How Homeowners Use Design Studio

First-time homeowners use Builtattic to get professional-quality drawings without paying architect fees they can't afford — or waiting weeks for a first draft.

2BHK on 30×40 Plot, Pune
"I have a 30×40 ft plot in Hadapsar, Pune. I need a Vastu-compliant 2BHK with covered parking and a puja room to show the builder. I can't afford a full architect."

Buy a matching 2BHK Design Studio plan (from ₹4,999), download instantly with architect stamp, and hand to builder the same day. Saves 2–3 weeks of architect back-and-forth and ₹30,000–₹60,000 in fees. Pair with VitruviAI if the standard plan needs customisation.

3BHK Plan for Construction Loan
"My bank needs a floor plan with an architect stamp and a bill of quantities to process my construction loan application. I need both within a week."

Download a Design Studio 3BHK plan (includes COA architect stamp, accepted by most Indian banks), then generate a BOQ with Builtattic's Vision material estimator. Full loan documentation package in under 24 hours — vs 3–4 weeks through a traditional architect.

"I want to try 3–4 different layouts before committing to a design. My plot is irregular and I'm not sure which configuration works best."

Start with VitruviAI — generate 4–5 layout options in minutes for your irregular plot. Once you've found the configuration you like, look for a Design Studio plan that closely matches, buy it, and use its architect stamp for planning submission. Best of both worlds: AI speed + architect credentials.

How Developers Use Design Studio

Developers use Builtattic to eliminate per-unit design fees on repeat typologies and get to construction faster on new sites.

12 Identical Duplex Units, Bangalore
"I'm building 12 identical G+1 duplex units across 3 sites in Whitefield. I don't want to commission custom drawings for each — one set should cover all 12."

Buy one G+1 duplex Design Studio plan. Use the DWG file to produce site-specific variations (minor setback adjustments) with a local draughtsman. Total design cost across 12 units: under ₹25,000 vs ₹3,60,000+ for custom drawings per unit. Full drawing set available instantly.

Site Feasibility Before Acquisition
"I'm considering buying a 50×80 ft plot in Hyderabad. I need to know what I can build on it and what it will cost before I make an offer."

Use VitruviAI to generate 2–3 layout options for the plot in under 5 minutes. Then run each option through the Vision cost estimator to get a BOQ and cost breakdown. Complete feasibility analysis before spending a rupee — no architect fee, no waiting.

Show Buyers What They're Getting
"I'm pre-selling villa plots and need to show buyers a professional 3D view of what they could build — before construction has even started."

Use a Design Studio villa plan as the base, then generate a 3D view with VitruviAI Pro. Share with potential buyers as a professional visualisation of the development. Faster and cheaper than commissioning renders from an architectural visualiser.

How Architects Use Design Studio

Architects use Design Studio plans as starting points for standard typologies — cutting concept-stage drafting time and freeing hours for the design work that actually requires their expertise.

Client Brief → Plan in 1 Day
"My client wants to see 2 layout options for their 40×60 ft plot in Chennai by tomorrow's meeting. Standard 3BHK brief."

Use VitruviAI to generate 3–4 rapid concept layouts in minutes. Select the best two, export as PDF, and present tomorrow. If the client approves a direction, either use a matching Design Studio plan for the full drawing set or proceed with custom production drawings. Saves half a day of concept drafting.

Instant Cost Estimate for Client
"My client just changed the brief to add a study room and expand the kitchen. I need an updated cost estimate before the end of today's meeting."

Regenerate the revised layout with VitruviAI, then run the updated plan through Vision to get a new BOQ and cost breakdown — in under 5 minutes. Present real-time cost impact to the client without needing to call a quantity surveyor.

How Contractors Use Design Studio

Contractors use Design Studio plans to take on construction projects from clients who don't yet have drawings — and to pair them with cost estimates and timelines to close deals faster.

Complete Package for Client
"My client has a plot but no drawings, no architect, and no cost estimate. They want me to take responsibility for the entire project from plan to build."

Buy a matching Design Studio plan, generate a BOQ with Vision, and create a construction schedule with the Timeline Generator — all in one day. Present the client with a complete project package: drawings, cost, and schedule. Faster client sign-off, higher perceived value.

Tracking Build Against Plan
"Construction has started but progress is being tracked manually on WhatsApp. I need a proper way to track daily attendance, billing, and work stages."

Once the Design Studio plan is in hand and construction starts, use Builtattic's Construction Management app to track daily labour attendance, bill clients by construction stage, and share progress updates directly from site. All billing in INR with GST support.
