The word is free
Nobody advertises standard packages. It costs nothing to say and it is not a claim anybody checks. What is worth checking is whether there is an actual design behind it, because a design is a document and a package is a price.That is the whole distinction, and it survives every sales conversation. A package is a price with a description attached. A design begins at your house. Both can be perfectly honest pieces of business. Only one of them answers to your building, and you should know which one you are buying.
What a design should include
A plan describes your house. Scope should be written down feature by feature, since a general phrase leaves room for disagreement. It says what the standard white is. It says where the controller mounts and how the wiring runs. And it says which areas are not being lit.
The sequence that protects you
A price without a design is a guess wearing a decimal point. The cheaper number frequently covers a smaller scope, which you find out once it is up. When the design comes first, you are comparing the same work. When the price comes first, scope gets trimmed to hit it.Once the plan is written down, the install has a standard to meet rather than a memory to argue with.
Designing for how you live there
A good design conversation involves a lot of asking. How you use the outside of your home, which parts you occupy at night, and what the main job is. Those answers shape the design as much as the building.
Where a plan earns its keep
Most properties end up wanting several things. Piecemeal buying produces a property with lighting rather than a lit property.

The design is a conversation
A design is the start of a conversation. You can take runs out and you should, if they do not earn their place. A company that will not alter the plan is not really designing for you. The answer should not be a hesitation.
The plan is a document you keep
A design should exist on paper or a screen after the conversation ends. It is useful down the road in ways that are not obvious at the time. A company reluctant to hand over the plan is worth a second thought.
