AI-Powered Building Design Software for Architects & Engineers

DesignDrafter is an AI-powered architecture design software that helps architects, engineers, and developers generate intelligent floor plans, perform engineering calculations, and automate design workflows all in one unified workspace.

Our AI engine uses your inputs like room count, plot shape, and square footage to generate optimized, buildable floor layouts instantly. You can then refine, iterate, and explore alternatives in real time.

Yes! You can upload existing floor plans and sketches, and the AI will help you refine them, improve layouts, and generate visually and technically sound alternatives.

Absolutely. DesignDrafter is built for professional use, supporting architectural layout generation, MEP calculations, quantity take-offs, and structured outputs that integrate with CAD and BIM workflows.

Yes. Beyond design visualization, DesignDrafter automates:

• Electrical load calculations
• HVAC sizing
• Plumbing systems
• Fire safety compliance
• Quantity take-offs and BOQs

All are integrated into the platform to reduce errors and speed up delivery.

Yes. All design calculations on DesignDrafter are aligned with the standards most relevant to Indian building projects. Electrical calculations follow IS/IEC standards, HVAC sizing is governed by ASHRAE, ECBC, and ISHRAE guidelines, plumbing systems adhere to IS:1172, UPCI, and NBC norms, and fire fighting systems comply with NBC, NFPA, and IS:15105. Whether you’re working on a residential apartment block, a commercial complex, or an institutional building in India, the platform ensures every output is code-compliant and submission-ready.

DesignDrafter’s AI extracts quantities directly from your design layouts and engineering data – not from approximations or manual counting. This means BOQs are generated with high accuracy, structured, and formatted to be BOQ-ready for client proposals, procurement, and tendering. You can apply item markups, edit specifications, and choose preferred brands within the platform. While the AI significantly reduces human error and speeds up the takeoff process, your estimators can review and adjust any line item before finalizing, so you always stay in control of the output.

DesignDrafter’s CAD to Revit converter uses AI to intelligently read your 2D CAD drawings and transform them into structured, object-based 3D Revit models – complete with architectural and MEP elements. Instead of manually remodelling or redrafting, the platform auto-classifies walls, doors, windows, MEP systems, and annotations from your CAD file and rebuilds them as intelligent BIM objects in Revit. The output includes full annotation, sheet creation, circuiting and DB details, clash resolution, and even Cobie/Uniclass data fills. This dramatically reduces the time from legacy CAD to a fully coordinated BIM model ready for documentation and analysis.

Yes. DesignDrafter is designed as a unified, multi-discipline platform. Architectural floor plan generation, MEP calculations (Electrical, HVAC, Plumbing, Fire Fighting), quantity takeoffs, BIM automation, and AI design agents all operate within the same workspace and share project context. This means your architectural layouts feed directly into MEP design calculations, which in turn generate BOQs – all without switching between disconnected tools. For larger teams, Studio Complete brings every module and calculation discipline into one workspace, and Enterprise adds project management and organisation-wide administration.

Traditional tools like Revit and AutoCAD are powerful drafting and modelling environments, but they require significant manual input, are time-intensive, and don’t automate design intelligence. DesignDrafter is not a replacement for these tools – it works alongside them. Where Revit requires an engineer to manually model every element, DesignDrafter auto-generates layouts, calculates MEP systems, extracts BOQs, and even converts CAD to Revit – then delivers the output directly into your existing BIM workflow. It’s the automation layer on top of your current software stack, built specifically for the Indian AEC market with local code compliance built in.

DesignDrafter is built for professional AEC teams working on a wide range of building types – from residential apartments, villas, and housing societies to commercial offices, retail complexes, hotels, hospitals, educational institutions, and industrial facilities. our architecture design software used by architectural firms, MEP consultants, EPC contractors, and product manufacturers. Whether you’re generating a floor plan for a small residential layout or running full MEP calculations and BOQs for a large commercial tower, the platform scales to the size and complexity of your project.
