Who We Are

South Sound's only firm holding all five certifications.

Rivas Technology Group is a custom AV, smart home, security, and networking integration firm based in Kent, WA. We serve builders and homeowners across King and Pierce County.

What separates us: we are the only firm in the South Sound holding Control4 Gold, Ajax Systems, AVA, Josh.ai, and CEDIA certifications simultaneously. Every system in a home — from the network switch to the security keypad to the theater — is designed by people who understand how it all connects.

We don't subcontract. The team that designs the system installs it, programs it, and picks up the phone six months later.

Our Process

We work around your schedule.
Not the other way around.

Every phase maps directly to your construction milestones. Here's exactly what to expect on every job we work on together.

Before Permits
Technology Design & Infrastructure Plan
We review your architectural drawings and produce a complete low-voltage infrastructure plan. Every homerun path, box location, and conduit run is mapped. Your framing crew gets a field-ready diagram — not a concept sketch.
No charge to builderArchitectural reviewField-ready diagrams
Framing
Low-Voltage Rough-In
We coordinate directly with your electrical and framing crews. All structured cabling, conduit, and box placements go in per the infrastructure plan. We pull our own permits. If your schedule moves, we move with it.
Our permitsDirect trade coordinationAligned to your timeline
Finish Work
Trim-Out & Device Installation
Keypads, speakers, cameras, access points, touch panels — all go in clean and flush during finish work. Your PM gets advance notice before we arrive. No surprise appearances on the job site.
Pre-phase notificationClean installsNo mess left behind
Punch List
Programming, Commission & Client Walkthrough
We commission every system at punch list — Control4 programming, network configuration, security activation, AV calibration. The homeowner gets a complete walkthrough. They leave with our direct number. Tech questions come to us from this point forward.

The Builder Benefit

What you never
deal with again.

The most valuable thing we bring to a build isn't what we install. It's what we absorb — so it never lands on your team.

Post-move-in tech support calls
WiFi issues, remote problems, camera outages — those go to our number, not yours. Permanently. The client relationship on technology is ours from commissioning day.
Mid-build technology scrambles
No more clients asking smart home questions with walls already closed. We answer those questions before demo starts — with a plan already built into the drawings.
Low-voltage rework costs
Wrong box locations, missing conduit, insufficient homerun capacity. Our infrastructure plan eliminates every one of these before framing ever starts.
Technology warranty disputes
Hardware issues go through us. We handle manufacturer claims. Your workmanship warranty stays clean and your team stays out of the conversation.
Subcontractor status chasing
Every phase is documented. We flag issues before they become surprises. Your PM always knows where we are — without ever having to ask.
What you do get
A technology partner who shows up on time, communicates clearly, and makes your builds more valuable to buyers — without adding a single thing to your workload.
"The best technology in a home is the kind nobody has to think about. We design it that way from the first conversation — so your clients never notice it's there. They just notice that everything works."
