The calculator

Takes about two minutes. Your answers stay with us.

Why we publish numbers

Most companies in this business will not say what anything costs until they have been to your house twice. We would rather you know the range before we ever meet, so the conversation starts at the right place. The calculator is the same math we use before we quote.

Budget questions, answered directly

How accurate is the range?

It is the same starting math we use internally. Well-designed media rooms start from $15,000, most dedicated Dolby Atmos theaters land between $30,000 and $75,000, and high-end rooms run above that. Your room, seating count and finish level move the number; the calculator asks about all three.

Does the calculator include seating and construction?

It estimates the technology, acoustic treatment and control. Theater seating (Row One, United Leather, Fortress) and construction are shown as separate line items in a real proposal so you can see where the money goes.

What happens after I get a number?

Nothing, unless you want it to. If the range fits, book a consultation and we will walk the room, confirm the design, and give you a written proposal with real numbers.

Dedicated theater or media room?

A dedicated theater is one room built for one purpose: controlled light, acoustic treatment, tiered seating. A media room lives with the family and handles Sunday football too. Most clients land in the media room category and love it. The calculator handles both.
