01 — About Baulogic

About us

The future of housing is connected. Our mission is to make it simple.

02 — Who is Baulogic

Who is Baulogic

Baulogic is a UK-based home automation company built KNX, the international open standard for connected buildings. We work with property developers, self-builders, and electricians on residential and commercial projects across the UK and EMEA. Our platform makes it effortless to create homes that are intelligent, sustainable and beautifully simple to live in - without the cost and complexity of traditional home automation.

03 — Founders

Built for developers by developers

Baulogic was founded in 2008 by Neil Robinson and Stephen Chard. Both came from senior careers in UK property development and estate management, where they had specified, commissioned, and lived with connected home technology at every price point.

What they saw repeatedly was the same set of problems. Systems that cost more than they should. Installations that overran. Apps that stopped working a year after handover. Manufacturers who locked homeowners into a single integrator and then raised their prices. None of it matched the standards expected of a premium new home.

So they built Baulogic to do it properly. A connected home system designed around the realities of property development, installable by any qualified electrician, built on an open international standard, and engineered to last the lifetime of the building.

04 — Our mission

To make home automation the standard for premium residential developments across the UK and EMEA.

We aim to do this by removing the cost, complexity, and unreliability that have historically kept connected homes out of reach, so that every premium home is intelligent, durable, and built to add value from day one.

05 — The standard

Why Baulogic is built on KNX

Every connected home we build runs on KNX, the open international standard for building automation used in over 90 countries. We chose KNX because a home worth automating is a home worth doing properly.

Wireless systems and app-led ecosystems suit flats and retrofits, where they were designed to live. They struggle at the scale, longevity, and complexity of a premium new build. They depend on Wi-Fi networks that change. They rely on cloud platforms that go offline. They tie homeowners to a single manufacturer who can end support, raise prices, or disappear entirely.

KNX works differently. It is hardwired into the fabric of the building, alongside the electrics and the plumbing. It runs without an internet connection. It is supported by hundreds of manufacturers worldwide, which means the system can be serviced and upgraded by any KNX-certified integrator long after we deliver it. And because we hand over the programming files at completion, the homeowner is never locked into us, or to anyone.

06 — The difference

What makes Baulogic different

01

Off-site pre-configuration

Every Baulogic system is configured and tested before it reaches site. The hardware arrives at first fix already programmed for the property, which removes the long, expensive, on-site commissioning phase that traditional integrators rely on.

02

No Wi-Fi dependency

The core system runs entirely over a hardwired KNX bus. Lighting, climate, shading, and security do not depend on a router, a cloud platform, or an internet connection. The house works whether the broadband does or not.

03

No specialist required

Because the system is pre-configured off-site and installed against standard electrical drawings, any qualified electrician can carry out the first and second fix. There is no proprietary trade lock-in, no certification gate, and no waiting on a specialist integrator's diary.

04

A mortgageable asset

KNX is hardwired into the fabric of the building, so it forms part of the property itself rather than removable consumer technology. That means it can be valued, financed, and treated as part of the long-term asset, in the same way as the wiring or the heating system.

07 — Reach

Where you'll find our work

Baulogic is headquartered in the UK and delivers connected home projects across the UK and EMEA. We have completed installations in various countries, including France, Ireland and Spain.

KNX is an international open standard, which means a Baulogic-specified home in Paris or Munich is built to the exact same protocol as one in London. The system, the documentation, and the aftercare are consistent wherever the building stands.

09 — Commitments

What to expect when you work with Baulogic

Every Baulogic project is delivered against the same set of commitments, whether it is a single self-build or a multi-unit development.

Specification driven by the project, not the brand

Because KNX is an open standard, we can specify components from hundreds of certified manufacturers based on what each home actually needs. We are not tied to any single supplier, and we have no commercial reason to push a brand that does not fit.

Full handover of programming files

At completion, the homeowner or developer receives the complete KNX programming files. The system is owned outright. Any KNX-certified integrator in the world can service or extend it.

Documentation as standard

As-built drawings, device schedules, and configuration files are delivered as part of the handover pack. The system is intelligible to the next electrician, the next owner, and the next decade.

Aftercare built for the long term

KNX systems are designed to outlast the consumer technology around them, and our support reflects that. We remain available for upgrades, modifications, and ongoing maintenance long after the project closes.

10 — Questions

Frequently asked questions about Baulogic

01 Who founded Baulogic and when?

Baulogic was founded in 2008 by Neil Robinson and Stephen Chard, both of whom came from senior backgrounds in UK property development and estate management. They started the company after seeing first-hand how cost, complexity, and reliability issues were keeping connected home technology out of new developments at scale.

02 Where is Baulogic based, and where do you deliver projects?

Baulogic is headquartered in the UK and delivers projects across the UK and EMEA. Completed installations include homes in France, Ireland and Spain.

03 Is Baulogic a manufacturer or an installer?

Neither, exactly. We do not manufacture KNX components; those come from established European manufacturers including Gira, Jung, Basalte, Ekinex, and MDT. We design, specify, configure, and commission the system that ties them together, and we work alongside qualified electricians who carry out the physical installation.

04 What is KNX, and why does Baulogic use it?

KNX is the international open standard for home and building automation, supported by hundreds of manufacturers across more than 90 countries. We use KNX because it is hardwired, runs without internet, is not tied to any single manufacturer, and is built to last for the lifetime of the building. Wireless and app-led systems do not meet those criteria.

05 How is Baulogic different from Crestron, Control4, Lutron, or Loxone?

Crestron and Control4 are proprietary ecosystems, which means the homeowner is tied to a single manufacturer and a specific approved installer network. Lutron is excellent for lighting and shading but narrower in scope. Loxone is a closed system that requires Loxone-trained installers. Baulogic is built on KNX, an open standard that any KNX-certified integrator in the world can service. We hand over the programming files at completion, so the homeowner is never locked in.

06 What size of project does Baulogic work on?

Our typical project is a residential property valued at £700,000 and above. This includes single self-builds, ultra-prime private homes, and multi-unit developments. We work on new builds, deep renovations, and developer schemes.

07 Do you work directly with homeowners, or only through developers and electricians?

All three. Property developers and electricians are our primary commercial audiences, and we also work directly with self-builders and private homeowners commissioning new homes or major renovations.

08 What happens if Baulogic stops trading?

Because every Baulogic system is built on KNX, any KNX-certified integrator in the world can take it over. At handover, we provide the full KNX programming files, as-built drawings, and device schedules, so the system can be maintained or extended without us.

09 Does Baulogic sell hardware or specify it?

We specify hardware on a project-by-project basis from a curated set of KNX-certified manufacturers. We are not tied to any single brand, and our specification is driven by what each project needs rather than by what we stock.
