Drafted is an AI-assisted floor-plan and early home-design application. Users define a room list, rough dimensions, lot or footprint information, house shape, and optional room positions on a visual canvas. The system generates layout concepts that can be edited, compared, viewed in 3D, and exported for further work. Drafted deliberately uses structured spatial inputs rather than relying only on a free-form prompt. Its output is intended for schematic exploration and communication, not as a finished construction or permit set.
What Drafted does
A typical workflow starts with requirements such as bedrooms, garage needs, square-footage target, and desired room relationships. Users can draw or adjust the building shape, place rooms, generate alternatives, and refine a promising plan without restarting from an empty page. Drafted's current materials describe live 3D visualization and exports including PDF, DXF, IFC, and GLB. The FAQ says the product currently focuses on single-level plans, while multi-story homes and basements are still in progress. It also says the application is free at present, but availability, limits, file formats, and commercial terms should be checked when a project begins.
Drafted can make tradeoffs easier to discuss with a buyer, architect, builder, developer, drafter, interior designer, or real estate agent. However, an internally consistent-looking plan can still contain circulation, accessibility, structural, site, fire, energy, daylight, privacy, mechanical, plumbing, or code problems. A 3D render can also create more confidence than the underlying schematic deserves.
Who it is for
Drafted is most relevant to homebuyers clarifying a brief, architects and designers exploring early options, builders preparing client conversations, developers comparing concepts, and agents illustrating possible reconfiguration. It can provide a structured starting point before detailed CAD or BIM work. It is not an architect, engineer, surveyor, estimator, code official, zoning analysis, energy model, quantity takeoff, appraisal, or guarantee that a design fits a parcel, budget, planning rule, or construction method.
What to verify before adopting
Test representative lots, room programs, narrow footprints, irregular shapes, accessibility needs, circulation constraints, garages, stairs, storage, exterior openings, and indoor-outdoor connections. Check dimensions, adjacencies, wall continuity, egress, daylight, privacy, furniture clearances, and whether repeated generations preserve constraints. Open every exported file in the downstream application and inspect units, layers, geometry, objects, and revision behavior. Confirm account terms, ownership and permitted use of inputs and outputs, storage, deletion, model training, security, support, collaboration, export limits, and service continuity. A qualified local team should verify survey data, zoning, setbacks, structure, codes, systems, cost, permits, and construction documents. PropAIdir has not independently tested Drafted or reproduced vendor claims about generation quality, global use, export fidelity, accuracy, speed, availability, or design outcomes.
