What it is

In-person Vastu consultations at clients' homes or building sites. You check room use, entrances and orientation with a compass and plans, then give a written summary and practical suggestions.

Your first three steps

  1. Price a home visit package including travel, and a lower-priced plan review for builders
  2. Buy a good compass, laser measure and a simple report template, then practise on friends' and family homes
  3. Contact local temples, community centres and small builders or estate agents to introduce your service
Who pays

Homeowners, buyers choosing between properties, landlords, and small builders or developers who want layout advice before or during a project.

How it makes money

Fixed fee per visit and report, with higher fees for larger properties or new-build plan reviews. Travel can be charged separately.
