How it works

Home scan icon

1

We Scan Your Home

We pop around and scan your entire home, using our state of the art LiDAR camera. The whole process will take less than one hour.

2

Design Meeting

We will meet you over video calls at a convenient time, armed with a full 3D mock-up of your entire home. We will discuss your needs, design your proposal on-screen and answer any questions you may have.

Relax and Sit-Tight

It’s time for our expert team to get to work! Plans are ready within 2-4 weeks – not the 3 months you’d expect from your local Architect. Why not use this time to start looking for builders or a contractor?
3 full rounds of unlimited design changes are included in your quote.

4

Planning & Building Control

We then submit your planning and building control applications to the local authority and act on your behalf until a decision is reached. All you have to pay is the application fees directly to the council.
Then it’s time to get building!
