Win the first call
Send a link they can open on their phone tonight, not a PDF. Your company name is on every screen, and the link reopens their exact choices.
For custom, semi-custom and barndominium builders
After the first call, text them a link. They walk around the home, add the porch, the pool or the shop, watch the price change, and send the design back to you. No app and no design center. We build it from your plans.

What it does for your business
Most builders sell their homes themselves, between job sites, without a design center or a marketing team. Home Studio does the showing for you.
Send a link they can open on their phone tonight, not a PDF. Your company name is on every screen, and the link reopens their exact choices.
Clients see the pool, the porch or the shop on their own home, with your price beside it. An upgrade is easier to say yes to when you can see it.
Choices and an estimate are on the table early, so your selections meeting starts from what they've already seen. It doesn't replace your review.
No builder has used Home Studio yet. The founding pilot is how we'll measure these results with you.
Try what your client sees
This is the idea in miniature. In the 3D demo, every choice appears on the home and in the estimate together, so the budget conversation happens before the contract, not after.
Example figures only, not a quote. Your version uses your own prices.
Sell the vision
One tap lifts the roof, raises each floor and slides the walls out, so your client sees how their home goes together. Tap anything on the home to see what it is and change it.

How it works
You don't learn any software. We do the 3D work, and you keep selling.
Floor plans, elevations and the options you offer, with your prices. PDF, CAD or your architect's files all work.
Your time: about 30 minutesYour plan, your options, your prices, your name and color. We walk through it with you before anyone sees it.
Target: about 10 business days per planClients explore on any phone, choose options, and send their design back to you with their name and choices.
The client sends it; inbox delivery is comingMade for builders like you
Each demo home is an original concept with example prices. Yours would be built from your own plan, with your options and prices.

Visual concepts with example prices. Nothing here checks structure, zoning, building rules or whether an option can be built at a real site.
Where it fits
Home-planning software and renderings both do their jobs well. Home Studio does a different one: it lets your client try your options and see your prices before they sit down with you.
| Question | Planning software | Renderings | Home Studio |
|---|---|---|---|
| Best for | Drawing and laying out a home | Marketing pictures and video | Helping a client choose and budget |
| Who does the 3D work | You or your team | A rendering studio | We do, from your plans |
| Can the client change options? | Only if they learn the tool | No, each change is a new image | Yes, only the ones you offer |
| Do prices change with choices? | Not usually | No | Yes, from your price sheet |
| Construction drawings | Many can produce them | No | No, that stays with your architect |
A general comparison of these kinds of tools; individual products differ.
Pricing
Our first 3 builders get one plan, up to 7,000 sq ft, live for 90 days with their own prices. If you stay on a monthly plan, the full $1,500 counts toward your build fee.
Proposed prices, confirmed in writing before you commit.
Straight answers
Your version uses your own price sheet. Options you don't price don't show up, and every screen labels the total as an estimate that you confirm.
We model your plan from your drawings, with your finishes and options. The demo homes are examples so you can try it today.
It opens from a text on any phone, with nothing to download, and the link reopens their exact choices. Whether clients use it is exactly what the pilot measures.
Send us a new price sheet and we load it. The Builder plan includes updates whenever you need them; a single project includes two.
Every total says it's an estimate and that you confirm the final price. You review dimensions, scope and cost before anything is final.
The page doesn't store or send client details. When a client is ready, the app writes a message with their design, and they send it to you from their own email or phone.
It's an interactive 3D model, not a photograph, with scanned stone, brick and paving, real sun and night lighting, and seasons. We keep improving realism with every release.
Product
Each control below works in the current demo. A builder's version is set up with that builder's plan, options and prices.
| Setting | Estate neighborhood · Ranch on acreage · City condo tower · New York-style high-rise · Mountain ridge · Suburban street · Oceanfront · High desert · Wooded lot · Your own parcel (concept) | The plan on a lot like theirs, with matching neighbors, trees and views. |
|---|---|---|
| Condo residence | Studio · 2 Bedroom · Two-story loft | Buyers compare unit types in the same building, each fully furnished. |
| High-rise residence | Second floor · Third floor · Rooftop pool · Party deck · Rooftop garden · Terrace options | A tower residence with a built-out terrace over a generic city. Added floors and the rooftop appear in the model, floor plan and example price. Concept only. |
| Arrival | Gate styles that open and close · Driveway shapes · Driveway lights · Ranch land: mountain, Texas or forest | Estate, Mountain and Ranch. Each choice shows in the model with an example price. Concept placement only. |
| Interiors | Living room · Kitchen · Bedroom · Balcony | Furnished rooms with daylight and evening lighting. |
| Rooms you can customize | Primary closet · Flex room · Garage storage | Estate, mountain and parcel homes. Choices that fit the room update the 3D view, a dimensioned plan and the example price together. |
| Price and summary only | Kitchen and pantry · Laundry and mudroom · Windows | Priced choices that appear in the estimate and the saved design. They aren't drawn in 3D. |
| Time of day | Dawn → Night, 5:30 AM – 11:30 PM | A general sun path. Interior and landscape lights switch on at dusk. |
| Sun path for a location | Address or coordinates | Sets the sun direction for that location only. It doesn't place the home on a parcel. |
| Season | Spring · Summer · Fall · Winter | Blossoms, fall color, bare branches and snow on the roof and lawn. |
| Exterior finishes | Cladding · Masonry · Window frames | Set up from your selections, so buyers only see what you offer. |
| Outdoor living | Pool · Fire pit · Outdoor kitchen · Pergola · Lighting · Orchard · Kitchen garden · Greenhouse · Guest cabin · Hot tub deck · Sauna (varies by setting) | Turn add-ons on and off to show the upgrade path. |
| Real parcel example | Hampton National Historic Site · Boundary · Aerial photo · Land shape · True sun path | One public property set up from Maryland parcel data and USGS imagery and elevation, with the mansion's exterior modeled from HABS survey drawings. It's an approximate example, not a survey or client project. |
| Place it on real land (secondary) | Address lookup · Aerial photo · Land shape · Boundary in MD and DE · Place & turn the home · Garage side · Driveway route · Move yard features · Saved alternatives · Concept sheet | A landowner or family places the concept home on their land and shares the concept with a builder. It's approximate: boundaries are mapping data or traced by hand, and it is not a survey, setback or buildability check. |
| Pull apart | Roof lifts · Floors rise · Walls slide out · Floor drops | One tap shows how the home goes together, then puts it back. Every single-family home. |
| Tap to identify | Stone · Cladding · Windows · Roof · Paving · Decking · Driveway · Upgrades | Tap anything to see what it is, the option chosen and its price, with a shortcut to change it. |
| Camera views | Street · Entry · Backyard · Pool · Fire pit · Living room · Aerial | Guided views for showings, plus free orbit and a presentation mode. |
| Floor plans | Every level · Room sizes in feet · Tap to enter | Buyers read the layout, then step into any room in 3D. |
| Example pricing | Home · Lot · Finishes · Upgrades · Total | Each choice shows an example price and the total updates. They're estimates, not quotes. |
| Message to the builder | Name · Phone · Timeline · Lot area | Writes a message with the design link and choices. The buyer sends it from their own email or phone; the page sends nothing. |

