Selective English Edition
Before you sign, figure out what you actually want.
I've spent 16 years on renovation sites and in mattress showrooms. Most problems I've seen weren't construction mistakes. They were decisions made before anyone asked the right questions. This site is where I help you ask them.
What this site checks first
Built from 16 years on real renovation sites. AI can help organize questions, but the real work is judgment: what life the space should support, what the quote includes, and what must be written down before anyone picks up a hammer.
Judgment Assets
Not a renovation encyclopedia. More like a decision system for a home that has to be lived in.
The Chinese site contains the full toolset and data library. This English edition is intentionally selective: fewer pages, cleaner wording, and no machine-translation fog. It explains the system without pretending every local detail travels perfectly across languages.
Living Diagnosis
Start from how the home will be lived in: family rhythm, storage, chores, solitude, guests, aesthetics, and budget tradeoffs.

The Mattress Industry Uses the Same Pricing Tricks as Renovation
After 16 years in renovation and years selling mattresses, I can tell you: both industries play the exact same games. Vague quotes, step-up selling, optional features shown as standard.
A 10-Minute Store Trial and a Full Night's Sleep Are Two Different Worlds
You lie down for 10 minutes in a showroom and think "this feels good." A month later, your back hurts every morning. Your body can't judge a mattress in 10 minutes.
