systems as one technology strategy.

Residential

Whole-home technology design

Automation, architectural lighting, private cinema, multiroom AV, security, access, CCTV, networking, HVAC and energy integration.

Integrated Project Examples

Integration across very different project types.

The same design discipline applies whether the project is a large residence, hospitality venue or childcare centre — coordinate the specialist systems early, then make them operate as one environment.

AUTOMATIONCross-system logic designed into the project rather than added as an afterthought
Design Team Collaboration

Bring Opulent into the project before rough-in.

Early coordination gives the builder and design team time to resolve the technology properly, protect the architecture and avoid unnecessary rework later.
