A Vastu review starts from your plan. A clear plan with dimensions, room names and a north marker lets the consultant read the layout accurately, and makes the written summary specific to your property.
Preparing the floor plan
- Use a scaled plan if one exists, in PDF or image form
- If not, draw a clear sketch with approximate room sizes
- Mark north. If you are unsure, note the direction the main door faces
- Label every room by its use, including balconies and utility spaces
- Show doors, windows, staircases and the position of the kitchen and toilets
- For multi-storey homes, include every floor
Photographs and location
Photographs of the entrance and of each room help when the plan is incomplete. Share the address or a location pin so the surroundings and road position can be considered.
What the written summary contains
- Context: the property, the plan used and the assumptions made
- Observations against traditional Vastu principles, marked on the plan
- Priorities: what matters most, and what is minor
- Practical options, with non-structural choices first
- Limits: what the review does not cover, and where an architect, engineer or lawyer should confirm
How priorities are set
Not every observation carries the same weight. The summary orders them so you can act on the few that matter first, and leave the rest if the cost or disruption is not worth it.
After the review
Use the summary as a brief for your architect or designer. Questions that arise afterwards can be taken up with the consultant.
