Architect & contractor coordination pack · Updated 16 August 2026

Home Automation
Pre-Wiring Checklist.

A printable coordination worksheet for Jaipur architects, interior designers, MEP teams, electrical contractors and automation integrators—before drawings freeze, conduits disappear or ceilings close.

Ask for a drawing review

Planning aid, not an electrical design certificate. Final cable sizing, protection, earthing, routing, life-safety interfaces and equipment selection must be approved by the responsible project professionals and applicable authorities. Manufacturer instructions take precedence.

The rule: decide outcomes, interfaces and responsibility before products. “Bedside all-off”, “arrival scene”, “gate-to-door video”, “internet-down operation” and “movie mode” become coordinated requirements only when they appear in drawings, schedules, interface matrices and test records.

Project record

Issue this sheet with a drawing revision.

Complete these fields before circulating the checklist. Use one status vocabulary throughout the project: required, not required, pending or approved.

Project / client Site / locality Architect / interior designer Electrical / MEP consultant Automation integrator Project stage Drawing number Revision / issue date Prepared by Reviewed / approved by

Entries stay in this page only long enough to print or save the sheet. This form does not submit project data.

Room and zone point schedule

Use drawing references, not informal room names alone. Add rows for every repeated bedroom, toilet, façade zone and external building. Write N/R where a discipline has confirmed that an interface is not required.

Room / drawing ref.	Loads	Keypads / sensors	HVAC / shading	Power / network / bus	Security / AV	Termination, fallback & status
Entrance / foyer	Foyer and exterior groups	Entry keypad, door contact	—	Lock/intercom supply and data	Door station, lock, camera	Rack/DB refs; manual key; pending
Living room	Ambient, task and feature groups	Entry/scene keypad, occupancy	AC interface, curtains	Bus, data, TV and control power	Display, audio, camera if approved	Panel/rack refs; manual lighting
Dining	Table, cove and feature lighting	Scene keypad, occupancy	AC zone, curtains if any	Bus/data provisions	Audio zone	Panel ref; dining/cleaning scenes
Family lounge	Lighting and fan groups	Scene keypad	AC and shading	TV/data and bus	Display, audio, gaming	Rack ref; manual source recovery
Bedroom (repeat)	Lighting, fan, bedside loads	Entry/bedside keypads, occupancy	AC, curtains/blinds	Bus, data and charging	TV/audio if required	All-off excludes essentials
Study / home office	Task and general lighting	Keypad, occupancy	AC zone, blinds	Two data outlets, AP review	VC display/audio if required	Network/rack ref; work mode
Kitchen	Task, counter and general lighting	Manual control, leak input	Exhaust interface if approved	Appliance circuits and data needs	Leak/gas detection by specialist	Safety devices remain independent
Bathroom (repeat)	Mirror, general and exhaust	Approved wet-area sensing	Exhaust run-on	Suitable power and controls	Emergency pull if specified	Manual override; equipment rating
Utility / staff room	Lighting and selected equipment	Simple local controls	Ventilation if applicable	Power/data as scheduled	Access policy if required	Restricted scenes; labelled fallback
Stairs / corridor	General and low-level lighting	Presence zones, two-way logic	—	Bus and emergency separation	Camera only where approved	Night path; manual override
Balcony / terrace	Exterior lights and selected loads	Weather-suitable controls/sensors	Awning/shading if specified	Outdoor power, data and conduit	Perimeter sensor/camera	Drainage, enclosure and isolation
Parking / driveway	Lighting, pumps if applicable	Presence/daylight inputs	—	Outdoor routes and backup	CCTV, intercom, access	DB/rack refs; safe manual control
Plant / MEP room	Approved controllable plant only	Status/fault inputs	Manufacturer interfaces	Panel, gateway and network	Restricted access	MEP approval; local plant controls
Roof	Lighting and approved equipment	Environmental inputs if required	—	Heat/rain-rated routes and boxes	CCTV or antenna provisions	Isolation, drainage and service access
Gatehouse / main gate	Gate/guard lighting	Guard button, access inputs	—	Power, data, spare conduit, backup	Gate motor, safety, CCTV, intercom	Manual release; egress; approved

Home theatre and distributed AV

Freeze screen size, viewing distance, speaker layout and seating before ceiling work. Coordinate acoustic treatment, HVAC noise and light control with the interior and MEP teams. Use the specified speaker cable and conduit routes; keep service loops at both ends. Provide projector/display power plus data/HDMI pathway with accessible replacement routes. Ventilate the AV rack and calculate power/UPS requirements from the final equipment schedule. Test one-button movie mode, source switching, volume limits and manual recovery.

Planning a dedicated room? Use the screen-size and viewing-angle calculator, then see home theatre installation in Jaipur.

Drawing and schedule register

Assign an owner, revision and approval status to each deliverable. A checkbox without a matching drawing or schedule is not coordination.

Deliverable	Owner	Drawing / revision	Status / date
Reflected ceiling plan: luminaires, sensors, speakers, APs and cameras
Lighting control plan, load schedule and keypad schedule
ICT/ELV layout, containment plan and riser diagram
Automation panel SLD and panel GA
Network rack elevation, patching and PoE schedule
System interface and responsibility matrix
Scene / cause-and-effect matrix and fallback behaviour
Equipment, cable and termination schedule
Approved as-built issue and O&M index

Construction stage gates

Design approval: written scope, drawings, schedules, interfaces, exclusions and commercial assumptions aligned. Mock-up approval: one representative room/keypad/lighting load tested before repetitive installation. First-fix inspection: routes, boxes, panel/rack spaces, labels, separation and spare conduits checked before closure. Concealment record: dated photos linked to drawing/room references and stored with the project record. Cable tests: applicable continuity, insulation, polarity, earthing and data-link results recorded by the responsible trade. Second-fix inspection: terminations, device ratings, labels, ventilation and service access checked before energisation. Integrated testing: scenes, schedules, HVAC/AV/security interfaces, internet loss, power loss and manual fallback witnessed. Close-out: snags signed off, final backups taken, user training complete and handover documents accepted.
