The cheapest time to fix lighting is on paper.
The cheapest time to fix your lighting is before the drywall goes up.

During planning we model foot candle output against your actual room layouts. Ceiling heights, finishes, where the furniture lands, how the room gets used after dark. It becomes a set of drawings the electrician builds from.

After drywall, the same correction means cutting, patching, texture, paint, and pulling new wire through a finished wall. Same end result, several times the cost, and a much longer face on everyone involved.

Nobody regrets planning it early.

Placement is not design
Most people who say “lighting design” actually mean lighting placement.
Standing in a framed house with your builder, deciding where the foyer chandelier goes and picking exterior coach lights off a page, is placement. It is how homes have been built for decades, and for most projects it gets the job done.
Engineered lighting design is a different thing entirely. Before construction starts, we model exact foot candle levels, dimming profiles and target light levels room by room. That model becomes an actual construction document with fixture schedules, load schedules and control plans.
Having enough light is not the same as having the right light in the right place.

Why does a low voltage company handle lighting design?
It is a fair question, and we get it often.
Lighting used to be simple. An incandescent bulb, a dimmer, and behavior you could predict. Then LEDs arrived and brought flicker, bad dimming, mismatched color temperatures and control problems that traditional construction teams were never trained to solve. Homeowners were left with lighting they did not like and nobody to call.
Somewhere in there, lighting stopped being a fixture and became a technology product. We have spent years on smart controls and low voltage systems, so owning the full lighting design, engineering and control process was a natural step rather than a stretch. Our team carries certification through the American Lighting Association.
The full write up is here:

Modern LED lighting is a technology product, not just a fixture. That's why engineered lighting design is essential.

Most lighting problems in a custom home aren't lighting problems. They're handoff problems.
The designer specs the plan. Someone else supplies the fixtures. The electrician wires it. An integrator programs the controls. Everyone does their part well — and the gaps between them become change orders, missed dimming curves, and a keypad in the wrong place.
We built Current Home Technologies to close those gaps.
We hold electrical licensing and our founder is a Master Electrician, so our lighting designs are drawn with a real understanding of circuits, loads, and how the home actually gets wired. To be clear, we're not bidding your electrical scope — we're making it easier to bid. Our documents give your electrician a fixture schedule, a load schedule, and a control schedule to build from instead of assumptions.
We're a low-voltage integration company, so the control system is engineered from the first meeting rather than bolted on at the end. We're manufacturer-authorized to sell, install, and service intelligent lighting systems.
Then we stay. When something needs adjusting in year three, you call the firm that designed it.
One accountable partner, from schematic design through the life of the home.
