Innovations in Tempe are changing the game for both prospective homeowners and businesses looking to renovate existing structures. True Size Plans, a company based in Tempe, has introduced an immersive way for individuals to engage with their blueprints, providing a true-to-life experience that could revolutionize design and construction processes. "If you want to see your floor plan in full-sized scale, you're going to send us a PDF format version of it, and we're actually able to blow it up and be within a couple inches of real life-size scale, and you can walk it room to room," Trent Powell, co-owner of True Size Plans, told FOX 10 Phoenix. The company, which made its debut last June, offers a vast 4,300-square-foot floor for clients to virtually walk through their plans and preview furniture layouts and even wall projections of the interior design.

Meanwhile, Tempe continues to support developments with its Building Development Plan Review (BDPR), a process focused on refinement and upgrade proposals for existing buildings. True Size Plans appears to offer an innovative solution that goes a step beyond by allowing for pre-construction walk-throughs for new builds. However, BDPR's streamlined permit application process specifically targets projects like tenant improvements and minor exterior modifications, as stated in the Tempe government's guide to eligible projects. Those interested in BDPR can now submit applications through the Citizen Access Portal, simplifying the review process for improvements ranging from parking lot enhancements to wireless antenna modifications.

The problem-solving aspect of True Size Plans indeed stands out, with Powell noting that the average individual, when building, makes "five to seven changes, which can cost thousands of dollars," as reported by FOX 10 Phoenix. This technology allows individuals to preemptively make informed decisions on their construction and renovation projects, potentially saving substantial amounts of money prior to breaking ground. True Size Plans also extends its services to a plethora of project types, including commercial spaces, landscaping, and pool designs, emphasizing the versatility and broad applicability of the service for various types of development.

The cohesion between entities like True Size Plans and BDPR seems inadvertent yet serendipitous, with one facilitating the virtual exploration of future spaces and the other smoothing out the procedural pathway for bringing those plans to reality in existing infrastructure. By recognizing potential synergy, residents and business owners in Tempe may find themselves better equipped to navigate the often complex journey from concept to completion with less financial strain and a clearer vision.
