Most floor plans can be created in 15-30 minutes, depending on the complexity of the property and level of detail you want to include. Simple layouts can be done in just a few minutes. The tool is designed for speed and efficiency, so you can quickly create professional floor plans without spending hours on complex software.

Question 6

How do I draw a floor plan for a house?

Accepted Answer

With Pedra, drawing a floor plan takes 3 steps: 1) Draw the house perimeter and add interior walls, 2) Insert doors, windows, and furniture from our library, 3) Add room dimensions and export to PDF. No design skills needed – the drag-and-drop interface guides you step by step. Most floor plans are completed in 15 minutes.

Question 7

How much does floor plan software cost?

Accepted Answer

Professional software like AutoCAD costs $200-300/month and requires technical training. Pedra starts at $29/month and is designed for real estate agents, not architects. It includes everything needed for property listings: furniture library, automatic dimensions, high-quality exports. Most of our users recover the cost with their first sold listing.

Question 8

Can I create floor plans on my phone?

Accepted Answer

Yes, Pedra works on any device with a web browser, including smartphones and tablets. You can start the floor plan on your computer and edit it from your phone on-site.

Question 10

Is it better to draw floor plans by hand or on computer?

Accepted Answer

Digital floor plans with Pedra offer significant advantages: automatic precise dimensions, uniform professional appearance, instant edits without starting over, and easy digital sharing. Hand-drawn floor plans are less clear for clients and difficult to modify. For real estate listings, digital floor plans increase credibility and generate more leads.

Question 11

Can I use AI to create floor plans?

Accepted Answer

Pedra integrates AI features to speed up creation: automatic wall alignment, furniture arrangement suggestions, and conversion from 2D floor plans to photorealistic 3D renders.
