TradePoint has launched a new online design platform, Tradepoint Spaces, which will enable tradesmen to show clients an exact visual of how their finished project could look in a 3D rendered view.
The new tool will be available to tradesmen for free and can be accessed from store and home.

According to Tradepoint, customers can spend an average of two hours designing a kitchen but the new online tool will allow tradesmen to create a design for their client within minutes.

A built-in messaging system enables them to stay in contact during a project and means the client can share the design with their friends and family for added input. Clients can change the colour, shape and layout of their room design then share their updated design with the tradesman. Or, if a client needs a product replaced at a later date, tradesmen can log into TradePoint Spaces and find the exact product required for the job.

The new design tool also offers a dual quote feature. Each project generates a full, itemised parts list and throughout the design process TradePoint Spaces will calculate the price in real time.

The tool has been designed in collaboration with 2020 Technologies, a specialist interior design software company.

Tradepoint director Mark Cooke said of the launch: "Spaces is an exciting new development in design and offers some real benefits for tradesmen. Only through Tradepoint Spaces can tradesmen offer clients a complete kitchen design in minutes, as well as allowing them to be flexible to change layouts and designs to suit client's desires."

Spaces has been fully rolled out at TradePoint outlets across the country is already available for members to sign up and use.
