Smart Living Experiences

Written by Allbridge Support | (Feb, 19 25)

Technology is continuously fusing with our lives, making the day-to-day more convenient. And as technology progresses, smart living experiences are set to become our definite future. Let’s look at some smart living technology you can integrate into your multi-family properties to make your residents more secure and comfortable. 

Step Into the Future 

Of all types of real estate, multi-family properties are showing robust demand. The 2019 U.S. Census Bureau shows that about 31.4% of modern real estate in the country are multi-family properties. As innovation evolves, smart home technology becomes an essential amenity of multifamily residences.  

By joining the smart living expectation, the range of benefits will get you excited: 

  • Lower Energy Costs: Smart thermostats, lighting, and water meters can help your residents easily manage their utility usage more efficiently. 
  • Anticipate Maintenance Issues: Smart sensors can detect leaks or malfunctions in appliances or systems, allowing for early detection and prevention of costly repairs. 
  • Attract More High-Quality Residents: Tenants looking for smart home features are willing to spend $25-$100 more monthly based on surveys and research from the National Apartment Association and the National Multifamily Housing Council. 
  • Enhanced Security: Another important integration of smart living experiences is improved security. Smart locks, security cameras, and IP video intercoms can provide your residents with 24/7 surveillance and access control to their units. 
  • Ultimate Comfort and Convenience: The creation of a smart home is centered around providing comfort and convenience for its residents.  

The advancement of home technology has made it possible for multi-family property owners to offer their tenants a more convenient, efficient, and secure way of living.

Design and Planning 

The foundation of our integration process begins with a thorough design and planning phase. Our tech and innovation experts will collaborate closely with you to understand your unique needs and preferences. 

We will conduct a comprehensive property assessment, considering existing infrastructure, aesthetic preferences, user requirements, and more. We prioritize functionality and user experience, developing tailored solutions that integrate innovative technology seamlessly into the environment. 

Detailed planning involves creating schematic designs and proposing the most suitable technology solutions that align with your vision. This stage also includes establishing timelines and budgets to ensure the project stays on track and within financial parameters. 

Engineering 

Once the design is finalized, we move into the engineering phase, where our team translates concepts into tangible solutions. 

We consult with you on hardware choices, providing discussion and guidance on the feature sets and capabilities, and then assist with selecting the most appropriate hardware. Our engineers optimize the system for performance, scalability, and security, ensuring that every element functions harmoniously within the broader smart living ecosystem. 

This phase also involves rigorous testing of the proposed solutions to ensure compatibility and reliability before installation. 

Installation 

With a robust engineering plan in place, we continue with the installation phase. Our experienced operations team handles the entire installation process with minimal disruption to residents for a retrofit project. In a new construction project, Allbridge collaborates closely with the owner/developer, general contractors, and the various sub-trades to ensure tight scope alignment with minimal scope gaps. 

Our expert operations staff prioritize safety and efficiency, adhering to all industry standards and best practices. Every installation team member is trained to manage various technologies, from smart lighting and climate control systems to Wi-Fi and advanced security solutions. 

Throughout the installation, we keep open lines of communication with Allbridge project managers to deliver updates and address any questions or concerns. The goal is to ensure a smooth installation experience, resulting in a fully functional smart living environment.
