Pricing
What a build costs.
Ranges, because the house decides. Everything below is an indicative figure. A real quote comes out of talking to Daniel about your house.
What things cost
| What | What you get | Cost |
|---|---|---|
| The first conversation | You tell Daniel what you want the house to do. He tells you whether we can do it. | Free |
| Setup | The gear you already own pulled into one system and one app. No new hardware unless something will not join. | Quoted after we talk |
| Custom home | The full build. The design, every room, one system, the custom app made for your house, the install, and support afterwards. | From $5,000 |
Full builds by size
| House | Range |
|---|---|
| 3 bedrooms | $5,000 to $9,000 |
| 4 bedrooms | $7,000 to $13,000 |
| 5 bedrooms and up | $9,500 to $18,000 |
The full build. One system running the house, the custom app made for it, setup, handover and support. Five means five bedrooms and up.
3 bedrooms is the smallest house we build for. Under that, off the shelf gear set up yourself does most of the job, and the free tools on this site still work.
What each option adds
| Option | Per room | Fixed |
|---|---|---|
| Lighting | $450 to $900 | None |
| Blinds and curtains | $900 to $1,800 | None |
| Heating and cooling | $250 to $500 | $1,200 to $2,800 |
| Cameras, sensors and locks | None | $1,800 to $4,500 |
| Audio | $600 to $1,400 | None |
| Voice control | None | $900 to $2,200 |
| Custom app for the house | Included | Included |
Every figure in this file is an indicative Melbourne range, not a quote. A real number comes out of talking to Daniel about your house.
Robots for your house
| What you get | What you get | Cost |
|---|---|---|
| A robot that watches your house | A camera robot that patrols on a schedule, streams to your phone, talks through it, and parks itself back on the charger. It runs inside the house system, so a door sensor at two in the morning can send it to go and look. | From $2,500 to $4,000 |
| The dog, delivered | A Unitree Go2 Air or Go2 Pro, supplied, set up, paired to your phone, and walked through with you. One number to call when anything goes wrong with it. | From $5,500 for the Air, from $8,500 for the Pro |
| A robot dog for your house | A Unitree Go2 EDU programmed for your house: a patrol route, meeting you at the gate, watching the doors, finding the vacuum. It sits in the same app as the lights, and Daniel supports it afterwards. | From $28,000 |
Robots for the house, supplied, set up and supported. Every figure includes the machine. The hardware is bought from an Australian reseller so the warranty is an Australian one, and every hardware price behind these ranges carries its source and the date it was read on the robots pages.
Travel
Travel is included anywhere in Australia. Melbourne is in person from the first visit. In the other five cities the first conversation is on Zoom, then Daniel flies in and does the install in one block of days.
- Melbourne
- Sydney
- Brisbane
- Perth
- Adelaide
- Hobart
What is quoted separately
Licensed electrical work is quoted by the electrician who does it, in every city, because that is the law in Australia. It is a separate number so you can see what it is rather than having it buried in a total.
- Electrical work that needs a licensed electrician, which is quoted separately by the electrician
- Buying replacement gear where what you own has no way into a single system
- Building work, patching and painting
- Network cabling in a house that has none
