four zones · per unit and per development.
A residential development has four simultaneous fronts: active construction (perimeter + worker dorms), the model home (security + climate), finished units with finishes (leaks + climate), and the embedded IoT amenity in every sold unit from pre-sale.
active construction + perimeter
PIR perimeter sensor for the development + door sensor on shed and sales office + people counter at access. Anti-theft for nights and weekends. Worker dorms with temperature + humidity + smoke/CO sensors.
defended model home
Door sensors + zone PIR motion · immediate intrusion alert. Leak sensors under kitchen + bathrooms (visits damage finishes). Temperature sensor for pre-arrival climate. Zero "model home damaged" on Mondays.
finished units + finishes
Leak sensor under kitchen + bathrooms + laundry + water heater in each delivered or about-to-deliver unit. Premium finishes ($50-200K MXN per unit) protected in the critical window between completion and buyer delivery.
embedded IoT amenity
Leak sensor + thermostat + door sensor already installed in each unit before delivery. The new owner receives the home with active monitoring from day one · differentiating amenity in pre-sales · zero expensive post-delivery retrofit.
Out of scope: pre-sales CRM · construction ERP · crew scheduling. If you need to integrate quality and deliverability data into the CRM, we do it via Custom Integration.
what we protect · what we prevent.
- +Model home defended 24/7 · zero vandalism or theft on the #1 sales tool
- +Premium finishes protected in critical window · leak sensor under every equipment
- +Development perimeter watched · workers + materials + equipment protected
- +Worker dorms with automatic STPS · turnover reduced · developer image
- +Differentiating IoT amenity in pre-sales · advantage vs residential competition
- ✕Vandalism or theft on model home · #1 sales tool damaged · lost prospects
- ✕Leak on finishes before handover · $50-200K MXN per unit + client claiming
- ✕Equipment theft on weekends · schedule delay · cost overrun
- ✕STPS fine from undocumented dormitory conditions · developer image damaged
- ✕No IoT amenity in pre-sales · premium residential competition wins the lead
ten use cases · four critical areas.
for the development manager.
Development Manager + Site Director. Three cases · equipment theft from development, undocumented dorm STPS, LP gas smoke/CO in dorms. Nighttime and weekend coverage of the whole development.
for the commercial director.
Commercial Director + Pre-sales Manager. Two cases · vandalism or theft on model home (#1 sales tool), water leak damaging model home finishes. The #1 salesperson defended 24/7.
for the quality director.
Quality Director + Delivery Lead. Three cases · leak in finished unit before handover, inadequate climate deteriorates finishes, access without traceability in delivery zone. Critical window between completion and delivery defended.
for the marketing and pre-sales director.
Marketing Director + Pre-sales Manager. Two cases · differentiating IoT amenity in pre-sales vs competition, embedded monitoring at unit handover. The sales argument turned into deliverable product.
three compliances · one platform covers all three.
For multi-family developments with 50-500 units, whole-development dashboard · per-unit deliverability ranking · closing advantage.
from sensor to report · every five minutes · without human intervention
Five steps. They run in parallel across all your sites, all the time. When something crosses a threshold, the flow completes in under five minutes — alert delivered, response logged, inspector-ready evidence captured.
measure
Sensors measure temperature, humidity, current, door-open, leak and other magnitudes every five minutes — no operator required.
detect
The system compares each reading against the threshold configured per recipe · per site · per equipment. Threshold crossing triggers the flow.
alert
The alert routes to the right person via WhatsApp, email or push · per role and schedule configured.
respond
The operator acts from the dashboard or mobile app. The corrective action goes into an immutable log with timestamp + signature.
audit
Everything becomes part of the audit package · time series, critical events, corrective actions, NOM report ready in two clicks.
Five steps · no manual operators · no paperwork · no gaps.
five phases · per development.
development survey
2-3 daysTechnical visit + inventory of units, model home, worker dorms, perimeter · delivery-schedule identification.
physical installation per phase
1-2 days per construction phasePerimeter and dorms at start · model home when built · finishes of completed units as schedule progresses · gateway with 32-hour backup.
configuration + calibration
1-2 daysSTPS thresholds + day/night rules · finished-unit vs model-home vs dorm profiles · WhatsApp alerts per role.
team training + handovers
1 dayDevelopment Manager + Commercial Director + Delivery Lead · each role trains on their flow · deliverability template with active monitoring.
30 days of support + first delivered unit
30 daysAstreaIoT specialist available · first monthly report delivered · first unit delivered with embedded monitoring to buyer.
For multi-phase 200-500 unit developments, after the first pilot phase the following ones compact to 2-3 days per phase with monthly waves.
common questions · before the quote.
how are sensors handed over to the new unit owner?
At handover, the already-installed sensors are transferred to the buyer's mobile app. The new owner receives access to their unit dashboard · active monitoring from day one · amenity included in the sale price.
is the buyer charged post-handover?
Flexible model · can be included amenity (raises sale price) or monthly buyer subscription (the developer takes a commission). Exact pricing designed with each builder per development segment.
what happens to the model home after the development sells out?
Sensors move to the next development phase or to the next model home. Redeployable hardware · CapEx amortizable across multiple developments.
does it integrate with the pre-sales CRM?
Yes · via Custom Integration. Finished-unit data + finish condition + deliverability arrive in the CRM. Sales argument backed by data on each lead.
is the dorm smoke/CO detector robust against construction dust?
Yes · detector certified for industrial conditions. Scheduled calibration. Compatible with dusty, variable-temperature dormitories.
can monitoring be offered only on premium units of the development?
Yes · per-unit configurable tier. Premium units receive full monitoring (leak + thermostat + door + security). Standard units receive basic monitoring (leak + smoke/CO) or none per commercial strategy.
does monitoring affect equipment manufacturer warranties?
No · external sensors · equipment is not modified. Compatible with any vendor (HVAC, water heater, refrigerator, alarm). Manufacturer warranty is unaffected.
