Why I Started Bridger Automation
I spent 16 years in the automation industry before founding Bridger Automation, and over that time I kept seeing the same problem play out on project after project. Homeowners, builders and designers were juggling separate electricians, automation integrators, AV specialists and programmers, each working to their own scope and timeline, with no one taking ownership of how it all came together. The result was too often delays, finger-pointing, and technology that never quite worked the way it was promised.
I realised there was a real gap in the market. Very few companies had truly bridged the divide between electrical and automation. Electricians wired the home, integrators installed the technology, and the client was left in the middle trying to make the two talk to each other.
That’s why I founded Bridger Automation. The name says it all: we bridge the gap. We deliver a complete turnkey solution, with every service under one roof. From the initial design concept and electrical planning, through installation, integration and programming, all the way to handing you a single smart device that controls every piece of technology in your home: lighting, climate, security, audio-visual, blinds and more.
One team. One point of contact. One seamless result.
Twelve years on, that approach is still at the heart of everything we do. Because we design and build the electrical and automation together from day one, nothing is an afterthought. Every cable, every device and every system is planned to work as one, which means a smoother build for you and your builder, and a home that is genuinely intelligent, reliable and simple to use.
With 28 years in the industry behind me, my goal remains simple: to take the complexity out of smart homes and deliver technology that just works, backed by the experience and accountability that comes from doing it all ourselves.
