- Worth noticing
- The page says its first models caught a stair with two riser counts and a window shown at two sizes.
Field notes
The stated workflow starts with a PDF drawing set and a check of what the service can build; if sheets conflict, the page says it asks the customer before proceeding. Models are described as being set on the building’s real street, with package options ranging from an exterior view to room-by-room interiors, measuring, and finish changes. The listed estimates run from about three working days for a street model to about a week for a walk-through.
