BAi Systems
BAi Systems designs, integrates, and commissions unified building automation for architecturally sophisticated homes and commercial spaces. Founded by Tyler Christensen in Salt Lake City, the firm treats automation with the same engineering rigor as HVAC or structural systems — delivering precision lighting, climate, security, AV, and environmental controls that occupants feel but never see.
About
BAi Systems was founded on a simple observation: brilliant architects were designing extraordinary spaces, and technology integrators were undermining those designs with visible equipment and poor documentation. Most integrators come from the AV or security world, where the equipment is the product. In luxury residential construction, the equipment should be invisible — the experience is the product.
BAi brings commercial-grade engineering rigor to every project, from 3,000-square-foot renovations to 30,000-square-foot new construction. Their documentation has become a competitive advantage for the architects and builders they partner with — and a differentiator for the properties they deliver.
Key Features
BAi Systems combines software engineering precision with deep building systems expertise to deliver automation that architects trust and homeowners never think about. Every number below reflects a methodology refined across hundreds of projects.

Why Choose Us
Where most integrators assemble products, BAi Systems engineers complete building automation systems — with the documentation standards, trade coordination, and commissioning rigor you'd expect from an MEP firm. The result is technology that performs flawlessly and remains invisible to the people living in it.
Zero Unresolved Callbacks
Across 13+ years and thousands of systems delivered, BAi maintains zero unresolved service callbacks — a direct result of engineering every system rather than assembling it from a product catalog.
Documentation as a Deliverable
Every project receives portfolio-worthy engineering packages: technology narratives, wire schedules, device location plans, coordination drawings, user guides, and warranty summaries — protecting every stakeholder for the lifetime of the system.
Product-Agnostic Engineering
BAi specifies the right solution for each project, not the products that earn the highest margin. Their loyalty is to the architecture and the occupant experience, not a vendor relationship.
Invisible by Design
If someone notices the technology, they've failed. BAi's systems enhance the experience of a space — lighting, climate, security, AV — without announcing their presence or requiring a manual.
Full Trade Coordination
BAi works directly with electrical, HVAC, and low-voltage contractors from schematic design through commissioning, eliminating the integration friction that causes callbacks, delays, and finger-pointing on luxury builds.
