  • How frequently will the space be used?
  • Are you converting an existing room or building new?
  • What activities besides viewing do you want to accommodate?

When selecting a professional, ask about their experience with electronics installation, equipment sourcing, sound system options, and control system recommendations. Ensure they can handle both design and installation if needed.
