Safe rooms and panic rooms in Milan, Brianza and the lakes: bespoke design for villas, penthouses and prestige apartments. Confidential site visit, our own technicians.

Safe rooms and panic rooms in Milan: NetCom Security Group designs and builds, with its own technicians, the secure room of the house, in villas, penthouses and prestige apartments in Milan, its hinterland and Brianza.
A safe room, also called a panic room, is the room where the family locks itself in and stays protected, with communications active, until help arrives. In Milan the demand comes mostly from penthouses in apartment buildings and from villas in Brianza: in both cases one more armoured door is not enough. What is needed is a system of envelope, access, air, light and procedures designed around the family. We build it in homes already lived in, in renovations and in villas under construction, where it integrates best from the design stage.

In brief
Where it is done in Milan
How we design it
- Confidential site visit. We look at the house, who lives in it, the daily routines, the routes and the time it takes for help to arrive.
- Scenario analysis. Intrusion with people at home, home robbery, emergency situations: for each one we decide where to lock in and for how long.
- Design of the room. Position, size, continuous envelope (walls, ceiling, floor), door and lock, air, light, backup power, independent communications.
- Integration with the system. Alarm, cameras, access control and home automation talk to the room: whoever is inside sees and communicates, whoever is outside does not get in.
- Installation and testing. Our technicians carry out the installation; at the end we test everything together with the people who will use the room and hand over the written procedures.
What makes a room secure
Safe room, strongroom, bunker
They are three different things. A safe room protects people for minutes or hours. A strongroom or vault protects valuables, resisting break-in for a long time. A bunker or shelter is for external events, for days, with filtered air. The needs can be combined in a single project: we decide after the site visit. For an overview read safe rooms and panic rooms.
Connected to the rest of the house
The secure room works if it talks to the rest: a perimeter alarm that warns early, cameras that show who is there, access control that closes the openings, home automation that switches off lights and blocks lifts. We design everything together, with our own technicians, and connect the system to selected external monitoring centres.
Confidentiality
We sign a non-disclosure agreement before receiving floor plans or documents. We ask only for the data needed for the project. Our clients' homes remain confidential, even after the works.
Where we work
We follow projects in Milan and throughout Lombardy, all over Italy and, by project, in Europe. Our office is in Negrar di Valpolicella (Verona): for Milan we arrange the site visit within a few days. The other areas: where we work in Italy.
Frequently asked questions
How much does a panic room cost in Milan?
In Milan the cost of a panic room, in the experience of NetCom Security Group, depends on the size of the room, the level of protection of the envelope and the door, the air, light and communication systems and the building works needed in the house. After the site visit NetCom prepares a written bespoke proposal.
Is a safe room tax-deductible in Italy?
In part it can be: anti-theft works, such as armoured doors and reinforcements, are among the measures admitted by the Italian Revenue Agency. For expenses in 2026 the deduction is 50% for the owner's main home and 36% in other cases, up to 96,000 euros per property, in ten annual instalments. The specific case must be checked with an accountant.
Can a panic room be built in an apartment in Milan?
Yes, in many cases. We work on internal partitions, door and systems, checking weight, building rules and escape routes. See panic room in an apartment.
How long does it take?
It depends on the house: in a renovation the room is integrated into the works; in a lived-in house the works are organised room by room, to disturb as little as possible.
Is a permit needed for a panic room in Milan?
It depends on the works: if only internal partitions, door and systems are involved, a building notice filed by the technician is normally enough; if structures, façades or a listed building are involved, further procedures are needed. NetCom prepares them with licensed professionals and checks them at the site visit.
Who does the work?
Our own technicians: NetCom designs, supplies, installs, connects to the system and tests. Structural works are signed off by licensed professionals.
Does a panic room also protect against home robberies?
Yes: that is the scenario it is born for. The family locks itself in, communicates with the outside and waits for those who intervene, while alarm and cameras document what happens.
