A house move, without the box nobody can find

What's in which box, which admin tasks are still pending, which quote you accepted, what you actually spent: a house move is currently run on a spreadsheet, photos of a notebook and two people's memory. Blueprint Maker generates the application that holds it all together, your way.

Generate this application

The description is already written: free sign-up, then it's waiting for you in the composer.

Box 14 is somewhere, and nobody knows where

A move is three simultaneous inventories that never meet. The boxes, numbered in marker pen with their contents written on the flap — unreadable once they're stacked. The admin — address, energy, internet, school, insurance, bank — scattered between confirmation emails and a handwritten list. The quotes, received as PDFs, compared once and then forgotten.

Yet on the day, the questions that come up are simple and always the same: which box is the coffee machine in, was the meter reading actually taken, how much is still owed to the movers. None of the three has a quick answer in a spreadsheet, because each one lives in a different place.

Your move, described then generated

Describe how you work: “I'm moving from a two-bedroom flat to a house. I have numbered boxes, each tied to a room it comes from and a room it goes to, with a list of what's inside and whether it's fragile. I have admin tasks with a deadline and a status. I have mover quotes with an amount and a decision. I want to see what isn't packed yet, which admin is overdue, and the real budget.”

Blueprint Maker generates the matching application: the box inventory and its contents, the dated admin checklist, the quotes and their status, the spending, and a dashboard that answers your questions.

Your rooms, your admin categories, your way of numbering boxes become the structure of the application — not the other way round.

  • Boxes: number, room from, room to, contents, fragile
  • Admin: deadline, status, organisation involved
  • Quotes: provider, amount, decision
  • Actual spending, against the planned budget
  • Dashboard: what's left to pack and to do

Finding an object, from your phone, surrounded by boxes

The application is a web application at its own address: it opens on a phone, standing in the hallway, with nothing to install. Searching “coffee machine” in the contents returns the box number and the room it's headed to.

For two people or more, it's the same up-to-date data for everyone: whoever is packing the kitchen and whoever is calling the utilities work from the same list, without emailing a file back and forth.

Admin tasks have dates, and that's the part that costs money

The box inventory is the visible part; the admin is the part you pay for. An energy contract cancelled too late, mail redirection requested after you've left, home insurance that doesn't cover the new address on move-in day: these are deadlines, not tasks, and a deadline with no date on screen is a deadline missed.

In the generated application, an admin item carries its deadline and its status, and the dashboard surfaces what's coming up. Nothing automatic is promised here: the application writes to nobody on your behalf and knows no organisation — it shows what you put in, in time.

For the length of a move, and it stays yours

The Discovery plan (€0) generates a first complete application, often enough for a move, which is by nature a short project. Paid plans are there to iterate, with the cost shown before each generation.

At the end, nothing is held hostage: every list exports to CSV, and the settings offer a JSON export of each dataset. The application's code is exportable too, as an archive or to a repository: keep the inventory as evidence for insurance, or reuse the structure for the next move.

Frequently asked questions: organising a house move

Do I need technical skills to build this application?

No. You describe your move in plain language — boxes, admin, quotes — you approve a plan, and the application is generated without writing code.

Can two of us, or the whole family, use it?

Yes: it is a centralised web application. Everyone reaches the same up-to-date data on a shared URL, from a phone as much as from a computer.

Can I find which box an object is in?

Yes, if your description includes box contents: each box carries the list of what's inside, and the box list can be searched and filtered from a phone.

Does the application send reminders for admin tasks?

No — it sends nothing and contacts no organisation on your behalf. Each admin item carries a deadline and a status, and the dashboard highlights what is coming up or overdue.

What happens to the application once the move is over?

It stays yours. Every list exports to CSV, datasets export to JSON, and the application's code is exportable: archive it, keep the inventory, or reuse its structure later.

Is it really free to start?

Yes: the Discovery plan generates a first application without paying. The cost of later generations is shown before you launch them.
