  Love it or list it? Move or improve? Renovate or relocate? This is the conundrum faced by hundreds of thousands of homeowners. Getting a quick and cost-effective vision of how you might be able to reconfigure or extend your home within your budget has historically been a time-consuming and expensive process that has involved hiring an architect to come and survey your home and then provide technical drawings of what you can achieve. Peek Home has disrupted this market by providing professionally designed sketch plans at the click of a button, delivered in days and for a fraction of the price of a traditional architect… about one-tenth of the price in fact.
