In their own words

"MyVirtualHome is an Australian-based company which provides a robust software package that allows you to create 3D models of your still-to-be-built home or of a renovation that you are contemplating. The software has been specifically designed over the last few years to be simple enough for anyone to use. Along with providing near photorealistic 3D software you can even search through real products, see how they will look in your home and then locate the best tradesperson or consultant via their revolutionary search engine. Once you’ve finished your design, you can share it with the businesses you’ll be working with or just your friends, all in 3D."

	Why it might be a killer

MyVirtualHome is an Australian company dedicated to bringing efficiency to home development, renovation and maintenance through revolutionary design software and a comprehensive set of web resources for home owners, manufacturers, suppliers, trades people and consultants.

	Some questions

With a few modifications to their search functionality, there is no reason why MyvirtualHome couldn’t be a big success outside of Australia as well as within it. Although the current housing crisis in the US has put a damper on new construction, this can’t be expected to last forever. This software could be an ideal tool for agents looking to sell still-unbuilt homes and for contractors to make dynamic proposals.

Will this concept be able to spread past Australia and New Zealand?
