About
Owner-led engineering in Gauteng.
HB SevenB is a small engineering practice. We design, build and integrate software, SQL Server data systems, home automation and media systems.
Where we come from
Our core is SQL Server: data models, T-SQL and performance work for systems where wrong data costs money.
Home automation and media grew from running a large Home Assistant house of our own, with cameras, music and monitoring on the same network.
We run what we build
Our engineering lab and reference installation in Gauteng runs the systems on the track record page. A new technique is tested there before it reaches a client.
Who we work with
- Homeowners and estates in Gauteng that want Home Assistant done properly.
- Small and medium businesses that depend on SQL Server.
- Integrators and installers that need SQL Server or Home Assistant depth on a project.

Principles
What you can expect from us.
| Principle | What it means on your job |
|---|---|
| Reversible changes | Before a change starts, the way to undo it is written down. |
| Tests before release | Automated tests run before anything goes live. An independent review checks the result. |
| Safety first for devices | Locks, gates, the alarm, geysers and power never switch without a person confirming the action. |
| Privacy by design | Data stays local where possible. Sensitive data is encrypted at rest. Access is limited to named roles. |
| Plain documentation | A user guide and a technical reference, written in short, literal sentences. |
