Last-Minute Clarity That Saved $20,000

How One Homeowner Found 8 Critical Changes — Even After Pouring the Foundation
👨‍👩‍👦 Homeowner Overview

This custom home project was already well underway — foundation poured and framing scheduled. The homeowner was excited but starting to feel the pressure of “hoping everything works out” once walls went up.

They came to Walk Your Plans looking for one last moment of clarity before construction moved forward.

❗ The Challenge

With concrete already in the ground, most homeowners feel like they’re locked in. But even at this stage, it can be hard to visualize what those floor plans really mean in full scale — and mistakes are expensive once framing begins.

This homeowner wanted to feel fully confident about room layout, door swings, and furniture placement before committing to the next phase.

✅ The Walk Your Plans Solution

In just one hour, we walked them through their full-scale floor plans at our St. Louis facility. As they moved through their future home, several things became clear:

  • A hallway felt narrower than expected

  • A closet layout didn’t allow for practical shelving

  • A window placement conflicted with future furniture

  • Bathroom door swings needed to be flipped for better flow

In total, 8 layout changes were identified and adjusted on the spot.

📊 The Results

Despite being late in the game, this walkthrough gave the homeowner a chance to course-correct before framing began. The changes:

  • Prevented costly framing tear-outs

  • Saved an estimated $20,000 in change orders

  • Eliminated second-guessing and “we should’ve…” regrets

  • Gave the homeowner peace of mind to move forward confidently

💬 Client Testimonial

— Homeowner, Jessa
