Create your first project

A project is where one job lives — walls, fixtures, openings, dimensions, and any extra rooms that belong to the same scope. Make a new project whenever you start a new bathroom reno, basement layout, kitchen, or whole-home plan.

Before you start

The first time you open VisionPlan, you pick Customer or Contractor on the mode selection screen. Pick whichever fits how you'll use the app — you can change it later. See Customer vs Contractor mode for the difference.

Steps

1. Open the project list. This is the screen you land on after the mode selection screen, and you can return to it any time from the editor app bar.
2. Tap New Project. On every screen size this is the + New Project pill button in the bottom right of the project list. On desktop, the empty-state card also shows a New Project button when you don't have any projects yet.
3. Fill in the Project Name — for example, Smith bathroom reno or 123 Oak St basement.
4. Fill in the Customer Name — the homeowner's name on a contractor job, or your own name when you're laying out your own space.
5. Pick a Job Type from the list (General Reno, Kitchen Reno, Bathroom Reno, Basement Reno, Flooring, New Build, Addition, Commercial, or Other).
6. Tap Create. The project opens straight into the editor with a single empty room ready for walls.

Tips

• If you're signed in to the Construction Network as a contractor, your phone and email pre-fill from your network profile — no retyping per job.
• Every project starts with one room called Room 1. Rename it from the rooms bar below the app bar. Add more rooms for multi-room scopes like a whole home or a reno that spans two spaces.
• Projects autosave as you work, so there's no "save and close" step. Close the tab when you're done and the project will be waiting in the list next time.
