Design Partners

Working with the best architects, designers & builders

Sonor collaborates with architects, interior designers and high-end builders across Cheshire, North Wales and the Wirral. We come in at design stage — not when the walls are already up — so smart home, cinema, lighting and AV are designed in rather than retrofitted on.

Typical project value

Chester

+ Wirral, N Wales

For two decades we've been the smart home half of luxury residential projects across the North West — wired into the architectural drawings, the M&E coordination, and the build programme from day one.

If you design or build at the £1M+ residential end, your clients almost always end up asking about cinema rooms, smart lighting, multiroom audio, hidden TVs, automated blinds and integrated AV. That's the conversation we're here for — and we'll come in via your specification so it lands as part of your design, not bolted on afterwards by someone else.

Who we collaborate with

Architects, designers & builders

We work alongside the design and build community across Cheshire, North Wales and the Wirral on high-end residential projects. We only list partners on this page with their written agreement — if you'd like your firm featured, please get in touch.

Architects

Concept & new-build practices

Cheshire · Wirral · North Wales

We slot in at design stage — riser positions, ceiling pre-routes, structured-wiring backbones — so smart home, cinema and AV are part of the drawing set, not a retrofit problem later.

Interior Designers

Residential interiors specialists

Cheshire · Wirral · North Wales

We hide the technology so your scheme reads cleanly — flush keypads in matched finishes, invisible speakers, hidden TVs, motorised shading and lighting scenes that disappear when not in use.

Builders & Developers

Premium residential contractors

Cheshire · Wirral · North Wales

We coordinate cleanly with M&E at first-fix — cable runs, back boxes, containment, plant-room positions — so second-fix is install-only with no surprises mid-programme.

How collaboration works

Four ways we plug into your process

Whether you're an architect at concept stage, an interior designer specifying a brief, or a builder coordinating M&E — there's a clean way for Sonor to slot in.

Concept-stage advice

We'll attend an early design meeting — no fee — to flag what's worth designing in (riser positions, ceiling pre-routes, room acoustics, RJ45/cat6 backbone). One conversation saves a five-figure retrofit.

Specification & drawings

Full AV/smart-home specification documents that drop straight into your tender pack — schedule of equipment, containment requirements, room-by-room cable schedule, control system architecture.

First-fix coordination

We work alongside your electricians and main contractor at first-fix — cable runs, back boxes, structural cut-outs, plant-room positions — so second-fix is install-only with no surprises.

Handover & support

Full handover documentation for the homeowner, ongoing remote support and software updates. Your client stays a Sonor client — you don't get phone calls in two years' time about a remote that's stopped working.
