About Walk Thru Plans

Walk Thru Plans - Greater Boston recently opened a 5,000 SF studio in Plymouth, MA equipped with commercial LED projection technology that displays floor plans, blueprints, and architectural renderings at true-to-scale (1:1), allowing architects, builders, and designers to walk clients through a design before construction begins.

The studio can project dynamic floor plans up to 42' x 70' and wall elevations up to 20' x 30' using moveable props and furnishings to help clients visualize and experience their designs before construction starts. Whether it’s a floor plan, architectural rendering, kitchen elevation, or landscape/hardscape design, Walk Thru Plans can display it full-scale in high-definition.

This immersive experience helps:

• Streamline the design review process
• Identify and resolve issues early
• Reduce costly revisions and change orders
• Save valuable time for both professionals and clients
