Measure your home with confidence
DwellReady shows you exactly what to measure, where to place the tape, and how to keep those measurements organized with your home projects — a permanent part of your Home Readiness Record.
Shows you exactly what to measure
Where to place the tape, what counts as the narrowest point, and why each measurement is worth writing down.
Every value becomes history
Measure again later and both values are kept — "before the project: 29 1/2 in, after: 32 in" — with the date each was recorded.
Connected to your projects
Measurements link to the Action Plan projects they relate to, so the number is where the work is.
Included in contractor packets
Project packets list your recorded measurements — clearly labeled as homeowner observations for planning, to be independently verified.
Documented with photos and notes
Attach a reference photo and a note, and record how the measurement was obtained — measured by you, by someone helping, or provided by a professional.
Reused at reassessment
During a later walkthrough, your last recorded value appears with a choice: confirm it's still accurate, measure again, or skip.
Try a sample measurement
See how the coach walks you through a real measurement — what to measure, why it matters, how to do it, and how DwellReady keeps it useful.
Try a sample measurement: doorway clear opening
A fictional example, running entirely in your browser — nothing is saved and no account is needed.
The clear, usable opening of a doorway — the space you actually move through when the door is open.
- 1Open the door fully.
- 2Find the narrowest usable opening — usually between the open door and the frame on the latch side.
- 3Measure straight across, from the face of the open door to the door stop on the opposite side, at that narrowest point.
Top-down view of an open door. The tape measure runs horizontally from the face of the open door to the door stop on the far side of the frame, at the narrowest point of the opening.
Fractions are welcome — 29 1/2, 29-1/2, and 29.5 all work.
DwellReady records observations for planning and professional discussion. Final scope, code requirements, and field verification remain the responsibility of qualified professionals.
