Velbus Digital Backbone vs Classic Wiring

Adjust the project size and the assumptions below to see how a digital backbone can change the labour, copper and margin on a job.

Project controls

£

Combined standard hardware, lighting switches and heating stats budget.

Your assumptions

60%

Share of cable-pulling and copper cost saved by running a simple bus loop instead of individual switch drops.

40%

Installation time saved through centralised consumer-unit wiring and fewer intricate joints.

25%

Chargeable premium for configuration extras (All-Off buttons, scenes, heating links) that need no extra hardware or copper.

Traditional wiring margin
£0

Heavy copper layout, long cable runs, fixed configuration.

Velbus digital margin
£0

Less copper to pull, less first-fix time, plus configuration upsell.
