    Thanks for all the help getting us started, I love the product! It's changed our remodelling workflows in just the first few weeks.

    By using my iGUIDE I don't have to worry if a draftsman can show up to measure or is sick and can't draft the plans. With the iGUIDE, I can take my photos, easily upload to the website and very quickly get the 3D tour and CAD file. The quick turnaround allows me to move fast and design quicker than before. I have gotten plans back to clients in days, not weeks!

    Whether it be with the contractors, architects or developers, using iGUIDE made it easy for everybody to understand the project. With the online floorplan, virtual tour and CAD, it’s easier to stay on the same page. iGUIDE is a game-changer for me.
