Currently 47% of Britons plan to complete DIY home improvements within the next 12 months. Although home improvements can come in
various different forms, 65% of those planning to complete home improvements were intending to either paint, wallpaper or plaster walls. This
therefore makes a prime user journey to explore.
In the instance of re-painting a room one of the largest and most immediate problems customers run into is envisaging what their room will
look like upon completing their decoration. Customers currently head to a local department store and purchase a number of small sample
paint pots or pickup a color wheel. After making the purchase, which for high end paints can be considerably pricey, the customer will paint a
small area and then try to imagine what the room would look like on a larger scale.
Another major flaw in the existing user journey is the inability for individuals to gauge how long a job will take and the steps involved in
completing it. This therefore contributes significantly to the fact 38% of individuals who undertake a DIY project fail to complete it.
Furthermore, this lack of consumer knowledge regularly leads to customers purchasing an excessive amount of materials. This not only comes
at a financial cost to the consumer but also contributes to the 100million tonnes of construction waste produced in the UK each year.
A substantially growing trend within the consumer market is the increasing demand for environmentally green products. In fact, 72% of Britons
were willing to pay more for products that were environmentally sustainable. However, it is currently a tricky process to establish which brands
are truly providing eco-friendly products.
THE ISSUE
4
WIDER JOURNEY
For more complex DIY projects, for example the completion
of an extension there are still an number of pain points for
consumers. Firstly, it is still hard to envisage what a room
would look like if specific walls were knocked down to open
up space or an extension was to be added on. This often leads
customers paying substantial sums to architects for drawings
and representations of their completed project.
Another major issue arises when projects that were initially
intended to be a simple DIY project grow and become
unmanageable without professional help. Often when builders
are employed to complete work there can be a considerable
amount of miscommunication; not only delaying completion
but also incurring unnecessary costs.

USER VALIDATION
Knowingtheexpecteddurationoftaskswas
a common desire among our interviewees.
Many had previously attempted home
improvements projects only to discover
they had greatly underestimated the
time investment required. This followed
a similar theme of wanting to know how
much paint a wall would require. A key pain
point that had left many frustrated was
either overspending or successive trips
to their local DIY store in relation to this.
People wanted room personalisation
during the onboarding process, while
they enjoyed the concept of being free to
explore different interior designs they did
still require further guidance. Could the
app take into account their lifestyle? The
tone they wanted for the room? Whether
they have young children or not? White
walls would not necessarily be ideal for
those with young children, rather they
would be suited to someone who wanted
a room that felt like a large open space
A major gain for users was that they
could experience their new home before
making it a reality. They liked the idea of
being able to physically walk through their
home and see the overlay of the designs,
and feel the flow between the rooms.
It would not be sufficient to redesign a
room in isolation but think about how it
fits into their home. When two people
are living in the same space they need
to agree on home projects, by having a
transparent way to share their hopes and
ideas, it aids in reaching compromises.
“How long is the painting
going to take?”
“How is this personal to
me?”
“I like the fact that I get to
have a feel of the space.”

LAUNCH STRATEGY
It would be mutually beneficial for Estate
Agents to promote Arch360. They can utilize
it to enable viewers to remotely narrow down
which homes they want to visit for further ex-
ploration. Furthermore, once in the homes,
viewers can use the app to virtually redecorate
the home pre-purchase, enabling them to see
the houses’ full potential. Then with them al-
ready familiar with the apps functionality they
could use it again for renovation post purchase.
This is a key market to capture, in England
homebuyers on average spend £10,000 doing
up their homes in the first year post purchase.
There are 679,000 owner-occupier moves
happening every year, putting the first-year
home makeover market worth at £6.8 billion.
We plan to display an exhibit at the Ide-
al Homes Show. It is the leading home in-
terest exhibition in the UK, in 2015 it re-
ceived 265,000 visitors over the 18 day
exhibition. Through this we could direct-
ly target an audience who are committed
to dedicating time and finances to home
improvement. Members of the audience
could try the app out for themselves dec-
orating and renovating a virtual house.
Arch360 will partner with DIY stores such as
HomeBase and Wickes, where in return for
direct access to the people frequenting their
stores we will promote their products in our
materials/equipment section of the app.

