The ACT market is thriving, with population numbers predicted to increase by 32K over four years[2] , creating a high demand for new and innovative housing.
Quantify Technology Holdings Limited (ASX:QFY) (“ Quantify Technology ”, the “ Company ”) is delighted to announce the Company, together with Harvey Norman Commercial Division (“ HNCD ”), has signed a Heads of Agreement (“ HoA ”, the “ Agreement ”) with 3 Property Group (“ 3PG ”), which will see all future 3PG projects exclusively feature Quantify’s smart home solution, which will be available to purchasers under the name of ‘3Q Home Automation’.
This comes after Quantify and HNCD secured a major order with Blaq Projects for 267 apartments in Wollongong, NSW, as announced on 28 November 2019[1] .
3 Property Group is a Canberra-based property development company, with a proven track record of providing innovative technology options to their purchasers across their projects in the ACT. 3PG founders, Gary Kelly and Jaime Farelly, have received numerous industry accolades and pride themselves on creating outstanding projects that deliver enduring, sustainable value.

460K people by 2023, growing by 8K pa[2] . The ACT residential land release program is targeting the release of 15.6K homes over four years, to cater for new housing demand[3] .
The three-year HoA means Quantify’s products will be a standard inclusion in an initial 53 townhouses across three current projects, known as Balcombe Terraces, Sage and Soho, which will make these developments the first fully voice-enabled projects in the ACT, featuring ‘3Q Home Automation’. The first installations are planned to take place in April 2020.
This order will be Quantify’s first in the ACT, while also being the second major order distributed via HNCD, since it announced its initial stocking order of $500K in May 2019[4] . As part of the Agreement, Quantify’s products will also be installed into three demonstration suites and will be available to future projects, across the next three years.
The initial order is in excess of $170K. As part of the HoA, HNCD will honour a three-year fixed pricing scheme. Under the exclusive agreement, 3PG will install a turn-key solution, consisting primarily of Quantify devices, in addition to smart speakers and Wi-Fi. The three-year HoA can be terminated through material breach by either party.
All three companies have agreed to promote and market in consultation with one another, through blog posts, media articles and other advertising materials, as appropriate.
3 Property Group Director, Gary Kelly, commented: “At 3 Property Group, we have a firm understanding of what’s involved in creating and delivering a great development. When Harvey Norman Commercial Division spoke to us about Quantify’s smart home solution, we were confident it was going to reinforce the 3 Property Group philosophy, which is to always be one step ahead in innovation.
