- Get a good compass or phone app, a laser measure and a simple report template, and arrange insurance
- Introduce yourself to local builders, designers and real estate agents who work with your community and offer a trial review
Who pays
Families buying or building a home, landlords and owners of shops or offices, and small builders or developers who serve clients who ask for Vastu-friendly layouts.
How it makes money
Fixed fee per site visit and report, with higher fees for new-build plan reviews and ongoing advice agreed with builders.