THE FUTURE
Vision
The vision is for Arch360 to become
synonymous with home improvement. For
Arch360 to guide projects across the world
from design to completion, building more
beautiful, more environmentally friendly homes.
As Tango is increasingly integrated into
phones, everyone will have access to
their own portable 3D scanner capable of
generating and viewing ADFs. ADF will
become a new commonly used data type,
this will allow Arch360s continued expansion,
integration and use in multiple industries as
widespread communication becomes possible.
Arch360 can expand to form an online
platform, creating a community that connects
homeowners, designers and builders,
allowing them to communicate transparently
and effectively, sharing their expertise.
Feature Expansion
Being able to accurately walk through and
visualize spaces virtually will have many
uses, including filtering down the selection
of spaces without a physical visit being
required. For example, when deciding
if they want to undertake a construction
project, builders can receive 3D scans of the
prospective home to inform their decision.
Frictionless Landlord and Tennant
Communication
The continued rise of house prices has
presented a large barrier of entry to first time
home buyers, this has led to a dramatic rise in
renters over recent years. The number of rented
households doubled between 2001-2014 from
2.3 million to 5.4 million. This is predicted to rise
to 7.2 million by 2025, 25% of the UK households
in total, these will be most significantly
owned by the 20-39 bracket, ‘generation
rent’, more than half of whom that will rent.
A common pain point of renters is their need
to communicate with landlords, or in the
case of long term tenancy gain permission
to redecorate and personalize their space.
Arch360 can assist in this manner, creating
transparency between the parties involved.
It allows trustworthy comparison of the space
at the beginning and end of the tenancy, and
allow renters to quickly visualize their home
redesign plans to their landlords for approval.

  • 15. USER VALIDATION Knowingtheexpecteddurationoftaskswas a common desire among our interviewees. Many had previously attempted home improvements projects only to discover they had greatly underestimated the time investment required. This followed a similar theme of wanting to know how much paint a wall would require. A key pain point that had left many frustrated was either overspending or successive trips to their local DIY store in relation to this. People wanted room personalisation during the onboarding process, while they enjoyed the concept of being free to explore different interior designs they did still require further guidance. Could the app take into account their lifestyle? The tone they wanted for the room? Whether they have young children or not? White walls would not necessarily be ideal for those with young children, rather they would be suited to someone who wanted a room that felt like a large open space A major gain for users was that they could experience their new home before making it a reality. They liked the idea of being able to physically walk through their home and see the overlay of the designs, and feel the flow between the rooms. It would not be sufficient to redesign a room in isolation but think about how it fits into their home. When two people are living in the same space they need to agree on home projects, by having a transparent way to share their hopes and ideas, it aids in reaching compromises. “How long is the painting going to take?” “How is this personal to me?” “I like the fact that I get to have a feel of the space.” 15

  • 18. LAUNCH STRATEGY It would be mutually beneficial for Estate Agents to promote Arch360. They can utilize it to enable viewers to remotely narrow down which homes they want to visit for further ex- ploration. Furthermore, once in the homes, viewers can use the app to virtually redecorate the home pre-purchase, enabling them to see the houses’ full potential. Then with them al- ready familiar with the apps functionality they could use it again for renovation post purchase. This is a key market to capture, in England homebuyers on average spend £10,000 doing up their homes in the first year post purchase. There are 679,000 owner-occupier moves happening every year, putting the first-year home makeover market worth at £6.8 billion. We plan to display an exhibit at the Ide- al Homes Show. It is the leading home in- terest exhibition in the UK, in 2015 it re- ceived 265,000 visitors over the 18 day exhibition. Through this we could direct- ly target an audience who are committed to dedicating time and finances to home improvement. Members of the audience could try the app out for themselves dec- orating and renovating a virtual house. Arch360 will partner with DIY stores such as HomeBase and Wickes, where in return for direct access to the people frequenting their stores we will promote their products in our materials/equipment section of the app. Estate Agents Ideal Home Show Advertise through affiliate DIY partners 18
  • 19. THE FUTURE Vision The vision is for Arch360 to become synonymous with home improvement. For Arch360 to guide projects across the world from design to completion, building more beautiful, more environmentally friendly homes. As Tango is increasingly integrated into phones, everyone will have access to their own portable 3D scanner capable of generating and viewing ADFs. ADF will become a new commonly used data type, this will allow Arch360s continued expansion, integration and use in multiple industries as widespread communication becomes possible. Arch360 can expand to form an online platform, creating a community that connects homeowners, designers and builders, allowing them to communicate transparently and effectively, sharing their expertise. Feature Expansion Being able to accurately walk through and visualize spaces virtually will have many uses, including filtering down the selection of spaces without a physical visit being required. For example, when deciding if they want to undertake a construction project, builders can receive 3D scans of the prospective home to inform their decision. Frictionless Landlord and Tennant Communication The continued rise of house prices has presented a large barrier of entry to first time home buyers, this has led to a dramatic rise in renters over recent years. The number of rented households doubled between 2001-2014 from 2.3 million to 5.4 million. This is predicted to rise to 7.2 million by 2025, 25% of the UK households in total, these will be most significantly owned by the 20-39 bracket, ‘generation rent’, more than half of whom that will rent. A common pain point of renters is their need to communicate with landlords, or in the case of long term tenancy gain permission to redecorate and personalize their space. Arch360 can assist in this manner, creating transparency between the parties involved. It allows trustworthy comparison of the space at the beginning and end of the tenancy, and allow renters to quickly visualize their home redesign plans to their landlords for approval. 19
