How it works

A simple loop for real home projects

Homehint turns plain facts about your build into a calm, personalised next step — so you always know what to do now.

The core loop

  1. 01

    Tell us about your project

    A short setup: what you’re changing, where you are in the journey, and a few simple facts. “Not sure” is fine — you’ll still get a useful starting point.

  2. 02

    See what applies to you

    Your profile unlocks the right discoveries — ecology, neighbours, ground, warranty and more — tailored to this build.

  3. 03

    Understand why it matters

    Every action explains why it’s shown, what to save, and who typically owns the conversation — so you walk into meetings prepared.

  4. 04

    Take one useful step

    Today focuses on the next action. Prepare a message, record an outcome, update money, or open Ask on Pro.

  5. 05

    Pick up where you left off

    Decisions, notes, costs and files stay with your account and project — ready on any device.
