ChatGPT suits this use case when you want the render packaged with a clear renovation scope and rough cost estimate — something you can share with an estate agent or use to brief a decorator.

Steps

Once connected (see setup above), use the Room Renovator tool:

  1. Provide the living room photo, the expected sale price, and any budget constraints.
  2. Run `renovate` via room-renovator to generate the pre-sale refresh render.
  3. Ask ChatGPT to write a renovation scope with a rough cost estimate for the changes shown.
  4. Package the render and scope as a document to share with your estate agent or decorator.

Example Prompt

Try this with ChatGPT using the Room Renovator tool
Use room-renovator to show this living room after a pre-sale refresh with neutral walls, pale wood flooring, and updated fireplace tiles. Return the render and write a renovation scope with a rough cost estimate so I can decide whether to go ahead before listing.

Tips

  • Pair the render with a cost estimate so the decision is based on concrete information, not guesswork.
  • Ask for the scope in trade terms — hours, materials, trade type — so you can get accurate quotes.
  • Share the render with your estate agent for their view on whether the changes will improve the sale price.
