HOMEOWNERS, ARCHITECTS AND DESIGNERS

Scan first. See your home before you pay.

Walk through the house with your iPhone. HouseScan captures the walls, doors and windows by itself and draws the floor plan.

The floor plan PDF is free. No credit card. The CAD file (DXF, opens in AutoCAD) is $5 for the home. No subscription.

Illustration. The real drawings are below.

HOW ONE HOUSE GETS DRAWN

You open the app

HouseScan on an iPhone with LiDAR (iPhone 12 Pro or newer Pro models). Press START SCAN.

You walk the home

Room by room, slowly, and finish where you started. About twelve minutes for a floor.

HouseScan CAD processes

The capture becomes a measured model. Anything the phone could not see is flagged on the drawing, never guessed.

You get the floor plan

The PDF is free on your page. The CAD file (DXF) of the same plan is $5, once, for the home.

ONE REAL SCAN, END TO END

The walk, the capture, the drawing

Everything below except the first photograph is untouched output from a single four-room capture. Nothing was redrawn by hand to make it look better.

1. THE WALKYou hold the phone at chest height and walk each room. Illustration, not a screenshot.
A measured three-dimensional model of a four-room home, showing walls, doors and windows in place.
2. WHAT CAME BACKThe measured model the plan is drawn from. Thirty-five elements: 28 high confidence, 5 medium, 0 low, 2 marked for field verification.
The quality-control summary for the scan: 4 rooms, 16 walls, 8 doors, windows and openings, 359 square feet, 54 measured values, 18 values needing field verification, 1 flag and 36 dimensions.
3. WHAT WE CHECKEDThe QC report that comes with every set. It says how many values were measured, how many need a tape on site, and what the scan flagged, so you know before you open the drawing.SWIPE THE REPORT SIDEWAYS TO READ IT
Sheet A-1, the existing floor plan, with a legend, general notes, scan quality-control flags and a title block.
4. WHAT YOU GETThe floor plan sheet. The legend states which lines are measured and which are assumed, the notes say what the scanner cannot see, and the flags are printed on the sheet instead of being buried. The PDF is free; the same drawing as a DXF is $5.SWIPE THE SHEET SIDEWAYS TO READ IT

FLOOR PLAN

FREE

See your home before you pay

  • Scan quality result: what was captured, and what was not
  • The floor plan of your home on your own page
  • The PDF, dimensioned, with room areas and ceiling heights
  • No credit card

CAD FILE

$5 / home

The same floor plan as a DXF

  • Opens in AutoCAD, BricsCAD, DraftSight and most CAD programs; imports into Revit
  • Walls, doors, windows and dimensions on named layers, in inches
  • One file per floor level
  • Bought on your floor plan page, after you have seen the plan

Every plan is marked PRELIMINARY. Walls are drawn as the phone measured them (published precision 2 to 5 cm per wall); anything the capture could not determine is flagged V.I.F. on the sheet rather than filled in with a plausible number. Verify on site before you design or build. Best results: one floor level at a time, up to about 2,000 sq ft, walking slowly and finishing where you started.

THE PART NOBODY ELSE PRINTS

What is included, and what is not

A phone capture sees the inside of a building. It does not see everything. We print which is which on the drawing itself, so nothing gets designed on top of a guess.

MEASURED, AND MARKED AS MEASURED

  • Wall lengths, room shapes and floor areas
  • Ceiling height in every room
  • Door and window sizes and positions
  • Floor elevations, level to level
  • Stair location and flight size
  • Partition thickness between two captured rooms

NOT CAPTURED, AND PRINTED AS NOT CAPTURED

  • Which way a door swings, and its hinge side
  • The roof, and the exterior faces of the building
  • Wall thickness where only one side was captured
  • True north, and the site
  • Anything structural behind the finishes

Walls are drawn as measured. They are never snapped square to make a tidier drawing. Corners are never moved to close a polygon. Every dimension on the set carries a value, a source, a confidence and the method behind it, and anything we could not measure is printed as FIELD VERIFICATION REQUIRED rather than filled in with a plausible number. The set is existing-condition documentation for design use, and it is not for construction without a field check.

TURNAROUND

How long it takes

12 min Walking one floor with the phone.
Minutes From the scan arriving to the floor plan on your page, usually. Always within two business days.
Free rescan If a room captured badly, the page says which one; scan that room again at no cost.

QUESTIONS

Straight answers

How accurate is it?

The capture runs on Apple RoomPlan, whose published precision is 2 to 5 cm per wall, and small errors accumulate across a large house. That is the honest starting number. We have not yet measured our own error against a tape on real houses; when that figure exists we will publish it instead of borrowing Apple's. Either way, you never have to take a number on trust: every dimension says whether it was measured or assumed, and anything unmeasured is printed as field verify.

What phone do I need?

An iPhone or iPad with the LiDAR scanner: iPhone 12 Pro and later Pro models, or an iPad Pro. Hold it at chest height and walk each room. About twelve minutes for a floor. If you do not have one, a friend's phone works just as well - the plan comes to your own page.

What happens if the capture is bad?

The quality card tells you before you look at the plan. If an area captured poorly it names the room to walk back to; you scan that one room again, which takes a minute, and the plan is redrawn. Nothing is charged for a rescan. If a scan simply cannot be drawn, the page says so and nobody pays for it.

What is in the CAD file, and what opens it?

A DXF of the same floor plan: walls, doors, windows and dimensions on named layers, in inches, one file per floor level. It opens in AutoCAD, BricsCAD, DraftSight, LibreCAD and most CAD programs, and imports into Revit as linked geometry (fixed walls to trace against, not Revit wall types). It is $5, once, for the home, bought on your floor plan page after you have seen the plan.

Can I build from it?

No. It is a preliminary existing-condition floor plan from a phone scan, marked PRELIMINARY on every sheet. Every line says whether it was measured or assumed and what must be field verified. Give it to your designer, architect or contractor as the starting point; they remain responsible for the design, the permit and anything built.

How long does it take?

Usually minutes from the scan arriving to the floor plan on your page. Always within two business days: if something needs a person to look at it, you are emailed.

What about the roof, the outside and the site?

An interior capture cannot see any of them, so we do not draw them. We print NOT CAPTURED instead of a line that looks measured.

WHY YOU CAN PUT YOUR NAME ON IT

Nothing is guessed, and the register proves it

THE REGISTER

Every number has a paper trail

  • Value, source, confidence, tolerance and method for each dimension
  • Shipped as a sheet in the set and as a spreadsheet
  • If a number is questioned later, you can point at where it came from

THE CHECK

Every scan is graded before you see the plan

  • The quality card says what was captured and what was not
  • Rooms that captured badly are named, for a one-minute rescan
  • The flags are printed on the sheet, not hidden in a file

THE RULE

We never invent a dimension

  • Walls are drawn as measured, never snapped square
  • Door swings are not drawn, because they are not captured
  • Assumed thickness is drawn dashed and marked V.I.F.

Your capture belongs to you. We do not sell it, list it, or hand it to anyone else.
