Show Notes

We're joined by Stephen Nevison from award-winning integrator, Intuitive Homes, and Jon Schaffer of Lighthouse to take a look at the sometimes thorny subject of design and documentation. How daunting is the design and documentation process for a fully integrated home? What should you include and how does it affect costing, delivering and successfully maintaining a project following an installation? Thanks to our supporters DbM, AWE Europe, Sony and Ring. We support Together For Cinema. The Integrated Home is a Wildwood production.

Tackling Mental Ill Health

Home integration can be an incredibly rewarding industry but also a pretty stressful one. Many integrators work on their own or in small businesses where it’s difficult to find a work-life balance, especially with work on-site often demanding long hours away from home and meeting high client expectations. Uncertainties arising from the pandemic have made things worse. At least half a million more people in the UK may experience mental ill health as a result of COVID-19, says a forecast from The Centre for Mental Health, and that’s likely to rise even higher after the second lockdown. Meanwhile, another survey found that 73% of all building and construction workers feel that their employers did not understand or recognise the early signs of poor mental health, or offer any support. So, what can be done to manage our health and well-being for the better? The Integrated Home Podcast is supported by Ring X Line, Distributed by Meridian, AWE Europe and Sony. We are a Wildwood production and we support Together for Cinema. ...

All About Audio

We turn the spotlight on all things audio with the help of Pip Evans, the main man at London-based NV Integration and Barry Sheldrick, Sales Director at Meridian Audio. What are customers looking for when they listen to music in the home? Is it all about convenience or is quality making a comeback? What role does content have to play in the discussion? And, how can we persuade customers about the benefits of great sound in a media room and home cinema set up? We also look at two demo options for installation businesses without their own dedicated showroom space. Can a showroom collaboration with an interior designer work for your business? And, what are brands doing to support installers in selling their services? Make sure you also listen out for a second chance to enter our competition to win a Sony Home Cinema Projector, retailing at £5,000 from podcast supporter, AWE. This episode is brought to you from the home of hi-res audio, the Meridian Reference Theatre at the company's HQ near Cambridge.
