A dedicated home theatre in The Blue Mountains: a large screen, two tower speakers and a deep white sectional

One city, two kinds of home.

In South Richvale, many original bungalows on large lots have given way to bigger custom homes, and a rebuild is the time to wire before drywall. In Bayview Hill, homes from the 1980s to the 2000s are finished and lived in, so the work is upgrading what is already there.

South Richvale: the rebuild

Pre-wire at framing with your builder, so the theatre, speakers, cameras and WiFi go in once and stay hidden.

Bayview Hill: the upgrade

Better WiFi, lighting control and cameras for a finished home, with as few openings in the walls as possible.

Trees before trenches

Richmond Hill protects trees over 15 cm across, so every cable route outside is planned around the root zones first.

Source: the City of Richmond Hill tree preservation by-law.

Theatre first, then the whole house.

One Control4 system runs the theatre, the music, the lights and the cameras, from one app. Whether we pre-wire a rebuild with your builder or upgrade a finished home, we work alongside your electrician and every other trade.

Tree rules and moraine rules.

Richmond Hill has its own by-laws, and some of them are stricter than Toronto's. This is what we check before anyone digs.

Trees over 15 cmThe tree by-law needs a permit to injure a tree over 15 cm across, half of Toronto's threshold, and counts any encroachment into its Tree Protection Zone as injury.
The Oak Ridges MoraineThe northern half of the city sits on the moraine, where site alteration inside a key natural heritage feature or its vegetation protection zone is prohibited, so routes for gates, pools and outbuildings are planned early. The City's moraine page.
Wetlands and ravinesLand within 30 m of a wetland is regulated by the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority, so a trench there can need its approval.
Fibre in the northAround Stouffville Road and Leslie Street, YorkNet expects fibre in summer 2027. Until then, we plan WiFi around Starlink and a backup line. Inside the Gormley heritage district, we check with the City before a dish goes up.

Questions? Straight answers.

Short answers on rebuilds, upgrades and trees.

Should I pre-wire my Richmond Hill rebuild for a home theatre?

A Richmond Hill home theatre is easiest to plan in a rebuild. AVAS Automation pre-wires South Richvale rebuilds at framing with your builder, so cable for the theatre, speakers, cameras and WiFi goes in once and stays hidden. It is the cleanest time to do it, and the house is ready for anything you add later.

Can you upgrade a finished Bayview Hill home without opening walls?

In finished Bayview Hill homes, AVAS Automation fits smart keypads into the wall boxes you already have, runs cable through attics and basements, and adds cameras and speakers with small, careful openings where needed. You get better WiFi, lighting control and security without a renovation.

Do I need a tree permit to run cable in Richmond Hill?

Richmond Hill's tree by-law needs a permit to injure a tree over 15 cm across and treats any encroachment into its Tree Protection Zone as injury. AVAS Automation plans cable and conduit routes around root zones and checks them with your arborist where a trench has to pass near a tree.
