Lutron for New Construction Projects in Orange County, CA

When building a custom home in Orange County—whether in the bluffside neighborhoods of Newport Coast, the contemporary hillsides of Laguna Beach, or the coastal enclaves of Corona del Mar—every design decision shapes how the home will feel, function, and flow. One of the most important decisions you can make early in the process is to integrate Lutron lighting and motorized shading systems.

At Oasis Smart Homes, we work closely with homeowners, architects, and builders to engineer Lutron HomeWorks systems into new construction projects, ensuring lighting and shade control are seamlessly planned into the architecture from day one.

Why Lutron Is Best-Suited for New Builds

Designed to Be Built In

Lutron HomeWorks offers the highest level of customization and performance—best realized when integrated during the construction process. This allows for:

• Concealed shade pockets in ceilings
• Flush-mounted designer keypads that replace banks of switches
• Centralized dimming panels that reduce wall clutter and streamline control

Planning early results in a smarter, cleaner, and more beautiful home.

Whole-Home Scene Control

With Lutron, lighting and shades can be grouped into lifestyle-driven scenes:

• Welcome Home: lights illuminate the path from garage to kitchen
• Goodnight: entire home powers down with one touch
• Entertain: soft lighting in living, dining, and outdoor areas

Scenes are pre-programmed during commissioning and are easily adjusted as your lifestyle evolves.

Integrated Shades that Disappear

In new construction homes, we recess motorized shades into ceilings, conceal side channels into window frames, and coordinate finishes with trim and millwork—so that your window treatments disappear into the architecture when not in use.

Perfect for:

• Ocean-facing glass walls in Laguna Beach
• High windows and clerestories
• Dual shades offering both UV filtering and blackout options

Architectural Lighting Planning

We coordinate with your lighting designer or provide in-house layout services to ensure:

• Dimmable fixtures are compatible with Lutron’s advanced dimming technology
• Task, ambient, and accent lighting layers are scene-controllable
• Modern LED fixtures and high-CRI lighting meet California energy codes

Our goal is to help you realize your lighting vision—while ensuring technical performance and aesthetic excellence.

A Collaborative Approach for Builders and Designers

We work directly with your project team to:

• Align low-voltage and electrical drawings
• Coordinate device heights, finish specs, and keypad placement
• Provide cut sheets, wiring diagrams, and on-site builder support
• Ensure Lutron systems blend seamlessly with AV, climate, and security systems

Our licensed in-house electricians and Lutron-certified programmers handle every detail.

Future-Proofing the Home

Building now doesn’t mean being limited later. Lutron HomeWorks is designed with scalability and longevity in mind:

• Easily add rooms, fixtures, or scenes in the future
• System updates and reprogramming included in our 24/7 private client support
• Compatible with evolving smart home platforms like Savant, Josh.ai, and Crestron

FAQ: Lutron in New Construction

When should Lutron be introduced in a new home project?

During early design or schematic planning. This ensures wiring, shade pockets, and panel locations can be planned properly before framing.

Can Lutron keypads match my interior design?

Yes. Lutron offers a wide range of finishes—including matte, metal, and glass options—that coordinate beautifully with high-end interiors.

Do I need a separate lighting designer?

Not necessarily. We can collaborate with your lighting designer or provide in-house services to lay out and specify lighting fixtures and scenes.
