What is a 1:1 Walkthrough?

1:1 walkthrough is an immersive, life-sized projection of your floor plans. Instead of looking at 2D drawings or digital renderings on a computer or piece of paper, you can physically walk through your home or project at true scale to experience room sizes, layout flow, and design choices before construction begins

Why should I walk through my plans before building?

Because mistakes on paper become expensive in real life. A walkthrough helps you:

  • Identify layout issues before construction starts
     

  • Avoid costly change orders
     

  • Confirm that your design flows as expected
     

  • Make confident design decisions with your builder or architect

How does the process work?

  1. Book your walkthrough appointment online or by phone
     

  2. Upload your floor plan files (PDF, CAD, or digital drawings)
     

  3. Visit our Des Moines studio to walk through your plans in full scale
     

  4. Make adjustments in real time with your team

Who should come to the walkthrough?

We encourage you to bring anyone involved in the project—homeowners, architects, builders, designers, or family members. This way, everyone is aligned before construction begins.

How long does a walkthrough take?

Most walkthroughs last 1–2 hours, depending on the size of the floor plan and the level of detail. Larger or more complex projects may require additional time.

How much does it cost?

Pricing depends on the size of your plans and the session length. Contact us for a quick quote—we’re typically a fraction of the cost of one change order during construction.

What types of projects can use a walkthrough?

We serve a wide range of clients, including:

  • Residential homeowners designing new builds or remodels

  • Builders & architects presenting to clients

  • Commercial projects (medical, office, retail, and more)

What do I need to bring?

Just your digital floor plans. We’ll take care of the rest. If you’re unsure what file formats we can use, our team will guide you.

How is this different from VR?

Virtual reality lets one person see your space at a time. 1:1 Walkthrough lets you physically experience it. You can walk hallways, stand in kitchens, and feel room sizes in a way no headset can replicate in a collaborative environment unlike any other.
