From building plan to buildable model

BrickPlan.AI turns a building plan into a buildable brick model. Our own algorithm and a brick rule set do the work: they read scale, walls and openings, place every brick and check that the model holds. AI helps with photos, scans and sketches and double-checks the result.

How it works

From the sheet to a buildable model in six steps, exactly as in the app.

  1. Upload

    Upload assistant «New project» with four plan sheets assigned the roles ground floor plan, upper floor plan, elevation and section

    One or more files per job, also as ZIP. Every file gets a role: floor plan with storey, section, elevation or roof plan.

  2. Read

    Plan recognition window with the clean drawing of the ground floor, rooms, walls, doors and windows detected, next to it the finished brick model

    The format is detected from the content. BrickPlan.AI reads CAD plans directly; for photos, scans and sketches, AI helps to recognise the structure.

  3. Understand

    Understanding window with a hipped roof and a 45 degree roof pitch read from the section, next to it the model pulled apart by storey

    Only floor plans are turned into storeys. From sections and elevations BrickPlan.AI reads ridge, eaves and roof pitch.

  4. Ask

    Questions window with three queries on roof shape, sill height and lintel height, the suggestion marked in each, the grey suggested model in the background

    If a value is missing, BrickPlan.AI uses a flagged default and asks you to confirm. Every answer creates a new version.

  5. Place bricks

    Half-built brick model of the house cut through the storeys with the interiors visible, the S, M and L level selector below

    The algorithm places every part by fixed rules. The same building comes in three tiers: S Compact, M Classic and L Exclusive, live in the 3D world.

  6. Check and deliver

    Check window with every level buildable and a lintel over all 46 openings, next to it the building instructions at step 1 with PDF in German and English

    Buildability check per tier with reasons: no overlap, nothing floats, a lintel above every opening. Then parts list, building instructions and exports.

Input and output

What you upload and what you get

Three cards side by side with a floor plan as PDF, a photographed plan on a wooden table and a pencil sketch of the ground floorInput

Plans, photos, sketches

DXF, DWG, IFC, PDF (up to 200 pages), photos and scans, sketches, individually or as ZIP. Every file gets its role: floor plan, section, elevation or roof plan.

Model, instructions, parts

3D model to rotate and walk through, building instructions in 3D and as PDF, parts list and exports: LDraw (.ldr), BrickLink Studio (.io), BrickLink wanted list, CSV and order list for merchants.

Three brick models of the same house side by side, small with 1,018 parts, medium with 3,109 parts and large with 14,383 partsTiers

Three tiers, one house

S Compact as a mini model (300 to 1,200 parts), M Classic true to life, about 1:34 (1,000 to 4,000 parts), L Exclusive with window frames and full interior (from 3,000 parts). Preview every tier in 3D first.

Play mode & free build

Before you build, you already walk through your house.

Through your own model

Walk through your own model room by room, open doors, switch on the lights, set the time of day and the weather.

Build freely on your own plot

No template needed: choose a plot, pick a brick, place it, rotate it. Before every order, the stability check makes sure everything holds.

Editor window in correction mode with the list of storeys and the Recalculate button, next to it the brick model with the Edit toolbarBuild editor

Everything stays editable

Place, swap and remove bricks on the computed model, adjust storeys, design facade, roof and garden.

The algorithm does the work first and AI helps. Translating architecture into brick logic is the core of BrickPlan.AI.

Behind BrickPlan.AI is our own algorithm with a brick rule set: it reads the plan, reconstructs storeys and roof and places every brick so that the model holds, taking bond, stability and available parts into account. AI helps where a plan is not available as a CAD file and double-checks the result.

The 3D view runs in real time in the browser: rotate the model, cut through it, page through it level by level and walk through it.

Your plan, your model. Now on brickplan.ai.
