A platform for building and investing in Sri Lanka from abroad

Planr is a platform for Sri Lankans living abroad and overseas investors who want to build or invest in Sri Lanka but can't manage it from the ground. I designed and built the platform alongside two collaborators — covering the marketing site, a dual-role SaaS product (clients and consultants), booking system, AI-powered Q&A, and the design system underpinning all of it.

The construction market in Sri Lanka runs entirely on trust and physical presence. If you're overseas, there's no single place to find verified experts, no way to check credentials remotely, and no infrastructure for making a confident hiring decision from abroad. For younger earners approaching it for the first time, the barrier is even higher — they have the income and the intent, but no framework for where to even start.

The core product loop: browse consultant profiles, pick from live availability, confirm a booking. No back-and-forth. Planr AI (powered by Claude Haiku) answers architecture, permit, and cost questions in real time — positioned as a first-responder between sessions, not a replacement for the human consultant. The design system serves two completely different mental models — clients in discovery mode, consultants in management mode — from the same component set.

The platform is live and open for early access signups.
