Compass — a NorthStar planning tool

A budgetary picture, before the blueprints are dry.

Fifteen minutes of conversation about how you live, in exchange for a room-by-room view of what the technology in your home could cost — with the scope on a slider you control.

15 minutes to walk through how you'll live in your home — no spec sheets required.

Room by room scope you can adjust on a slider, with the price moving in real time.

Two decades of NorthStar designing integrated homes around the upper Midwest.
