Homeowner Interior Planning Kit
Six guided steps and 33 interactive tools that take you from “I want to do up my home” all the way to keys in hand. Work through them in order, or jump straight to whichever step matches where you are today.
Calibrated for Indian apartments and villas — pricing, BOQs, materials, Vastu, code references — and free to use. No login required.
Step 1 · Brief
Capture what you actually want
Before pricing or material lists, get clarity on the brief — rooms, lifestyle, style direction, must-haves and dealbreakers. This is what your designer will quote against.
Step 2 · Budget
Set a budget the project can actually deliver
Most homeowners over-estimate finishes and under-estimate hidden costs. Use these to calibrate a realistic envelope, allocate it by component, and plan the financing.
Step 3 · BOQ
Convert intent into a line-item Bill of Quantities
A BOQ is where your design becomes contractual. Build it room by room, validate against benchmark rates, and compare it across vendors apples-to-apples.
Step 4 · Materials
Choose materials that match the budget and last
Material decisions lock you in for years. Use these to compare options against cost, durability, maintenance and sustainability — not just looks.
Step 5 · Design
Make it look, feel and function right
Layouts, lighting, storage, daylight, Vastu — the design layer that separates a serviceable interior from one you love living in. Bring a designer in early or use these to brief them.
Step 6 · Handover
Take possession without surprises
Possession is where overlooked defects become expensive owner problems. Run through these checklists with the developer / contractor before signing acceptance.
You’ve got the whole kit.
Every tool above is free and works without login. Bookmark this page — most homeowners come back to a different step every few weeks as the project moves. If you want a designer or architect to help you through the kit, we can match you with one.
