Technology in focus for many home remodelers

Christmas season is upon us, and many people are focusing on the latest and greatest gadgets to stuff under the tree. That line of thinking is also true for people thinking of remodeling!

Technology can be incorporated into both the construction and the planning process of remodeling.

First up is the way smart features are starring in many remodels, according to Kitchen & Bath Design News.

The article, citing a recent Houzz survey, says nearly half (45%) or people in the process of or finished remodeling are looking to add or have added smart technology to their homes.

The decisions aren’t limited to one area of the home either, the article says. People are looking into smart technology for entertainment, climate control, security, and lighting. Comfort and style is the name of the game.

Technology is helping the remodeling planning stage too.

From SFGate, a startup in San Francisco has developed an iPad app that works in conjunction with a Structure Sensor that allows users to scan a room and instantly take measurements from it.

The efficiency isn’t without cost though. The sensor costs $379, and requires a wide-angle lens at an additional cost.

I think it’s safe to say what MK Remodeling & Design is asking Santa for this Christmas!

Have a great week!
