Working With Hip

Whether you are undertaking new build or renovation projects. Whether you are looking for a whole house integrated system or simply want a discreet plasma installation for your client, we have a proven track record of working with architects, interior designers and specifiers throughout the North West delivering tightly integrated and elegant solutions.

Keep up to date with your clients requirements
Home technology is becoming an increasingly important part of the specification of quality homes and we can advise on the technology and trends in this sector so that your clients don't get left behind.

Budgeting Service

What will it cost?
We offer an obligation free budgeting service available to anyone considering investing in home technology.

Either have your client call us and we can run through the options over the phone and in most instances give them an indication cost within 24 hours, or we can send you a questionnaire for you to go through with your client. Send back the questionnaire and we'll give you an indicative cost with 24 hours.

Want a standard solution?
Standard technology packages designed specifically to enhance the offering of home builders/developers. See our Home Builders and Developers section for more information.

Specification Service

Meeting desires with Solutions
After our initial budget we can meet you and your client to discuss the options in more detail. We'll take you through the possibilities and discuss how best to integrate the equipment into their home, taking consideration of aesthetics, acoustics and function. Most importantly we'll listen. Each client will want very different things from a system and we can advise on the best route to keeping everyone happy and entertained.

We'll follow up with a detailed proposal, specifying what will be installed where and what functionality will be available from the system. A detailed breakdown of costing will be submitted allowing you to make informed choices on what to include in the specification now and what you may want to leave, or add on in the future.

Design & installation

Design
Communication is key at this stage and to ensure we communicate precisely with all parties on the project we add our design to the project CAD drawings and make early contact with those parties to ensure everyone understands our scope. This allows us to identify early on in the project the requirements our installation may place on other trades and vice versa.

Install
The cable installation can be carried out by our own team or drawings and supervision given to site electricians. Our engineers perform the second fix installation of the equipment and then test and commission the system.

Customer Handover

System Training

 A client handover is performed along with operating manuals and full training to ensure your client gets the most from their investment. We design our systems to be simple to operate but are always available to answer any questions they may have.

Support
Our work is guaranteed for two years and the equipment we supply for 1 to 10 years depending on manufacturers. We provide prompt backup should you have any problems and believe only by providing outstanding service will we grow our business. Most of our work comes through recommendation, a trend we wish to continue.
