Summary
FloorGen creates and edits floor plans from drawings or text prompts, with code checks, 3D walkthroughs, and printable plan sets.
About
FloorGen applies generative AI to residential floor-plan creation and revision, combining conversational input with drawing, code checking, 3D review, and plan-set output.
FloorGen is a browser-based tool for planning remodels, accessory dwelling units, and houses. Users can draw a floor plan or describe a design in text, then use AI to generate and revise it. Changes are recorded as undo steps. The tool can check plans against the International Residential Code (IRC), provide a 3D walkthrough, and produce a printable plan set. Claude and ChatGPT can also edit plans.
Key Features
Creates floor plans from text descriptions or user drawings
Supports iterative edits with each change available as an undo step
Checks plans against the International Residential Code
Provides a 3D walkthrough of the design
Produces printable plan sets and supports editing through Claude and ChatGPT
Real-World Use Cases
Residential remodel planning
Explore and revise layout options for a home remodel before preparing a printable plan set.
Accessory dwelling unit design
Generate and review an ADU floor plan from a written description or drawing, including an IRC check.
Early-stage home design
Develop a preliminary whole-house layout, make iterative changes, and inspect the result in 3D.
Design communication
Use a 3D walkthrough and printable plans to communicate a proposed layout to household members or project stakeholders.
Business Opportunities
Faster residential design exploration
Problem: Homeowners and small design teams may need to compare layout options before committing to a detailed design process.
Solution: Use text- or drawing-based generation and reversible edits to develop and review preliminary floor-plan alternatives.
Estimated ROI: Potential time savings during early design exploration; financial returns depend on project scope and the accuracy and suitability of generated plans.
Execution: Use FloorGen during early project scoping to create draft layouts, review them in 3D, and share printable plans for discussion.
ADU concept development
Problem: Planning an accessory dwelling unit involves translating space requirements into a workable layout and checking relevant design constraints.
Solution: Generate an initial ADU plan from a description or drawing, then use the available IRC check and 3D walkthrough to review it.
Estimated ROI: Potentially reduces effort in concept iteration; no quantified savings or project outcomes are provided.
Execution: Use the tool to prepare and compare preliminary concepts, then have qualified professionals verify code requirements and project-specific constraints.
Client-facing remodeling proposals
Problem: Clients can find it difficult to understand proposed layouts from two-dimensional plans alone.
Solution: Present a 3D walkthrough alongside a printable plan set to support discussion of proposed residential layouts.
Estimated ROI: May improve the efficiency of design discussions and proposal development; the description provides no measured business impact.
Execution: Incorporate generated draft plans into proposal discussions, clearly distinguishing preliminary concepts from construction-ready documentation.
