Consulting
EDG's extensive expertise in
custom home theaters and
media room designs can be tapped for a wide range of projects on an as needed basis for other contractors. We are fully equipped to produce detailed engineering drawings for residential
home automation systems, boardroom entertainment and automation systems, and every facet of high-end audio/visual systems that we consult on. Areas of expertise include:
home theater consulting, multi-room audio/video, lighting control system design, home automation systems, and advanced control systems.
Here's a real-life example of how our consulting services recently helped a client properly plan technology systems for a new, yet-to-be-built home:
A man planning a 13,000 square foot home in the New Jersey countryside for his family saw the benefits of an EDG installed custom home theater, lighting control system, and integrated Creston control panel during a party at a neighbor’s house. The gentleman got EDG's contact information, and contacted us about installing a home movie theater in the great room of his new home, a dedicated, high-performance theater for watching football, as well as a high quality, distributed whole house audio and video system.
The gentleman toured EDG's 20,000 square foot headquarters, including our engineering and programming departments, conference room, demonstration theater, and the production and rack-building area where we pre-build and test systems before they’re installed. After touring our facility, he became a client, and honored EDG with a contract to work with his architect and the builder affiliate on the desired technology systems. The project ended up running 2-1/2 years at a cost of over $400,000.
EDG’s challenge was to integrate the desired systems without compromising the home's design, where every window was positioned to view a specific part of the property. We generated AutoCAD plans which were incorporated into the architect's advanced 3-D computer rendering programs to give the family a 360-degree, photorealistic view of their home as it was being designed.
The end result was a lower-level, dedicated theater, designed by the architect and outfitted by EDG, featuring an eight-seat tiered theater, plus a four-seat bar, 117-inch screen and a Runco DLP home theater projector, plus an integrated entertainment system and home automation controls.

The project earned EDG a gold "Best Integrated Home" technical design award at the Custom Electronics Design & Installation Association's Electronic Lifestyles Awards, and more important, a valued client whose family loves their new custom home theater, whole house audio and video system, and home automation controls.
