Set the scope
The facade, the roof, one room or the whole home. Plumbing, electrics, finishes. Pick what changes.
Extend or demolish
Add an extension or a new storey, convert the loft, take out a wall or move windows. Every change is drawn on the plan.

Lynx compares the two states line by line
It works out what must be demolished and what gets built new, estimates the waste, and says whether you need planning permission or can build under permitted development, and whether you need a structural engineer.
See exactly what stays, what goes and what is new
Before-and-after plans and a colour-coded 3D view show exactly what stays, what goes and what is new, so you can decide with the full picture in front of you.
One price, up to three projects
