1.1What is Make Plan and how does it revolutionize my daily work?
Make Plan turns building surveying — traditionally slow, manual and error-prone — into an automated process, from the site to the deliverable.
The principle
You scan a room with the LiDAR sensor of an iPhone or iPad. The app detects walls and openings, then generates a dimensioned 2D plan and a 3D model within minutes. Without a compatible device, the same plan is produced by drawing or by importing a PDF.
What actually changes
| Before | With Make Plan |
|---|---|
| Laser meter, notebook, re-entry at the office | Survey and plan produced on site |
| Take-off recalculated by hand | Quantities extracted automatically from the plan |
| Quote estimated by feel | Costing grounded in actual areas |
| Photos scattered around | Photos and 360° views geolocated on the plan |
Beyond the plan
The plan is only a starting point. From it, the app opens onto:
- enhancement — AI relooking, 3D visualisation, virtual tour;
- analysis — energy performance, land values;
- production — exports in PDF, DXF, IFC and measurement sheet.
