Make Floor Plan

Floor plans are one of those artifacts that sit awkwardly between disciplines. Architects and drafters work in CAD, where precision is the point and the learning curve is steep. Everyone else — homeowners planning a renovation, agents preparing a listing, interior designers sketching an early concept, landlords documenting a unit — needs something far simpler: a legible layout that communicates the shape of a space. Make Floor Plan is built for that second group. It takes three kinds of input and produces the same kind of output. You can describe a layout in text — a two-bedroom apartment with an open kitchen and a hallway bathroom — and get a generated 2D plan back. You can photograph or scan a hand-drawn sketch and have it cleaned up into a proper plan with straight walls, consistent line weights and readable room boundaries. Or you can upload an existing floor plan and work from it. From there the tool offers a 3D preview so you can see the layout as volume rather than lines, which is where most non-technical viewers actually form an opinion about whether a space works. Everything runs in the browser, and the output is export-ready rather than trapped in a proprietary editor. The use cases where this earns its place are specific. Real estate listings with a floor plan attached consistently hold attention longer than photo-only listings, and producing one has historically meant hiring a draftsperson or measuring the unit yourself in a CAD tool. Renovation planning is the second: before you pay anyone for drawings, you want to test three or four arrangements of the same footprint quickly, and sketch cleanup is a fast way to do that. Early design review is the third — putting a shared visual in front of a client or a partner so the conversation is about the layout rather than about interpreting a napkin drawing. The limits deserve to be stated plainly, because this is a category where overclaiming causes real problems. AI-generated plans are concepts, not construction documents. They are not dimensionally surveyed, they do not encode building code, egress requirements, structural constraints or local permitting rules, and nothing generated here should be handed to a contractor as a build spec. Accuracy on sketch cleanup depends on how legible the input is — a clear pencil drawing with labelled rooms converts far better than a hurried outline. And the 3D preview is a visualization aid, not a rendering engine; it communicates massing and flow, not materials or lighting. Make Floor Plan is a freemium product, so the sensible way to evaluate it is to run one real layout through all three input paths and judge the output against what you would otherwise have paid a drafter to produce. If you need permit-ready drawings, you still need a professional. If you need a clean, shareable layout in fifteen minutes, this is the shorter route.
