For home builders & developers

Every new home delivered secure, connected and ready on move-in day.

Media144 prewires security, cameras and smart-home devices during construction, works around your schedule, and hands each buyer a working system at closing — one local partner for the whole development.

New homes under construction in a suburban development
Why builders work with us

A feature buyers ask for, without another headache for your superintendent.

On your schedule

We prewire at rough-in and trim out after drywall and paint, coordinated with your other trades.

Standard plus upgrades

Build a base package into every home and let buyers upgrade at your design center.

Model home showcase

A live system in your model so buyers can try the app, doorbell and smart locks for themselves.

No landline needed

Monitoring runs over cellular, so systems work the day the buyer gets the keys — no waiting on internet hookup.

We handle the homeowner

Activation, app setup and walkthrough at closing, plus service calls after — not your warranty team.

Community-wide security

Entrance cameras, gate access and clubhouse or amenity access control for the development itself.

How it works

From floor plan to closing.

01

Plan review

We mark up each floor plan with device locations and set a standard package for the community.

02

Rough-in prewire

Cable to doors, windows, cameras and the panel location before insulation and drywall.

03

Trim-out

Devices installed and tested after paint, with any buyer upgrades added in.

04

Closing handoff

We activate the system, set up the buyer's app and show them how it all works.

Builder questions

Builder FAQ

Do you work with small builders or only large developments?

We work with builders and contractors of every size — from a single custom home to multi-phase communities.

When do you need to be on site?

Twice per home: once at rough-in, before insulation, and once at trim-out after paint. We schedule around your other trades.

Who pays for monitoring?

It depends on your contract. Some builders include monitoring for a set period; others have the homeowner sign up at closing. We'll set up whichever arrangement fits your development.

Can you secure the community itself?

Yes. We install entrance and amenity cameras, gate access, and access control for clubhouses, pools and fitness rooms.

What happens if a homeowner has a problem?

They call us directly at (330) 961-1440. Our local team handles service, so it never lands on your warranty list.

Planning a new development?

Send us your floor plans and we'll put together a per-home package proposal.
