For property developers, architects and other construction industry professionals, meeting this growing demand for technological sophistication is vital.
However, there are a daunting number of technological considerations when you’re trying to create the ideal living space for your clients.

We help construction professionals, architects, interior designers and property developers deliver innovative and elegant in-home technology for their clients.

OUR CLIENTS
COLLABORATING WITH HOME OWNERS AND PROFESSIONALS ACROSS THE CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRY TO DELIVER THE BEST POSSIBLE RESULTS
We have over a decade of experience consulting and advising companies, who like us, are passionate about designing and delivering wonderful living spaces. We work with home owners, Interior Designers, Architects, Property Developers and professionals across the construction industry to design and implement in-home technology that benefits our clients’ lifestyle.
Our team of specialists are your definitive source for any and all questions about in-home technology. We are an independent consultancy and do not stock specific AV products. Therefore, we can design and specify from any manufacturer based on what is best suited to your project. This bespoke service is something we greatly pride ourselves in.
We will support you and the client at every stage to ensure the design and delivery of a successful and interesting project. No matter the project size, budget or requirements our experience and passion will provide you with an unmatched ally throughout the project’s life cycle.

When you are designing a property, technology and cables can seem like an unwelcome intrusion, but not with AVINU as your partner. We will help you seamlessly integrate the infrastructure into the heart of the building so that whatever home entertainment and control systems your client wants, we can deliver with no visible wiring or cables.
Whether you want to sing along to the breakfast show in the shower, are planning a home cinema or want easy control of your heating and lighting from your smart device, we can take the stress away from technology. Our friendly and professional team will get to the core of what you want and make it happen!
The in-home technology landscape changes rapidly! But don’t worry, we’ve got you covered. Our experience is invaluable when it comes to predicting what might be needed to fit your client’s lifestyle. We collaborate with professionals in the construction industry so we can help you avoid digging into brand new walls and lifting floorboards after the job is finished.
Today’s homeowners expect WiFi everywhere, music throughout the home and entertainment systems wherever they want. We will help you put a cost-effective infrastructure in place to cater for this – when the client moves in, they can choose exactly what they want. The foundations will be in place with no fuss, no hassle.
Music, TV, cinema and home control systems can be challenging to integrate into a design space. We will work with you to blend technology into the décor with a simple touchpad to control everything. TV screens buried out of sight, ready to pop up when needed. Monitors disguised as mirrors. Speakers hidden in ceilings. Beautiful and seamless.

MEET OUR PROFESSIONALS
A PASSIONATE TEAM OF INDIVIDUALS DRIVEN BY DESIGN, LIFESTYLE
AND OUR CLIENTS' LIVING AND WORKING SPACES
AVINU was formed in 2009 by business partners Darryl Roberts and Mike Farquhar.
The mission was simple: to support clients from beginning to end with minimal disruption in order to deliver great living spaces using technology that is aligned with the way people live or work.
“Too many times we have seen other firms recommend technology that is not appropriate for the customer’s home or lifestyle; sometimes it is difficult to use or even over specified for what’s required.
We can do better than that! We will not sell technology because it is ‘the latest and greatest’; it has to fit the needs of the customer. We ensure that what we provide complements people’s lifestyle and the way they live in their home. We make audio, visual and control systems blend in and enhance living spaces.”
With our team’s support, you can understand all your options and receive a clear and cohesive strategy to ensure the technology in your property will be easy to use, robust and elegant.
