Define home requirements and estimate costs

A planning assistant captures home requirements, calculates an indicative area and cost structure, and prepares a brief for further architectural planning. In practical terms, it handles these core tasks: Captures room programmes and room counts; Accounts for building type, number of storeys, and specification level; Estimates an indicative total floor area. The result is a faster, more transparent, and more reliable process.
