Site survey
Walls corner by corner, typed measurements that lock, openings and services, floor by floor, and the plot outside.
DelineoDesign with the client
Design it with the client in the room.
Draw the changes over the survey while the client watches: doors moved or blocked up, walls knocked through, new furniture against the old.
The problem
Drawn Up Later, Agreed Never
The survey is on paper, the design is in a different program, and the client sees it a week later. By then the conversation has moved on and changes mean starting again.
The answer
Survey and Design in One Drawing
The design sits on top of the survey, so the existing room is always there to compare against.
01
Changes over the survey
Move a door, block up an opening, knock a wall through, or put in new units. The existing layout stays on the drawing, shown faint, so the change is easy to see.
02
Option A and option B
Keep layouts side by side and save versions as the job moves on, so you can go back and show the client how it looked an hour ago.
03
Units from a real catalogue
For kitchens, bedrooms and bathrooms, add units from a manufacturer’s catalogue file. Corner units sit where the brochure says, fillers fit the gap, and sizes stay within what can actually be ordered. The app knows no maker until you load one, and we can build a catalogue for your own ranges.
04
Show it in 3D
Turn the screen round and walk the client through the design in 3D, with finishes and shadows from the real sun.
05
Knock-on effects
Each design change says what work it needs, and what it knocks on to next door.
FAQ
Questions.
Does it know my manufacturer?
It is manufacturer-neutral. Ranges, codes and size rules come from catalogue files, so it works with what you sell. We can build a catalogue directly for your business.
Can I show the client two layouts?
Yes. Keep option A and option B side by side and save versions as the job moves on.
Can it do quotes?
Not by itself: on its own it gives you the survey and drawings to present. With DesBu, link the job and the rooms become the starting point of an estimate.
