Icovia User Story - Stan

I recently had an interesting conversation with a gentleman who had a great experience with Icovia. Stan had decided to build a custom shed. He wanted to build a shed that was big and stylish. Stan had a general design concept in mind, but needed to put in on paper to finalize the plan and get town approval. He also needed to get some details down for the purpose of obtaining materials.

After conducting a diligent search for a design product that would be easy to learn and afford, a friend pointed Stan to Icovia. Assured that he could use it without any painful learning curve, the price sealed the deal. Stan admits, “I’m no computer guru, but I can usually figure out how to use a program that’s designed well.” Within minutes of creating an Icovia account, Stan was on a roll.

“As soon as I started designing my shed, I couldn’t stop. I tried a few different designs and settled on a winner in an hour or two.” But the benefits of Icovia didn’t stop there for Stan. He was just on his way out the door with his briefcase to fly out on a business trip.

Shortly after boarding the plane, Stan quickly got into a lively conversation with the person seated next to him. His new-found traveling companion would occasionally tap the keys of his laptop computer while they were talking. By the time they landed for a stop-over, Stan had filled him in on his shed project and offered to show him the design on his laptop computer. Because Icovia is an Internet browse away, Stan was able to log into his Icovia account and present his shed plan.

As luck would have it, he was presenting his plan to a hardware salesman who quickly pitched the idea for a much wider door which could slide, rather than hinge. “I emailed the new plan idea to my wife as soon as I got to my hotel,” boasted Stan. He went on to state that the professional looking printout made a nice presentation to the planning board too!

Stan’s next Icovia project is to draw his entire home. “It will come in handy when developing future structural or room-design changes.”

Thanks for sharing your story, Stan! So what’s your story?

Something like this actually happened to me just the other day! I was working on planning a room when one of my friends called me and I mentioned what I was doing. He loaded up the Room Planner on his own computer and was positively THRILLED. He isn't a professional designer, but he's been trying to plan out a few of his rooms and thought this tool looked perfect for him (because it's so gosh darn easy to use). Just goes to show how versatile this program is! :)
