AK1 Posted December 15, 2017 Share Posted December 15, 2017 I read the quote, once you have seen enough of these you get a "flavor" of the design approach adopted by the author. While it is a plausible quote, other approaches from a reputable dealer will be equally valid and could easily be cheaper due to different design. I would encourage you to get another quotation or two and perhaps, most importantly, find a dealer who is "compatible" with your needs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Note that despite my answer to the other fellow (which was triggered by the wild speculation in some of his comparisons) I do see any number of things in the quote that are so-so at best. I'd have to agree with AK1 that it's got a distinct 'flavour' - one often seen with AVU group companies (not all of them, you know who you are ). You will be able to find better for less I expect. The quote is very .... conforming? It follows all the steps in what C4 tends to recommend - blindly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AK1 Posted December 15, 2017 Share Posted December 15, 2017 Exactly - to be direct this project can in all likelihood be done better for less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't read the quote, and I don't know the integrator, but based on comments in this thread including this one above - the quote smells like a new dealer to Control4. I would encourage competitive quotes, though it may be apples to potatoes. Ask for references and then call them. See prior work. Ask about post-install service. It's an ongoing relationship.

My feeling is that the quote lacks in truly understanding my needs and wishes. Not sure the dealer is giving me the correct advise or plan. I will endeavour to get more quotes!
