My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.
This would depend entirely upon the shape of the sofa, the shape and size of the room, and the style you are trying to achieve. Personally, I am a fan of rectangular and square rugs as they seem to work in most spaces and are more classic than other shapes.
