PDL Electric Home Design Service

PDL developed the concept of Electric Home Design to help homeowners create spaces tailored to how they want to live and to unlock the potential of their home.  

Our PDL Electric Home Design Service provides your clients with a professional consultation to explore and choose the PDL electrical and smart home solutions that can bring their home to life now and in years to come 

We offer the flexibility of a virtual or in-person appointment, where one of our consultants will use our advanced Electric Home Design software to walk your client through a tailored electrical plan, step by step. At the end of the consultation you and your client will be provided with an itemised electrical plan 

This considered planning at the beginning of a project means you and your client can be confident that the build and electrical plans will work together to create the vision for their home. Alternatively, we offer a subscription and training so you can incorporate our PDL Electric Home Design Service into your own business.
