What drives the price

Four factors.

Two are in your hands (size, level), two in ours (technology, schedule). In the quote we clearly separate what belongs to each.

M²

Size of the property

A 60 m² apartment vs a 400 m² villa — the same package costs differently because of the number of zones, sensors and actuators. Roughly linear with m², but not strictly.

N

Level of automation

Lighting + climate (basic) → +25% for audio + security (comfort) → +30% for outdoor integrations (premium).

T

Technology chosen

Wired KNX: higher initial investment, 20+ years of reliability. Wireless retrofit: 30-40% lower cost, but technical limitations.

Compare KNX vs wireless →
S

Construction stage

Wired from the start (open finishes): 15-20% less than wiring later. Retrofit on finished walls: wireless only, variable cost.

Apartment vs Villa

Apartments are bought as a package.
Villas are composed as a project.

01

Apartment

€2,500 – €7,500. Predefined package (Standard/Premium/Business). 1-3 bedrooms, 50-150 m². Commissioning 3-5 days. Wired in new apartments, wireless in lived-in ones.

Transparency

What is included, what is not.

No footnote asterisks. Everything you see in the quote is everything you will pay.

Included in the package

  • ✓ Complete technical design (drawings, schematics, BoM)

    You receive the layout drawings, the KNX electrical schematics and the full equipment list (BoM) — you know exactly what gets installed and where, before the first hole is drilled.

  • ✓ All equipment and consumables

    Actuators, sensors, keypads, bus cable, back boxes — everything is in the quote, with brands and quantities. No “small items” invoiced separately at the end.

  • ✓ Installation and cabling labour

    Pulling the bus cable, fitting the equipment in the board and the switches on the walls — fully included, not charged by the hour as you go.

  • ✓ ETS commissioning and scene programming

    Professional configuration of the system in ETS (the official KNX software) and programming of your scenes — Wake up, Away, Movie — together with you, in the house.

  • ✓ User training (1-2h)

    At handover we show you everything: the app, the keypads, the scenes, what to do if you want a change. You leave knowing how to use your home, not just how to admire it.

  • ✓ Documentation and ETS export

    The final schematic and the ETS project stay with you. Any authorised KNX integrator can take over the system at any time — you are not tied to us.

  • ✓ 10+ year hardware warranty

    KNX equipment has industrial life cycles — the manufacturers’ warranty covers 10+ years, and the standard has existed since 1990 and is backwards compatible.

  • ✓ 1 business day support SLA

    Any issue you report gets a reply within one business day — from the team in Constanța, not from a call centre.

NOT included (transparency)

  • ✗ Mandatory cloud subscriptions — the system is local

    KNX lives in your home, on the wired bus. You pay no monthly subscription to switch on your own lights, and the system works without internet.

  • ✗ Hidden re-cabling costs

    The cabling is sized correctly from the start, with spare capacity for extensions. You do not discover two years later that a wall has to be opened for one more circuit.

  • ✗ Vendor lock-in — KNX is a standard, anyone can take it over

    KNX is an open standard (ISO/IEC 14543-3) with 500+ manufacturers. The configuration belongs to you — if we disappeared tomorrow, your system keeps working and can be taken over.

  • ✗ Surprise invoices — fixed price in the contract

    What you sign is what you pay. Changes of scope are discussed and approved beforehand; they do not appear out of nowhere on the final invoice.

  • ✗ Finishing works (painting, plasterboard)

    After cabling, restoring the finishes (filler, paint, plasterboard) stays with your finishing team — we hand over clean, photo-documented routes.

  • ✗ Decorative wall switches above the KNX standard

    Premium keypads and frames (glass, metal, designer ranges) are chosen and paid for separately — you choose the aesthetics, we guarantee the function.

  • ✗ Wi-Fi networks / data cabling (separate service)

    The data network is a separate project — if you want it from us too, we have a dedicated professional UniFi networking and Wi-Fi service.

  • ✗ Work on non-smart parts

    The conventional electrical installation, plumbing or the HVAC itself are not included here — automating them is. For complete electrical installations we have a separate service.

Frequently asked questions

What we get asked most often.

Why €2,500 minimum?+
Below €2,500, a smart home is a set of Wi-Fi gadgets that do not understand each other. With €2,500 you get a wired KNX foundation, an iOS/Android app and professional commissioning with the schematics handed over. It is the threshold from which the system is extensible — you add zones three years later without redoing anything.
Can I start with a basic package and extend later?+
Yes, the foundation from Smart Standard (€2,500) includes a pre-pulled KNX bus cable and a pre-equipped distribution board. Adding thermostats, touch panels, multi-room audio or advanced security needs no wall chasing — only ETS configuration and new hardware connected to the existing bus.
Do the prices include VAT?+
The indicative prices are without VAT (the standard 19% VAT in Romania). In the personalised quote you receive the final price with and without VAT, plus the payment stages (usually 50% deposit, 40% during the works, 10% at commissioning).
What is not in the package?+
Civil finishing works (painting, plasterboard), decorative wall switches above the included KNX standard (Gewiss/Schneider are standard, BTicino Living Now or premium finishes are extra), and the home Wi-Fi network (UTP cable and access points are extra).
How do I estimate the price for my project?+
In three steps: (1) a 15-minute phone call to calibrate requirements — free; (2) an on-site visit of 1-2 hours — free in Constanța, charged elsewhere on the coast; (3) a detailed quote in 24-48h, with equipment, labour and schedule. The price in the quote becomes the fixed price at contract signing.
