Bringing this analogy to home technology systems, a detailed design, created by a separate technology consultant who is able to clearly define the functionality and aesthetics of all of low voltage systems, complemented by skilled and efficient installation contractors is the best, most reliable method for the client to get exactly what they want. When Axiom Design was founded in 1992, it was with the goal of creating a better way to communicate the needs of a client to the architecture and construction teams.
