Smart Home Automation in Oxford

Crawford Construction designs and installs smart home automation systems across Oxford and Oxfordshire, turning your property into a connected, efficient and secure home. Because we’re a building company first, we can integrate smart technology properly at the structural stage of a renovation, new build or extension, running cabling and infrastructure into the fabric of the home rather than bolting it on afterwards.

From a single smart lighting scheme to a fully integrated whole-home system, we tailor every installation to how you actually live, and we look after it long after handover.

Smart Home Systems We Install

We work with both wireless retrofit solutions and professional wired platforms, recommending the right approach for your property and budget.

Smart Lighting & Shading

Lighting scenes, dimming, schedules and automated blinds or curtains that adjust to the time of day, controlled from your phone, a wall keypad or your voice. Energy-efficient LED control reduces running costs while transforming the feel of every room.

Heating & Climate Control

Smart thermostats, room-by-room zoning and underfloor heating control that learn your routine and cut energy waste, with remote control wherever you are.

Home Security & Surveillance

Smart locks, CCTV, video doorbells, motion sensors and alarm integration, with real-time monitoring and alerts to your phone for peace of mind at home or away.

Whole-Home Integration & Control

We bring lighting, heating, security, blinds and entertainment together under one system so everything works in harmony, controlled from a single app, keypad or tablet.

Multi-Room Audio & Home Cinema

Whole-home audio in any room and dedicated home cinema rooms with immersive surround sound, hidden speakers and one-touch control.

Networking & Structured Wiring

Reliable, whole-home Wi-Fi, hardwired data cabling and smart hubs, the backbone every dependable smart home depends on, designed in from the start during a build or renovation.

Professional Smart Home Platforms

For clients who want a robust, future-proof system rather than off-the-shelf gadgets, we install and integrate leading professional platforms including KNX, Loxone, Lutron and Control4, alongside popular voice assistants such as Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant and Apple HomeKit. We’ll advise on the best ecosystem for your needs, then design, install, program and commission it in-house, with no handoffs to subcontractors.

Features like geofencing, scheduling and custom scenes mean your home responds automatically: heating that warms the bathroom before you wake, lights that switch off when everyone leaves, and a system you can adapt as your life changes.

What is smart home automation?

Smart home automation lets you control devices like lighting, heating, security and audio remotely or automatically, through an app, keypad or voice command, and have them respond to schedules and routines on their own.

How much does smart home automation cost in Oxford?

It ranges from a few hundred pounds for a single upgrade to a larger investment for a fully integrated system. Cost depends on the number of rooms, systems automated and platform chosen. We provide a free itemised quote.

Can an existing home be upgraded with smart systems?

Yes. We use wireless and minimally invasive retrofit solutions for finished homes, and we can integrate fully wired systems during any renovation or extension work.

Which smart home systems do you install?

We install professional platforms such as KNX, Loxone, Lutron and Control4, and integrate with Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant and Apple HomeKit. We advise on the best fit for your home.

Are smart home systems secure?

Yes, when installed correctly. We configure secure networks, strong authentication and reputable hardware, and keep systems updated to protect against vulnerabilities.

Will a smart home add value to my property?

A well-integrated smart home is an attractive, modern feature for buyers and can improve energy efficiency, which adds to a property's appeal.

Do you provide ongoing support?

Yes. We offer maintenance and support after installation to keep your system running smoothly and to adapt it as your needs change.

Is it better to install during a renovation?

Usually, yes. Wiring during a build or renovation is far less disruptive and more cost-effective than retrofitting later, which is a key advantage of using a builder who also installs smart systems.
