Estimates for a small start in Australia, not guarantees.

What it is

In-person Vastu assessments. You visit a home, block of land or business premises, check directions and layout, and give a written report. You can also advise builders and designers early in a project on orientation and room placement.

Your first three steps

  1. Choose your service area, set fees for a home visit and a plan review, and prepare a sample report
  2. Get a good compass or phone app, a laser measure and a simple report template, and arrange insurance
  3. 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.
