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.

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.
