Do you install equipment I already bought?

The short answer. Yes, for a lot of it. IntegrateIT, in Overland Park, installs equipment owners have already bought across Kansas City, Missouri and the Johnson County suburbs: golf launch monitors, simulator enclosure kits, Sonos players, and systems that came with the house. We check it against the room and the rest of the system before anything is mounted. What you bought keeps its own manufacturer warranty; our five-year workmanship warranty covers our work. And if something you bought will not work in your room or with your system, we tell you that first, in plain language.

The question usually comes with an apology attached, as if buying the equipment first were a mistake. It usually is not. Plenty of our projects start with equipment somebody already owns, or a line an architect has already specified. The useful thing is to tell us early, so the room, the power and the network are designed around what you have rather than discovered around it.

What we install that you bought

• Golf launch monitors. A Trackman, a Uneekor or a Foresight Sports unit you already own is a common way a simulator job starts. We mount it to the maker’s published installation spec for your model and build the bay around it. (Installing a launch monitor you already own.)
• Simulator enclosure kits. A kit in the garage is normal work, not a special request, and so is a kit somebody started and stopped halfway. (What a kit assumes about the room.)
• Sonos players. Working players stay. They become part of the system, with the network underneath them fixed and, where the house needs more, amplification and in-ceiling speakers added around them. (Sonos in a whole-home system.)
• Systems that came with the house. Control4, Crestron and Lutron systems installed by another company, cameras that are still on the maker’s supported list, and the wire in the walls, which almost always stays. (Taking over a system someone else installed.)

Something else on your list? Send it to us with a description of the room. We will tell you what works together, what we would swap and why, and what we can look after ourselves five years from now. That conversation costs nothing.

What we check first

Owner-supplied equipment gets the same checks as equipment we specify, just earlier, because it is already chosen.

1. The room against the equipment. For a simulator, the ceiling under the lowest obstruction in the swing, the width, the depth and the clearance behind the screen, measured against the kit before anything is unboxed.
2. The maker’s own installation spec. Mount positions, heights and offsets are the maker’s to publish, they differ by model and they get revised. We install to the current spec for your unit, not to a number from memory.
3. Whether it is still supported. Makers publish supported-product and discontinued-product lists. A device that is past support, or has no maintained driver for the control system, is a decision to make before it is installed, not after.
4. What it quietly assumes. Most equipment assumes structure to mount into, power where it needs it, a wired network path and control over the light. A launch monitor arrives in a carton; the room it needs does not.
5. How it fits the rest of the house. Whether it can join the lighting, the audio and the one-button control, or will live on its own app.

Where owner-bought equipment causes trouble

Three places, and none of them is the equipment being bad.

Warranty. Equipment you supply keeps its manufacturer warranty, and a claim on it runs between you and the maker. Our warranty covers our work: the mounting, the wiring, the build and the programming. Check where you are buying, too. Some makers limit which sellers may sell their products online. JBL, for one, publishes that its dealers may not sell its Harman Luxury Audio products online and that a unit bought online does not carry a valid warranty. (JBL Synthesis in Kansas City.)

Compatibility. A piece that works perfectly on its own can still sit outside the system: no driver for the control platform, a version the rest of the house does not support, or a size the room cannot take. That is why we would rather see the list before it is bought. When it is already bought, we say what it will and will not do in your house before we mount it.

Who installs it. Some products are installed by the maker’s own team. SimBooth’s team installs the SimBooth 3 and SimBooth 4 booths, for example; there, our part is the room, the power and the technology around the booth.

When the answer is no, or not yet

Sometimes the honest answer is that what you bought will not work where you meant it to go. A ceiling that cannot take an overhead launch monitor at the maker’s mount position, a kit wider than the room, a device the control system cannot talk to. When the survey finds that, we tell you first, in plain language, before anything is mounted or quoted, and we help you work out whether a different room in the house is the answer.

Just as often the equipment is fine and something around it is not. A player that drops out, or a camera that keeps going offline, is usually being asked to work on a network that cannot carry it. Equipment at the genuine end of its life and equipment on a bad network are different conversations, and they cost very different amounts, so we say which one you are having.

What it does to the price

A build where you have already supplied the enclosure and the launch monitor is priced below an equivalent complete build. The rest of the number is set by the room: how much preparation it needs, and how much electrical and network work it takes. We give a fixed price after a no-cost site walk, not a range by email. (What drives the cost of a golf simulator.)

How to start

Send us the list of what you have and a photo of the room. For a simulator, add the ceiling height. We will tell you on the first call whether it is work we can do well, then measure it on a no-cost site walk. How a full simulator build runs, with or without your own equipment, is on our golf simulator installation page.
