The problem
Building Information Modeling is one of the best ways to plan a renovation, saving serious time and money by mapping a project before the first wall comes down. But BIM tools were built for large enterprise construction, which makes them powerful, expensive, and far too complex for a homeowner trying to redo a kitchen or a bathroom. The people who renovate most often have the least access to the technology that would actually help them.
What we did
PocketBIM brings BIM to the DIY market. Templates generate a standardised project plan you can modify to fit your own renovation, a built-in toolbox handles capture and on-site measurement using the phone already in your pocket, and simple cloud tools make managing the whole job, the tasks, timelines, and details, something anyone can do without training. It is the professional approach to planning, stripped down to exactly what a homeowner needs.
The market
An $80 billion home-renovation market, with millions of DIY projects every year and almost no software built for the people actually doing them.
