The situation was unique because QAV did not have an opportunity to prewire the Shanahan’s new home; their introduction came just before their closing.

“We found ourselves standing in a finished home with almost no low-voltage infrastructure present, and the client was dreaming big with their wish list,” Rabani said. “We were up for the challenge!”

The relationship with Mike and Peggy was brand new and got everyone at QAV buzzing about having the former head coach of the Broncos as a client. “His name carries significant weight here in Colorado,” Rabani said. “This was the beginning of a new and promising relationship.”

Mike and Peggy had just sold their home in the tony Cherry Hills neighborhood. It featured an older Crestron (SIMPL) system, and they asked QAV to “do their best” to provide the functionality and fit and finish that QAV prides themselves on. They wanted security, surveillance, access control, a robust network, whole-home lighting, motorized window treatments, distributed audio and video indoors and outside, and two “living space” theaters with a friendly voice assistant to ensure all the technology would be easy to use.
