How much are new home builders spending on home theatre systems?


Answers: New homebuilders aren't spending any money on Home Theaters. The homeowner is, through the homebuilder. No builders are putting in $25k systems as standard because the builder sells houses, not home theater. This is smart.

Now, that said, Homeowners are buying Home Theaters in droves and spending lots of money. Smart homebuilders are letting them. Shortsighted homebuilders are staying away from custom add-on options on new homes. They get stung by crap contractors who are working for the homeowner. They could make a profit in this arena, but, they just need to qualify the contractor better, and most builders don't know how.

This is the business I am in, and will be franchising soon, and I will start teaching Home Entertainment, to include anything low voltage, so well aware of the builder mentality.

Why do you ask?
depends on the size of the home.If it is a really big home, about 35,000-10,000 dollars. But if it is a moderately sized house, it is about 10,000 to 25,000 dollars.
The average home builder will wire your home for whole house audio and home theater. The builder may offer a home theater system as an upgrade. But through experience, the builder usually does not spend a bundle on the equipment, but will charge you that.

Higher end builders will do the same, but at a higher level. He may have a home audio sub-contractor. In the end, it's the buyer who pays heavily. If you can get your house wired , you'll same money hiring or installing the equipment yourself. Builders don't give you a choice on equipment. At least here in Texas.
