What happens in a two-hour session

It's a way to check a floor plan by walking it. Your plan is shown at full size (1:1 scale) on a walkable floor, so you can stand in each room and see how big it really is before anything is built. It's also called a full-scale floor plan, a walkable floor plan, or floor plan projection. In Calgary, the 1to1 Plans studio shows plans on an LED floor.

Your floor plan is shown at full size on the studio's walkable LED floor, room by room, and the elevations go up on a wall-size screen. You walk through the house, move studio walls and furniture into place, and change the layout on the spot. You leave with a recording of the session.

A standard session is two hours. If you want to see the studio first, there is also a 60-minute demo.

Your floor plans as a PDF or a CAD file (DWG), at least three days before your session, to calgary@1to1plans.com. Elevations help too, because they go on the wall-size screen.

Anyone you are making decisions with: your partner, family, builder, designer or architect. Guests are welcome, and Calgary builders and designers bring their clients here too.

Yes. Changes are made on the spot, so you can compare a wider hallway or a moved wall while you are standing in it. Your designer then updates the official drawings.

Yes. Every session is recorded, and the recording is yours to watch again and share with your builder or designer.

Very large plans don't fit on the floor all at once. They are walked a floor or a wing at a time, which still lets you check every room at its real size.

Freestanding walls you can move, sofas, a dining table, chairs, a coffee table and a bathtub on wheels. They let you test real clearances instead of guessing.
