From Confident to Certain — A Renovation Saved in One Walkthrough

How a Full-Scale Walkthrough Prevented Expensive Regret in a Major Home Renovation

👨‍👩‍👦 Homeowner Overview

This couple was in the middle of planning a significant home renovation. They felt confident in their floor plans — everything looked right on paper and screen. But before construction began, they took one final step: walking their plans at full scale with Walk Your Plans.

​

❗ The Challenge

Even well-designed plans can hide critical details when viewed only on paper or a monitor. In this case, the homeowners were headed toward a six-figure renovation with several blind spots:

• Kitchen island sizing and clearances

• Wall proximity and room flow

• Sightlines to key windows

• Overall spatial feel of each living area
   

These subtle issues wouldn’t have been apparent until drywall was up — and by then, changing them would have been costly, disruptive, and emotionally draining.

​

✅ The Walk Your Plans Solution

Walking their renovation plans at full scale immediately revealed the problems.

• The kitchen island was too large for comfortable circulation

• Certain walls closed off key lines of sight

• Room proportions felt tighter than expected

• The overall layout lacked the openness they imagined
   

With expert guidance during their session, they identified precise adjustments and took those changes back to their architect — before any construction began.

​

📊 The Results

This walkthrough helped them avoid costly, life-altering mistakes:

• Prevented design flaws that would have cost hundreds of thousands to live with or fix

• Gave complete clarity and peace of mind

• Equipped their architect with actionable changes backed by full-scale experience

• Transformed a good plan into one they were now certain about
