Built smart, from the studs out.
Bring us in during design — before drywall, before the trades converge — and the smart home becomes part of the architecture, not a thing bolted on after. One low-voltage partner, one schedule, one clean handoff.
Roughly the multiple of pre-wire-stage cost vs. post-drywall retrofit for the same scope.
On site before the rocker, every wire run, conduit, and box is in the right place the first time.
Low-voltage, AV, voice, network, and security — one team, one schedule, one point of contact.
The earlier we meet, the better the home.
Tell us about your project. We’ll join your next design meeting — or walk the site if framing is up — and put together a phased smart-home scope that fits the build budget and timeline.
We work directly with builders, architects, designers, and owners. No charge for the first consultation — and no pressure if our scope doesn’t fit your project.

We’ll respond within one business day.
Five phases. One team. Move-in works on day one.
Every Alamo new-construction project follows the same arc — calibrated to your build schedule, coordinated with every other trade.
Design Review
We sit down with the architect, builder, and owner. We mark up the plans, propose keypad and speaker locations, and right-size the system to the budget.
Rough-In
Cabling, conduit, structured wiring, and back-boxes go in alongside the electrician. Every run documented, labeled, and as-built drawn.
Trim & Mount
After paint, we trim out: keypads, touchscreens, in-ceiling speakers, hidden subs, cameras, and the rack room. Clean, finished, integrated.
Programming
Josh.ai voice, scenes, and keypads calibrated room by room — based on how the family will actually use the home, not a generic template.
Move-In Day
Family walkthrough, training, and handoff. The home works on day one — no smart-home punch list. Local Texas support after.
Your low-voltage problems, handled.
Most builders we work with start by saying the same thing: smart-home is the trade they trust the least. Disorganized vendors, last-minute change orders, finger-pointing when something doesn’t work on move-in.
Alamo Smart Home solves that by acting like a real subcontractor. Drawings stamped, schedule honored, RFIs answered same-day, change orders documented, walk-through checklists complete before final.
- Submittals on time. Drawings, cut-sheets, and wiring schedules before pre-con.
- One schedule. Rough-in week, trim week, final — your calendar, not ours.
- Clean handoff. As-builts, warranties, and owner training done before close.
- Local support. A Texas-based team that answers the phone.
Designed to belong, not interrupt.
Smart-home tech only earns its place in a luxury home if it disappears into the design. That’s a conversation we have at the schematic stage, not after the millwork is built.
We work with your spec board: Lutron palette, speaker grilles, keypad finishes, hidden subwoofer cavities, in-mirror displays, retractable projectors. The smart home shows up as a series of clean, intentional moments — never as plastic afterthoughts on the wall.
- Finish-matched hardware. Wood inlays, painted bezels, flush speaker trim — to the spec.
- Hidden when it should be. Concealed displays, in-cabinet racks, cameras in the eaves.
- Lighting design alignment. Lutron scenes built around the designer’s intent.
- One bid sheet. A spec-matched proposal that drops straight into the budget.
One elegant control surface, in every room that wants one.
The Josh Touchscreen replaces the row of mechanical switches and remotes that used to clutter a luxury wall. Lights, shades, music, climate, scenes, cameras — all from a single glass surface that disappears into your trim.
Because we’re on the project at design, we lock placement before framing — and frame for the exact size in each room. No retrofitted surface boxes, no awkward cutouts, no compromises.
- Located by intent. Every keypad marked on the plans before walls go up.
- Sized by room. Multiple sizes; we spec the right one per space.
- Finished to disappear. Trim coordinated to the design board.
- Programmed by Alamo. Each keypad shows what matters in its room.
Wired in at rough. Invisible at finish.
The Josh Micro is a discreet long-range microphone that hears you clearly from across the room — even with music playing. We place one in every room you’d want to talk to, and we wire each one in during rough.
Wired voice matters on a new build. Battery and Wi-Fi mics drop out, sound poor in finished rooms, and look like consumer gadgets in a luxury home. A Micro wired into the ceiling never needs a recharge — and survives multiple homeowners.
- One per voice room. Kitchen, suite, theater, study, pool deck — wired at rough.
- Far-field beamforming. Hears across an open floor plan.
- Privacy-first. Nothing leaves the home unless you ask.
- Two finishes. Carrera White or Onyx Black, wall or tabletop.
The world’s first architectural microphone — designed to disappear.
For interiors where even a Micro is one object too many, the Josh Nano mounts flush into the wall or ceiling — a single quarter-sized aperture, paintable to match. It’s the kind of detail that only exists when the integrator is in the room at design — which is exactly the point of this page.
What your family will use, every day.
After the build is done and the keypads are trimmed in, the family lives in the home through three surfaces — touch, voice, and the app. Here’s how the app feels.
Your home, mapped out.
Browse by room, by floor, or by zone. Every device exactly where it lives.
Every device, one tap away.
Lights, shades, music, climate, cameras — controlled from any screen.
Scenes for the way you live.
“Movie Night,” “Goodnight,” “Dinner Party” — built around your routines.
Security at a glance.
Live cameras, alarm status, locks, and access — without leaving the app.
The smart home you don’t know you’ll want yet.
Pulling cable when the walls are open costs almost nothing. Pulling it after costs everything. We pre-wire for what you might want in five years — not just what the spec sheet says today.
Even rooms that don’t have a TV today.
To attic, exterior, primary suite, theater. Future-anything goes through it.
Even if you don’t install speakers in the kid’s room today.
Hard-wired beats Wi-Fi for control devices, every time.
Eaves, soffits, gates, garage — plus extras for cameras you’ll add later.
Framed in during rough so they vanish into the millwork.
Climate-controlled, on its own circuit, properly ventilated. Not a closet.
Pre-wired keypads, dimmer panels, and shade motor power throughout.
Josh Micros in every room you’d want to talk to — wired, not battery.
Landscape lighting, pool/spa control, exterior speakers, outdoor TV — wired in.
The same scope. Three very different prices.
Same house. Same final smart-home spec. The only variable: when Alamo gets the call.
The earliest call is usually the cheapest call. We’ve never had a builder regret bringing us in too early — only too late.
A complete ecosystem, specified room by room.
Touchscreen, Micro, Nano, the handheld Edge remote, the Core and One processors, and the app — every Josh surface speaks the same language. We spec the right mix for each room on the plans, so the bid sheet is complete before ground breaks.
Best-in-class partners across every layer of the home.
Let’s start at the blueprint.
The earliest call is the easiest call. Bring us a floor plan — even hand-drawn — and we’ll walk you through what to wire for, what to budget, and how the build comes together.
