Estimates for a small start in Canada, not guarantees.
What it is
You review floor plans, compass direction and photos sent by clients, then explain in a report and video call how the layout fits Vastu principles and what simple adjustments they could make.
Your first three steps
- Set out your services and fixed prices, and make a sample report using an anonymised floor plan
- Build a simple website or social media page and list it where local community groups and temples share news
- Offer a few discounted reviews to people you know and ask permission to quote their feedback
Who pays
Homebuyers, renovators and renters in Canada's South Asian communities, plus family members abroad who are planning a property purchase.
How it makes money
Fixed fee per floor plan review or per report, with extra for follow-up calls or a second property. Some consultants offer a package for new-home buyers.
Skills that help
- Solid training in Vastu Shastra
- Reading floor plans and site plans
- Clear, respectful communication
- Report writing
Watch out for
- Vastu is a traditional belief system, so be honest and never promise health, wealth or other guaranteed results
- Don't give structural, building code or legal advice, and refer clients to a licensed architect, engineer or contractor for those
- Check whether professional liability (errors and omissions) insurance suits your work
- Check your provincial rules on registering a business name and when to register for GST/HST
- Be careful with the word 'architect' or 'engineer' in your marketing, as these titles are protected in provinces
