Retrofit Projects? Here’s Why Wireless Control Makes Perfect Sense

Retrofitting older buildings with modern technology is one of the biggest challenges in construction and development. The very character that makes a heritage building special—its solid brick walls, original plaster, and unique architecture—also makes it a nightmare for traditional electrical work.

Chasing walls, running new conduit, and patching up the damage is not just costly and time-consuming; it’s destructive.

Dimi’s wireless, battery-free system was engineered to solve this exact problem. We provide a path to modernization that respects the building’s integrity while saving you significant time and money.

The High Cost of Traditional Retrofitting

When you commit to hardwiring a retrofit project, you’re signing up for:

• Structural Disruption: Cutting into irreplaceable materials like stone, plaster, or hardwood.
• High Labor Costs: Requiring specialized electricians and plasterers for extended periods.
• Project Delays: The slow, multi-step process of wiring, patching, and painting creates significant bottlenecks.
• Tenant and Occupant Disruption: The noise, dust, and downtime can make spaces unusable.

The Wireless Advantage: Fast, Clean, and Cost-Effective

Dimi’s approach bypasses these challenges entirely. Because our keypads are self-powered and communicate wirelessly, you can deliver a full-featured smart control system without running a single new wire to the switch location.

This provides game-changing benefits for any retrofit project:

• Preserve Building Integrity: Install switches and sensors directly onto any surface—glass, stone, concrete, or tile—with zero damage.
• Slash Installation Time: What used to take days of disruptive work can now be accomplished in hours.
• Reduce Project Costs: By eliminating the need for chasing walls, cabling, and extensive remedial work, you drastically cut down on material and labor expenses.
• Minimize Downtime: Upgrade occupied spaces like hotels, offices, or residential units with virtually no disruption to tenants.

Don’t let the limitations of old buildings hold back your vision for a modern, efficient space. Dimi makes it possible to bridge the gap between historic character and future-ready technology.
