I am building a timber frame home and very interested in a home automation system,audio ,tv ,broadband & lighting,home cinema.Unfortunatly my technical knowledge is non existent> I have got two quotes and they are charging in the region of 11-14k and this is without the amplifer/computer ect.Is this a fair price?Would I be better buying the materials in the UK and getting the electrician to put it in,he has to do this for the companies anyway.Help needed.I have read all the threads and allthough very informative I am still ignorant.