How a pilot would work
No builder's home has been set up yet, so these steps and times are our target for a first pilot, not a track record.
Floor plans, elevations and your finish schedule. CAD, PDF or a 3D model from your architect all work.
Your time: about 30 minutesWe model the home, load your finishes and prices, and add your name and color. You review it with us in a walkthrough call. It's a visual aid, not construction documents.
Target: about 10 business days per planText the link to clients or run it in your model home. Clients send you a message with their design link and choices.
The client sends it; nothing is automatic yetWhat we need from you
Most builders already have all of this in their plan set.
Proposed pricing
Every home starts with a one-time build fee based on its size. Then pick how you keep it live. These are proposed prices. No builder's home has been built yet, so they may change after our first pilots, and we'll confirm yours in writing before you commit.
For one spec home, model home or client's custom build. 12-month term, then renew or take it down.
For builders selling several plans. Month to month.
For communities, large estates and developments. Scoped and quoted on its own.
One-time build fee
| Size | What it covers | Proposed fee |
|---|---|---|
| Standard home | Up to 3,500 sq ft, one building | $3,500 |
| Large home | 3,500 to 7,000 sq ft, one building | $6,000 |
| Estate | Over 7,000 sq ft, or a complex site | From $9,500 |
| Extra building | Barn, shop, arena, guest house or similar | $2,000 each |
| Room customizer | A room clients can configure, with its plan and pricing | $950 each |
Every build fee includes modeling from your plans and elevations, your name and colors, and loading your price sheet. Fees assume complete plans with dimensions.
What the first year costs

Founding builder program
$1,500 for one of your plans, up to a Large home, live for 90 days with your prices. If you stay on a monthly plan, the full $1,500 counts toward your build fee. In return, we ask for your honest feedback and, if you're comfortable, permission to share what we learn together. We'll agree the delivery date and terms in writing first.
pilot spots, so each builder gets our full attention.
Questions builders ask
No. It runs in the web browser on phones, tablets and computers. Buyers open a link and start exploring.
That's the plan for a builder's version. The demo house is an example. We'd model your home from your floor plans and elevations, with your cladding, masonry and window selections. No builder's home has been set up yet, so a pilot is how we'd test it.
The Builder plan includes an embed for your site. We add your website's address during setup so it can load there. Single projects get a branded link you can share anywhere, including texts, email and social posts.
The client sends them to you. The app writes a message with the design link and choices, addressed to your email if you give us one, and the client sends it themselves. Automatic delivery to an inbox or CRM isn't built yet; we'd scope it with you.
A Builder plan goes offline at the end of the billing month. A single project stays live until its 12-month term ends. We'd agree what you keep before setup starts.
The demo house is procedural geometry rendered in the browser, with sun shadows, reflective glass and night lighting. It's a visual concept, not a photoreal render. How close a builder's version gets depends on the files you supply and the scope we agree.
Contact
Tell us about the homes you build. We'll walk you through the demo and show how your own plan would look.
ikagserv@gmail.comWe aim to reply within one business day. Include your company name and how many homes you build a year.
Spend a minute in the live demo so we can talk about what you'd want for your own homes.
Home Studio is built for builders first. The demo can place its concept home on a real aerial photo and land shape, but it doesn't check surveys, zoning or buildability. Choose “Landowner or land agent” in the form to tell us what you'd want buyers to see. We'll reply by email.
If you work with custom builders, we'd like to talk about a referral partnership. Email us with "Partner" in the subject.
