Bug fix: Archie finishes what it starts
When you asked Archie in PLACE Build to do something, such as plant trees, it did it and then said “Bad request” instead of explaining. Now Archie finishes the job and tells you what it did.
Bug fix · 7 Nov 2026Bug fix: Archie's replies show on phones
On a phone, Archie's answers had no room in the panel, so you couldn't read them. The suggestions now sit in one scrolling row and the answer has the space.
Bug fix · 7 Nov 2026Bug fix: “Add your model” fits on phones
On a phone, the Archie helper covered step 1 and pushed the Hide, Ask, Back and Next buttons off the screen. The panel now fits, with every button showing.
Bug fix · 7 Nov 2026Improvement: a panel that folds away on phones
On a phone, swipe the grey bar on the PLACE Build panel down, or tap it, to fold the panel to a thin strip and see more of the home. Swipe up or tap again to bring it back.
Improvement · 6 Nov 2026Bug fix: finishes stay put
In PLACE Build, a finish you tap (a wall cladding, say) now stays when you move on to Floors or another part. Before, it went back to the old one unless you pressed Apply. Cancel, Esc and Undo still take it back.
Bug fix · 6 Nov 2026People for scale
In PLACE Build, place people on the block, on the deck or inside on any floor, to see how big rooms and paths really are. Change their colours for one person or everyone. For scale only: they don’t change your design.

Try it on a real block: NSW, in beta
Live now in PLACE Build, in beta. Type an NSW address and see the real block in 3D on the aerial photo, with true north and the sun, and the neighbouring buildings around it. The home you pick is placed facing the street; drag and turn it. You get the usual setbacks and a Fits, Tight or Check with council guide, plus zoning, heritage, flood and bush fire flags. Indicative only, not a survey or planning approval. Other states to follow.

What we're working on now.
Photo-real finishes and natural light
Finishes in PLACE Build become photo-scanned materials, so timber grain, tile glaze and brushed metal look real up close. Homes are lit by a real sky, so glass, metal roofs and polished floors reflect their setting. Tuned to run smoothly on phones.
Everyone using PLACE BuildPLACE Teams
Work on one company account with your team, each with your own sign-in. Share draft homes, renders and scenes privately before you publish, and talk them through in a team chat on each home, with Archie in the conversation.
Builders, manufacturers and designersOne design, many factories
Like a pattern book: a design can be offered by several modular manufacturers, so buyers can ask the factories that build it, near them, for a quote.
Designers, manufacturers and buyersFinishes from your catalogue
Upload a brochure or inclusions list and Archie sets up your finishes, standard and upgrades.
Modular manufacturersA page for every home
