There’s no denying it—technology is transforming the way we live, and it’s not slowing down any time soon. From the way we shop to how we stay connected with loved ones, everything’s gone digital. So why should your home be any different?
At Prescom Constructions, we’re seeing more homeowners across Australia embracing smart home features as an essential part of their new builds. It’s no longer just about building a house—it’s about creating a lifestyle that’s intuitive, secure, and tailored to you.
A smart home isn’t just about a fancy voice assistant telling you the weather. It’s about integrating technology into your home in a way that makes everyday life smoother, safer, and more energy-efficient.
We’re talking:
Smart lighting that adjusts to your daily routines
Automated climate control for comfort and savings
Security systems you can control from your phone
Appliance integration for ultimate convenience
Voice-activated features for a hands-free lifestyle
The best part? It’s all customisable. Whether you want the whole lot or just a few clever features, it’s all possible with the right planning from the start.

Prime Costs (PC) and Provisional Sums (PS) are essential terms in construction quotes. Prime Costs cover allowances for materials like fixtures or appliances that haven't been selected yet, offering flexibility but potentially leading to additional costs if more expensive options are chosen. Provisional Sums are estimates for work not fully defined when quoting, like excavation or retaining walls, and may change due to unforeseen circumstances. Understanding the distinction helps homeowners manage budgets and avoid surprises during the building process.
