Headland: autonomous property systems, the Marin headlands over the bay

Quotes

Every project is quoted to the property.

No two properties run on the same systems, so we do not sell from a rate card. The walkthrough is free, the scope and price arrive in writing, and no work begins until you have approved both.

How a quote happens

Walkthrough. Scope. Approval.

First

The walkthrough

Thirty minutes, free. Show us what the property runs on, what you cannot see, and what you wish you could control. If the right answer is a different specialist, we say so before you spend anything.

Then

The written scope

A written scope and price for the work: what gets documented, what gets integrated, what gets added, and exactly what it costs. Work that depends on the property (old lighting, buried pipe, panel access, gates, pumps) is scoped here, not discovered later.

Only then

Approval, then work

Nothing begins until you approve the scope. The quote is yours to keep either way, and the documentation stage is credited in full toward the build if you continue.

What gets quoted

Document. Integrate. Automate.

The same three stages on every project. Your hardware, accounts, data, diagrams, and configuration remain yours at every stage.

Step 1

Document

A field survey and working systems record for the property, useful before any integration begins. Available on its own, and credited in full toward a build.

  • Site walkthrough
  • LiDAR and spatial reference where useful
  • Device library with photos, models, and locations
  • Water, power, data, and controls diagrams
  • Open questions and prioritized recommendations

Step 2

Integrate

The local console, setup, and the connections the property supports. Typical integrations include:

  • Climate and indoor conditions
  • Water monitoring and leak alerts
  • Cameras and garage status
  • Solar, battery, and vehicle status
  • Lighting (including legacy Lutron rescue), irrigation, and pool systems when a supported interface is available
  • Electrical and energy monitoring, locks and access, security state

Hardware installation, electrical work, plumbing, custom protocol bridges, and system replacements are itemized in the same written scope.

quoted with the scope

Step 3

Automate

Automation begins only after the underlying readings and controls are dependable.

  • Leak response and approved shutoff
  • Tank and pump protection
  • Weather-aware irrigation
  • Grid-outage and backup-power confirmation
  • Schedules, scenes, and caretaker alerts

quoted with the approved scope

The operations layer, optional: property email, vendor records, and invoice workflows, quoted separately once the physical systems are reliable. Money never moves without approval.

Optional care

Keep a person in the loop.

Headland can stay on to monitor system health, manage updates and backups, and answer when something needs attention. Care is quoted with the build, and you can cancel anytime; the system continues working because it belongs to you.
