BUDGET & PROJECT SCOPE
The useful starting point is a defined scope: which rooms, devices and routines should change, and what infrastructure already exists. Zeta Nest prepares the assessment around those decisions so a quote can explain what you are paying for.
OPTIONS & SCOPE
Ask for quantities and exact models for controls, actuators, motors, sensors, hubs and any network equipment. Include gateways, software or driver licences needed to connect them. Room count alone is a poor comparison: two similarly sized homes can have different lighting circuits, curtain arrangements, HVAC interfaces and entertainment requirements.
Separate equipment supply from fitting, electrical connections, cabling, cabinet work, access equipment and making good. An occupied property may require a different installation approach from a new build. Agree who handles building permissions, coordination with other trades and any excluded finishing work before comparing proposals.
A complete quote should explain the scenes, integrations, user permissions and commissioning included. Request a demonstration of agreed functions, manual controls and recovery procedures. Record whether drawings, configuration records, account handover and resident training are included, and how additional scenes or changes after acceptance will be priced.
Identify optional subscriptions, connectivity costs, battery replacement and support arrangements, including their frequency and cancellation terms. For phased work, document what the first phase includes and what infrastructure supports later additions. Ask for exclusions, quote validity, payment milestones, applicable taxes and the process for approving variations.
This guide does not publish a standard AED range. A useful price depends on verified quantities, compatibility and site conditions; the written proposal should distinguish confirmed items from allowances and options.

Compare the complete proposed installation. Cabling access, device quantities, gateways, network changes and commissioning all affect the scope. The relevant question is which approach delivers your agreed functions with acceptable disruption and ongoing support needs.
Use one room-by-room schedule of functions and ask both proposals to price it. Check exact models, quantities, labour, licences, testing, exclusions and support. A lower total may simply include fewer controls, scenes or installation responsibilities.
