1. A method of configuring a system of audio and/or, video components, comprising:

  • displaying, in a graphical user interface, representations of audio and/or video components, each representation corresponding to a physical component that is available for inclusion in the system;

    displaying, in the graphical user interface, a zone map that represents one or more zones, wherein at least one zone corresponds to a room in a structure;

    dragging and dropping selected representations of audio and/or video components to a selected zone of the zone map to indicate installation of selected physical components in the corresponding room;

    determining, by a processor, one or more realized services that the system is capable of providing and one or more unrealized services that the system would be capable of providing in response to a modification based at least in part on the selected representations of audio and/or video components that have been dragged and dropped to the selected zone of the zone map; and

    providing, by the processor, an output based on the one or more realized services and the one or more unrealized services.
