Design Tools
Drafted
TL;DR
AI-powered modeling that automates the grunt work of residential architectural drafting and floor plan generation.
Who is this actually for?
Residential architects and boutique design firms who are tired of spending forty hours on basic CAD layouts.
The Good
- Automates the repetitive geometry work that usually eats up billable hours.
- Helps solo practitioners compete with larger firms by speeding up the initial design phase.
The Catch (Potential Downsides)
AI-generated plans still need a human to verify structural integrity and local zoning laws before anything actually gets built. It probably won't handle complex, non-standard custom builds perfectly on the first try.
