Frequently asked questions
Can I get blueprints for a building permit?
Currently the app generates a detailed informative floor plan and 3D model that can serve as a concept for your architect or contractor.
How accurate are the material prices?
Prices are regularly updated based on average market prices. They serve as a precise budgeting estimate, but actual prices may vary by supplier and location.
Can I save my project for later?
Yes! Register for free and all your projects are automatically saved to the cloud. Access them from any device, anytime.
What foundation types are available?
The app supports three foundation types: concrete pillars (most popular), concrete slab, and wooden platform. Each type includes detailed specs and auto-calculation.
What roof coverings are available?
You can choose from metal sheets (trapezoidal/tile profile), wooden shingles, and bitumen shingles (Tegola). Each option includes required sublayers.
Can I add a side room (annex)?
Yes! In step 2 you can add a side room with adjustable width, length, and position. The annex is automatically integrated into the 3D model and cost estimate.
Does this work on mobile?
Absolutely! The app is fully responsive and optimized for all screen sizes — from mobile phones to desktop monitors.
What's the difference between cabin, house, and glamping?
A cabin is for seasonal use with lighter insulation. A house has reinforced insulation for year-round living. Glamping cabin focuses on tourist rental with emphasis on visual appeal.
