From description to floor plan
in three steps

01

Describe your project

Tell DraftHaus the square footage, style, number of bedrooms, and any special requirements. Plain language — no forms to fill, no CAD training needed.

02

AI generates floor plan + cost estimate

In under 30 seconds, DraftHaus produces a complete floor plan with room dimensions and a line-item cost estimate — ready to review with your client.

03

Manage your build

Save plans to projects, iterate on designs, and track the full build lifecycle — all in one place. No spreadsheets, no stitching tools together.

  • 01

    Design cycles that eat weeks

    Clients want to see three versions. Then revisions on each. Floor plans bounce between email, PDF, and whiteboard until nobody remembers which is current.

  • 02

    Costs that surface too late

    Material pricing changes weekly. Estimates are guesswork until deep into the project. Change orders blow up timelines and trust.

  • 03

    Contractor coordination by text

    Scheduling across framing, electrical, plumbing, and finish crews lives in group texts and mental notes. One delay cascades through everything.

  • 04

    Admin that crowds out craft

    You became an architect to design homes. Instead, you spend half your week on invoices, progress updates, and scheduling calls.

One AI agent. Whole operation.

DraftHaus doesn't replace your design eye. It replaces the spreadsheets, the status calls, and the back-of-napkin math.

Floor Plan Generation

Describe the client's needs in plain language. DraftHaus generates buildable floor plans with room dimensions, flow, and structural logic.

Instant Cost Estimates

Real-time material and labor pricing tied to your region. Know what a design costs before the client asks, not after you've committed.

3D Visualization

Photorealistic renders generated in minutes. Walk clients through their future home during the first meeting, not after weeks of back and forth.

Project Scheduling

AI coordinates contractors, tracks dependencies, and adjusts timelines when things shift. You see the full picture without making the calls.

Client Portal

Homeowners see progress, approve changes, and track their build in one place. No more "just checking in" emails clogging your inbox.

Budget Tracking

Every change order, material swap, and timeline shift updates the budget automatically. Surprises happen on the jobsite, not in the spreadsheet.
