The Process
Building a tour-grade simulator into a finished home is an engineering project. Most of that work is Precision’s, not yours. This page lays out exactly how a Precision room comes together, what Precision takes on, and the few moments that need you.
Four phases. One fixed quote before anything is ordered. No box of parts on your driveway.
The Four Phases
Your build runs four phases, in this order. You approve the design and the price before a single component is ordered, and you deal with one point of contact from the first call through the last calibration.
A conversation, not a sales call. Precision asks how you play, who else will use the room, and what the space has to do when it isn't a simulator. You come away knowing whether this is worth pursuing, what it will realistically cost, and what your room can support.
No site visit required. Working from your measurements and photographs — the Space Calculator walks you through exactly what to capture — Precision analyzes your room's dimensions, ceiling height, ambient light, and power, and from that produces the room design and a fixed, all-in quote covering equipment, delivery, and installation. Nothing is ordered until you approve both.
Every component is specified against your room and ordered as one matched system. Projector throw distance, mounting points, cable runs, and screen tension are resolved on paper before anything ships, so your installer arrives with a plan rather than a puzzle. This phase requires nothing from you.
A professional installer assembles, mounts, and calibrates your system to the design specified for your room. You are not managing the trade, sourcing it, or explaining the project to it — Precision schedules it, briefs it on your build, and remains the single party accountable until you have hit balls and the numbers are right.
Two Ways to Build
Both paths use the same equipment and carry the same manufacturer warranties. The difference is who does the work, how long it takes, and who owns the result if the calibration is off. Here is what each actually costs you.
Your time: roughly 25–50 hours, typically spread across two to four weekends.
Installation cost: $0. The entire labor budget stays in your pocket.
What the two-hour number actually covers. A kit enclosure goes up in about one to two hours. That is the frame and the screen. The rest of the room is the real work: mounting and aligning the projector, positioning and calibrating the launch monitor, PC and software setup, cable routing, turf and mat, and any electrical.
You own the outcome. Component warranties still apply, but alignment, calibration and fit are yours to get right. Custom-sized enclosures are commonly non-returnable, and cancellation fees on custom orders can reach 50% of the purchase price.
A good fit if you enjoy the build, have the weekends free, and are comfortable troubleshooting your own calibration.
Your time: install day access, a walkthrough, and training on the system. Not weekends. No published industry figure exists for this, so this page does not invent one.
Installation cost: roughly $500 to $10,000 across the market, depending on scope. Software-and-PC-only setups sit at the bottom of that range; full-room installation commonly runs $1,500 to $7,000, with premium custom builds quoted up to $10,000.
On site: one to three days, depending on complexity.
You receive a calibrated room. A professional installer handles mounting, alignment, calibration, cabling and configuration. You play the day it is finished.
A good fit if your weekends are worth more than the labor cost, or if the room involves electrical, structural or finish work you would rather not manage.
Precision quotes both. If you want the equipment and the room design without the labor, Precision sells exactly that and tells you honestly what you are taking on.
The riskiest moment in most simulator projects is the one nobody plans for: the day the equipment arrives and responsibility quietly shifts to the homeowner. Boxes land, a stack of manuals stays, and finishing the room becomes your project to manage.
That handoff does not exist here. One party specified your room, one party scheduled the install, and one party answers for the result.
Ownership begins the day your room is calibrated — not the day the boxes arrive.
A simulator is a system of moving parts — software updates, projector alignment, screen tension, launch monitor firmware. Rooms drift. Yours does not drift alone.
You deal with the same point of contact who specified your build, not a general support queue. Your room's dimensions, component list, and calibration settings are on file, because Precision specified them.
The measure of this process is not the day your room is installed. It is whether you are still playing on it two years from now.
Phase one costs nothing and commits you to nothing. Precision evaluates your room, tells you honestly what it can support, and gives you a fixed, all-in number.
