About Drafted
Drafted is an AI-powered home design tool that generates complete floor plans, elevations, and 3D home models from a drawn footprint and a list of rooms. Users can set constraints like lot boundaries and square footage targets, then export designs as CAD or PDF files.
Review
Drafted delivers a fast, concept-level approach to residential design, turning simple inputs into buildable-looking plans in seconds. The product is focused on early-stage idea generation for homeowners, designers, and small builders, and has seen significant early traction since launch.
Key Features
- Convert hand-drawn or digital footprints into full floor plans, elevations, and 3D views.
- Specify room lists, square footage targets, lot boundaries, and other design constraints.
- Export outputs as CAD and PDF files for further refinement or sharing.
- Rapidly generate multiple alternatives to compare layouts and massing options.
- Simple web interface with templates and options for social sharing.
Pricing and Value
At launch Drafted is offered for free, making it easy to try concept designs without upfront cost. The free access combined with direct export to CAD/PDF provides clear value for anyone wanting quick iterations before committing to paid design work. Details on longer-term pricing or premium tiers were not fully specified at the time of launch.
Pros
- Very fast generation of complete home designs, useful for initial idea work.
- Supports practical constraints (lot lines, square footage, room lists) rather than only aesthetic outputs.
- Exportable files (CAD/PDF) make it straightforward to hand off to architects or builders.
- Accessible interface that lowers the barrier for non-technical users to test layouts.
- Strong early adoption and many generated designs suggest active community interest.
Cons
- Some features and templates require signing up, which may interrupt casual exploration.
- Automatically generated plans may need professional refinement for code compliance and construction detailing.
- Advanced site-specific constraints and complex geometry may still require manual work or an architect's input.
Drafted is best for homeowners, designers, and developers who want rapid concept exploration and a fast way to visualize alternatives before investing in detailed design. For final construction documents or complex projects, expect to use these outputs as a starting point and rely on a professional to finalize technical details.
