One of the great technological advances in the last few years has been smart phones like the iPhone.

The ability to have information at your finger tips can help any renovator or builder in planning a renovation, home improvement or new home construction.

Here are some of the apps I have been using on my iPhone.

They may be available on other smart phones if you check

1. A  bubble  level for FREE- search for the Stanley Bostitch Level.

I have used it to check the levels on a washing machine I was installing,  on floor levels for newly completed tiles and many other things.

2. Houzz

This  is a weekly on line magazine stacked full of design ideas and also as a FREE  app which helps to provide ideas as you talk to clients.

There are so many images which can help guide the design process.

3. Dulux Paint Colour information

This is available in Australia, I am not sure about overseas, just check.

You can have all the colours of Dulux Paint at your finger tips for FREE.
