Bid smarter, win more projects and deliver automation without high overheads
Building automation is no longer a luxury reserved for premium developments and commercial properties. From multi-residential projects to commercial buildings, smart solutions are becoming a standard expectation from end customers. Yet for many contractors, installers, and developers, the real challenge is not whether to adopt automation – it’s how to deliver it profitably.
The good news is that lowering the cost of smart home and building automation installation is entirely achievable. The key lies in smarter system design, simplified installation process and reduced hardware costs thus choosing the right technology partner is paramount.
1. Simplify the Installation Process
Every hour spent on-site eats into your project margin. Traditional building management systems (BMS) often require complex cabling, numerous components, and long configuration times. By contrast, modern platforms like Bisly’s are designed with fewer components, minimal wiring, and out-of-the-box functionality.
This means:
> Faster installation cycles
> Reduced labour costs
> More projects delivered within the same timeframe
2. Standardisation Lowers Costs
Legacy automation often involves bespoke engineering – which quickly inflates both upfront and long-term expenses. Standardised, scalable systems reduce complexity, making them easier to install, easier to maintain, and more cost-effective across multiple projects.
For installers and system integrators, this not only lowers entry costs but also helps to bid more competitively without sacrificing profit.
3. Take Advantage of Remote Support and Updates
Systems that require repeated on-site visits for updates and troubleshooting can drain resources over the lifetime of a project.
With a cloud-based system and remote troubleshooting, issues can often be solved without setting foot on-site – lowering operating costs for both you and your clients.
4. Work With a Partner Who Protects Your Margin
The most effective way to reduce costs is to partner with a provider that guarantees it. At Bisly, we don’t just talk about affordability – we guarantee at least 20% savings compared to legacy providers and often deliver projects up to 50% cheaper.
For installers and contractors, that means:
> More competitive bids
> Higher retained margins
> Confidence that your partner has your back with technical support and no hidden costs
Conclusion: Smarter Automation, Higher Margins
Lowering the cost of smart home and building automation isn’t about cutting corners – it’s about cutting complexity. With streamlined installation, standardised systems, remote management, and a cost guarantee, Bisly helps partners deliver profitable projects that delight end customers.
