Luxury Smart Home Integration in Olathe, Kansas

Olathe, KS
New construction leadership. Acreage estate expertise.
Olathe has emerged as one of the Kansas City Metro’s most active luxury new construction markets. Johnson County’s southward residential expansion has brought a generation of custom builder activity to Olathe. large lots, custom floor plans, and homes in the upper price tiers that attract buyers relocating from other major metros. The new construction environment in Olathe creates an ideal opportunity for systems integration work to be done the right way: from the beginning of the project, not retrofitted into completed construction. Pre-wire, rack room design, structured cabling, and network infrastructure decisions made at rough-in define what is possible when the home is handed over to the owner. and working with the right integration partner from the start is the single most important decision an Olathe new construction client can make.
Larger acreage estates in Olathe and the surrounding unincorporated Johnson County areas introduce specific technical requirements beyond what a standard suburban luxury home demands. Outbuildings, barns, equipment storage, and guest quarters on the same parcel require network infrastructure that extends well beyond the main house. Outdoor audio systems for pool and entertaining areas spanning large lots require engineered solutions rather than consumer products. Security and access control systems for gated entries, long driveways, and property perimeters of several acres require camera placements and network backhaul designs that go beyond what most residential AV firms are capable of specifying. Restrepo Innovations and Simplicity KC address all of these requirements with the engineering rigor they deserve. treating each outbuilding, each outdoor zone, and each access control point as a deliberate engineering decision rather than an afterthought.
Joe Acree and the Simplicity KC team have developed working relationships with several of Olathe’s most active custom builders, making the partnership a natural choice for new construction projects where the builder is already familiar with Simplicity’s quality and reliability. Restrepo adds the engineering leadership. Elite Pro Crestron programming, Ubiquiti UISP and Pro Partner network design, and L-Acoustics certified audio that raises every Olathe project to the standard that buyers in this price tier should expect and deserve. For clients building in Olathe who maintain or plan to establish residences in the Northeast, the Restrepo and Simplicity KC partnership provides a consistent path to consistent engineering across all properties, with the same Crestron programming standard applied to every home in the client’s portfolio regardless of which market it is located in.

The Partnership Model
Builder partnerships and acreage estate expertise for Olathe’s growing luxury market.
Simplicity KC has developed working relationships with custom builders active in Olathe and southern Johnson County, creating a natural integration path for new construction clients whose builder already knows and trusts the Simplicity KC team. Restrepo Innovations raises every project with Elite Pro Crestron engineering, Ubiquiti UISP and Pro Partner network design, and HTA Luxury Certified standards. the engineering framework that transforms a good integration outcome into an exceptional one.
For acreage estate projects, Restrepo’s engineering depth is particularly valuable. Large-lot properties with outbuildings, equipment storage, guest quarters, and extended perimeters require systems design that accounts for the full scope of the property, not just the main house. Restrepo engineers produce documentation that covers every structure and every outdoor zone, giving Simplicity KC the execution clarity needed to deliver a complete and coherent system.
Restrepo refers Northeast clients who are building or purchasing in Olathe to Simplicity KC, and Simplicity refers Olathe clients with NJ, CT, or NY residences to Restrepo. For clients coming from or moving to other major metros, the partnership ensures that the integration standard established at their primary residence follows them to Olathe.

The Restrepo Process
How we work with Olathe clients.
For new construction projects in Olathe, the process begins at pre-construction. Restrepo and Simplicity KC engage with the builder and architect to specify pre-wire scope, rack room location, structured cabling layout, and network infrastructure requirements. This engagement happens at or before framing. it cannot wait until drywall is hung. The earlier we are involved, the better the outcome and the lower the cost.
Engineering is led by Restrepo from Franklin Lakes. The documentation set produced by Restrepo. pre-wire specifications, rack room drawings, Crestron programming plans, and network architecture. is used by Simplicity KC to manage the installation through every phase of construction, from rough-in to final commissioning. Clients receive regular project updates and a dedicated point of contact at Simplicity KC throughout.
After handover, Simplicity KC provides local service response and Restrepo handles remote programming and engineering support. New construction clients typically establish service agreements to cover the first years of operation, ensuring that any adjustments needed as the family settles into the home are addressed promptly and without the friction of scheduling individual service calls.
Frequently Asked Questions
Questions from Olathe homeowners and builders.
When in the construction process should we engage Restrepo and Simplicity KC?
As early as possible. ideally at the design development phase, before pre-wire begins. Infrastructure decisions made at rough-in define what the completed system can achieve. Engaging after walls are closed is not impossible, but it is more costly and limits options. We encourage builders and homeowners to bring us into the conversation at the earliest stage of the project.
Can you coordinate directly with my custom builder in Olathe?
Yes. working with custom builders is a core part of our Olathe market approach. Simplicity KC has established relationships with builders active in this market and understands how to operate within a custom construction timeline. Restrepo provides the technical documentation the builder needs to accommodate our infrastructure requirements.
What does Elite Pro Crestron programming mean for a new construction home?
It means the control system is designed and programmed at the highest level of the Crestron ecosystem. Every scene, automation logic, and device integration is specified and programmed by Restrepo engineers. not by a generalist AV firm with a basic Crestron dealer relationship. The result is a system that performs reliably from day one and can be modified and expanded without rebuilding the programming foundation.
How do you handle networking for a large Olathe property with outbuildings?
Restrepo designs every network as a Ubiquiti UISP and Pro Partner, with full-property coverage including all outbuildings and remote structures. Connectivity to remote structures is typically delivered via buried conduit with fiber or copper, or via engineered point-to-point wireless backhaul where burial is not practical. Every structure on the property receives the same quality of connectivity as the main house.
Can you design outdoor audio for a large lot with a pool and outdoor kitchen?
Yes. and large-lot outdoor audio for Olathe acreage estates is specifically within our expertise. L-Acoustics certified engineers design outdoor audio systems for coverage areas that consumer products cannot serve adequately. Weatherized speaker systems, properly calibrated for the acoustic environment of open outdoor spaces, are specified and installed by the same team.
What does ongoing support look like after the new construction project is complete?
Simplicity KC provides local service response from their Overland Park base. Restrepo handles remote programming updates and technical support. Service agreements for new construction clients are available and strongly recommended. new homes require adjustments as the family settles in, and a service agreement ensures those adjustments happen quickly and without friction.
Are there KC Metro service area limits for this partnership?
We serve the full Kansas City Metro, including all of Johnson County, and extend to unincorporated areas of Olathe and surrounding townships for acreage estate projects. If your property is in an area we have not listed, contact us directly. we evaluate service reach on a project-by-project basis for properties that fall outside our standard coverage area.
