Sonor partners with high-end residential builders and new-build developers across Cheshire, the Wirral and North Wales — delivering smart home, lighting, cinema and AV as a coordinated first-fix package that lifts the spec of the home and the sale price.
Modern luxury buyers expect smart home integration as standard — but few builders want to manage 4 separate AV / lighting / network / security trades, hold the risk on calibration, and field the support calls after handover. We solve that. Sonor takes the whole smart-home, AV, cinema, lighting and network scope as one package, coordinates with your first-fix electricians and M&E, hands over directly to the buyer, and owns the aftercare relationship from then on.
That means: cleaner first-fix coordination, a fixed-price scope you can quote into the sale price, no orphaned handover snagging, and a finished home that buyers fall in love with at viewings. It also means a sales-spec upgrade option you can offer at exchange — turning the AV/automation scope into a margin lever instead of a cost line.
We attend a design meeting at planning / scheme stage. Smart home, lighting and AV scope is defined for the site, costed at three levels (standard / upgraded / premium), and baked into your build pack.
Cable routes, back-boxes, riser positions, network cabinet, AV plant locations — coordinated with your electricians and M&E so first-fix flows cleanly with no last-minute holes.
Three smart-home spec levels you can offer buyers as part of the sale. Lifts perceived spec without locking you into bespoke costs.
For your showhome we install the premium tier — lighting scenes that demo at every viewing, integrated cinema in the master suite, multiroom audio throughout. The single biggest emotional driver at viewing.
At exchange we can offer the buyer a paid upgrade from standard to premium tier — taking marginal cost and turning it into add-on revenue for you.
Post-handover, the buyer is a Sonor support customer, not a builder support call. Your snagging team gets their evenings back.
Developer + builder projects across Chester, Wilmslow, Alderley Edge, Knutsford, Prestbury, Tarporley, Nantwich, Sandbach, Heswall, Caldy, West Kirby, Hoylake, Llandudno, Conwy, Abersoch and surrounding areas. For larger schemes we travel further — Liverpool, Manchester, mid-Wales.
If you've got a Cheshire residential development on the boards — single luxury new build or a multi-unit scheme — we'd love to come in at planning stage and price the smart-home spec for you. Email projects@sonor.co.uk with the site address, plot count and target completion, and we'll come back within the day. See also our design partners network.
We produce a tiered smart-home specification for the development — standard, upgraded and premium — with drawings and cable schedules the site team can build from, fixed scope for each tier, and a buyer upgrade path you can offer at reservation. First-fix is coordinated with your electrical contractor and tested before boarding; second-fix and commissioning follow at the right point in the programme; and each home is handed over with documentation and direct aftercare for the purchaser.
Yes — tiered specifications with drawings and cable schedules, repeatable across plots and adaptable to house types.
Each plot is pre-wired to the standard tier; purchasers can select upgrades at reservation, delivered at second-fix without disruption to the programme.
Yes — first-fix, second-fix and commissioning are scheduled against your programme and coordinated with the electrical contractor.
We do, directly, so the developer is not the first call for technology questions.
Yes — a showhome specification that demonstrates the upgrade tiers to prospective buyers.
