How HIPOD makes a home

Behind every HIPOD home: four sprints, one orchestrator.

The orchestration map

Four sprints, running with sign-offs you control.

Living layersRunning in parallel from Sprint 2. Lighting · Soft furnishings · Equipment · Upholstery

Sprints overlap where they make sense. Brand engineering for the kitchen can begin while we're still in 3D for the bedroom. We don't make you wait for the slowest room.

Sprint 1 · 2D layout

Your home, on paper, exactly to scale.

2–3 weeks · 2–3 sprint cycles · ends with approved AutoCAD plan

Your designer measures your home, listens to how you live, and produces a true-to-scale 2D plan in AutoCAD. Furniture placement, circulation paths, sightlines, storage volume, plug points, plumbing constraints. Every dimension on the plan is real, not aspirational.

We sprint. You see the plan within the first week. You mark it up. We revise. The cycle continues until you've signed off. Usually two or three rounds, sometimes one, occasionally five. We don't move to Sprint 2 until you have.

Sprint 2 · 3D detailing

Your home, in three dimensions, room by room.

2–4 weeks · category-by-category · ends with approved 3D renders

Once the 2D is locked, we start building your home in 3D. But not all at once. We sprint room by room, category by category. Kitchen first, then wardrobes, then living, then bedrooms. Each room gets its own approval before we move to the next.

This means you see (and approve) your kitchen before you've committed to your wardrobe. Your wardrobe before you've committed to your living room. Each decision is its own decision, with its own sign-off.

Sprint 3 · Brand engineering

Where design becomes engineering.

2–3 weeks · brand-led · ends with production-ready cut drawings

Once 3D is approved, the brands take over the engineering. SLEEK's team produces the production cut drawings for the kitchen. Hettich engineers the hardware specifications. Godrej runs the wardrobe internals through their proprietary detailing software. IKEA confirms the modular fit and tolerances.

This is the stage that separates HIPOD from a designer-with-vendors model. Your home isn't being assembled from generic parts. It's being engineered by the brand that will eventually deliver it. Every cut, every hinge, every panel, sized and specified by the people who'll cut, hinge, and panel it.

The brands then produce the modules in their factories. Manufacturing happens at scale, with quality control at the source. Not on your floor.

Sprint 4 · Factory to site

From factory floor to your floor.

4–8 weeks · brand-installed · ends with snag-cleared handover

The modules ship from each brand's factory directly to your home. SLEEK's installation team handles the kitchen. Godrej's team handles the wardrobes. IKEA's team handles the storage and accents. Each brand owns their installation, end-to-end.

HIPOD's project lead is on site for the major installation milestones, orchestrates cross-brand dependencies, and runs the snag list. You get weekly photo updates throughout. The brands don't hand off to a third party. They install what they manufactured.

The parallel track · Living layers

And alongside, the layers that make a house your home.

Lighting plans built from real lumen calculations, not catalogues. Soft furnishings (sofas, rugs, curtains) sized and styled to the rooms we've designed. Equipment selection (appliances, electronics, gym equipment) speced to the spaces. Upholstery, art placement, and the small stuff that takes a finished home from "done" to "yours."

We start these from Sprint 2, in parallel. Because a home isn't just its built-in modules. It's everything you live with.

Real HIPOD homes typically run 16–20 weeks from order to handover. Smaller homes finish faster. Larger homes take longer. We give you a project-specific schedule at the end of Sprint 1. Based on your actual rooms, not an industry average.

That's how HIPOD makes a home.

You get a single partner orchestrating it all. Four sprints with sign-offs you control. Real AutoCAD plans, real brand engineering, real factory-installed modules. Living layers running in parallel. And a single point of accountability from your first brief to the day you walk in.
