We are an early-stage, VC-backed startup using AI, data-driven development, and the latest in spatial technology to simplify the renovation process and democratize access to elevated designs for the everyday homeowner. Skipp’s technology can generate real-time pricing, architect-grade documentation, visualizations, and material schedules. With our approach, homeowners can not only access world-class designs for their actual space immediately, but can also efficiently manage their budget and have all the documentation needed for a streamlined RFP and construction process.
