When to talk to professionals (and what to ask)

First-timers often either wait too long or hire everyone at once. Homehint pushes a middle path: surface the conversation when your facts suggest it’s time, then help you prepare the message.

Ecology and ground information are classic long-lead items. Neighbour processes depend on shared or nearby buildings. Warranty and site insurance belong in design conversations, not only at the end.

People in the app is for the professionals you already trust. Find help is there when you need someone new — with sponsorship clearly labelled.

On Pro, use Ask to rehearse questions against your loaded project. Then send the real conversation to a human who can visit the site, open drawings and take responsibility.

That hand-off is the product working: a guide that organises the journey, and professionals who own the decisions.
