Hi all - I'm building a platform in the renovation space that came directly out of my own experience trying to plan a significant home project. I had a clear vision of what I wanted but when it came to translating that into a realistic budget, understanding what a proper scope of works actually looked like, and then making sense of the builder quotes that came back, I hit a wall.
Even with a good architect involved, the financial and commercial side of the decision felt very exposed. I didn't know what "reasonable" looked like, and I didn't have a structured way to compare what builders were actually offering.
That gap between having a design vision and being able to make a confident financial decision, is what I'm trying to solve. I've spent the last few months working closely with Quantity Surveyors to understand how that intelligence could be structured into software.
I'm now speaking to homeowners about what that pre-build stage actually felt like: the budgeting, the quotes, what you wish you'd known earlier. No product demo, no pitch. Just a 20-minute conversation.
If you're willing to share your experience, please drop a comment or DM me.
