Osbee was established as an IT consulting company in 1996 by Founder and President Dave Raines — a foundation that paved the way to becoming a pioneer in the burgeoning smart home industry.
Given Dave’s early aptitude for technology and an avid interest in the arts, architecture, photography, and design, he took the company into the direction of smart home automation as control technology became more prevalent in the residential market. This passion for design and technology — and the vision to see how that technology can be used in the residential space — has led to Osbee become one of the premier smart home integration design firms in the country.
The creation of a perfect home is born of collaborators working in their chosen media: The architect creates the space. The interior designer enriches it. The builder realizes the vision.
For complete control and enjoyment, there is Osbee.
Osbee’s mission is to make all the technology, electronics, and entertainment systems in the home effortless and intuitive to control, and aesthetically pleasing through the use of innovative and thoughtful smart-home design, engineering, and installation.
Gather as much information as possible about the project, the space, and the homeowners’ needs and wants.
Explore what’s possible, how the system will be built, and provide a basis for feedback and refinement.
Refine and perfect the system design and provide an estimate of costs for approval.
Ensure everyone understands the scope and requirements of the project.
Reach a detailed working plan and prepare for work to begin.
Confirm all work against plans prior to installation of wiring, hardware, and devices.
Pull wires to the plans and rough in any enclosures, back boxes, or other hardware prior to the walls being closed.
Prepare and install trim on finished walls, and build out the equipment rack at our lab.
Complete all physical system installations, including speakers, keypads, wall switches, shades, televisions, touchscreens, movie screens, and the equipment racks.
Concurrent with steps 8 and 9, program the home system to perform as specified, perform validation testing, and make the system for use.
Ensure clients get the most enjoyment from their new systems.
For each project, Osbee follows a comprehensive step-by-step process, guided by a dedicated project manager.
Designed to simplify the complex, our process provides the flexibility required to meet the unique demands of each project, and allows for as much — or as little — involvement as the client desires.
