the Ultimate Guide
to Home Technology

Building a new home? This guide is for you.

If you're planning a self-build in the UK, you've probably got a hundred decisions competing for your attention. Home technology is one of the easiest to put off, and one of the most expensive to get wrong.

This guide covers everything you need to know before the walls go up. Power planning, structured cabling, lighting design, heating and ventilation, security, energy systems, home automation, and the build timeline that ties it all together. It includes ballpark UK costs, current building regulations, and the kind of practical advice that normally only comes from someone who's been through it.

It's written for self-builders who aren't technology specialists. You don't need to know what Cat6 cable is or how a consumer unit works. You just need to be building a home and want to get the technology right first time.

What you'll take away:

• A clear understanding of what needs to happen at each stage of your build
• Realistic 2025/2026 costs so you can budget properly
• Ready-to-use templates: a cabling schedule, technology brief, budget planner, and questions to ask every provider
• The confidence to brief your electrician, architect, and build team without second-guessing yourself

Written by Stephen Chard, founder of Baulogic, drawing on 25 years of living with home technology and building connected homes across the UK.
