LeafcutterThe charette,
on the first call.
Scope a project live on the first call — lot, plan, massing, and budget — before anyone commits to a full design.
Run the first call as a working session.
Bring the homebuyer into Leafcutter on the first call. Scope the project, kill dead-ends, and walk out with a clear yes or no — before drawings begin.
Open the call inside Leafcutter
Bring the client in on the first call. Trace the lot, sketch massing, place the program — together, in real time. Ideation happens out loud, not in a quote.
Iterate before you commit
Try three directions in an hour. The client sees their home take shape and signals what they actually want, before you commit a studio week to drawings.
Takeoffs as you draw
Every change shows an instant price estimate. Important decisions — square footage, structure, finishes — get made up front, against real numbers.
Real-time feasibility.
- Takeoffs give an instant price estimate as you draw — no waiting for a cost consultant.
- Surface the budget conversation up front to reduce sticker shock and late-stage dropoff.
- Iterate three directions in an hour — find the fit before you commit a studio week.
- Use it for lead vetting: bad-fit projects exit before they consume your calendar.
- Shared project with the client — everything you scoped on the call stays in one place.
