Lynx Copilot by LynxCraft takes self-builders from plot to keys. Enter your plot and get an instant feasibility study: plot-compliant house designs, a detailed cost estimate and the house placed on your actual site. Lynx Architect then delivers concept design, planning permission and technical drawings, with commercial terms pre-agreed with vetted professionals. In execution, Lynx Copilot coordinates every stakeholder in one interface. Renovating or extending instead? Draw your existing home, plan the changes and get an itemised estimate with a construction timeline. Start for free.
The problem every self-builder meets
Self-building is one of the largest financial commitments most people make. It is also one of the most fragmented. Planning rules, plot constraints, design fees, build costs and contractor availability sit with different people and rarely line up. Most self-builders discover a constraint only once it has already cost them time or money.
What Lynx Copilot does
Lynx Copilot, built by LynxCraft, structures the self-build journey into clear stages and supports each decision with data rather than guesswork.
- Plot and planning checks – Lynx Copilot reads official spatial and planning data to show what can be built on a specific plot before you commit to a design.
- Realistic cost visibility – budgets are based on real project logic, so you see the cost impact of design decisions early, while changes are still cheap.
- The right professionals – Lynx Copilot matches your project with vetted architects, engineers and contractors suited to its size, type and location.
- Oversight throughout – from first idea to move-in, Lynx Copilot keeps track of what has been decided, what comes next and where the risks are.
Already have a house? The same approach works for renovations and extensions. You draw the existing home, or start from a matching plan, and design the changes directly on the drawing – a knocked-through wall, an extension, a new storey or a loft conversion. Lynx Copilot compares both states line by line and returns an itemised estimate with a price range, a construction timeline and a clear answer on whether you need a structural engineer.
Why it matters
Most budget overruns and delays in self-build are not bad luck. They come from decisions made too early, too late or without the full picture – a design that does not fit the planning conditions, a quote that leaves out key works, a contractor chosen on availability rather than fit. Lynx Copilot brings these decisions forward and makes their consequences visible.

LynxCraft is a winner at the UK PropTech Association Awards 2025.
Working alongside professionals
Lynx Copilot does not replace architects, engineers or builders – it brings the right ones to you. Based on your plot, budget and house type, Lynx Copilot suggests vetted professionals from its partner network, with commercial terms and contractual commitments agreed in advance. From there, it coordinates everyone in one interface, so all parties work from the same information and the project moves forward with fewer surprises.
