FloorPlanMind — Catch Floor Plan Problems Before You Sign
FloorPlanMind turns a floor plan image into a fast, buyer-friendly review of layout issues that photos never reveal. Floges built the SaaS to flag circulation, furniture fit, privacy, storage, and light problems in about 60 seconds.
When evaluating a property, buyers see polished listing photos and marketing brochures. What they don't see is whether the kitchen island blocks the dishwasher door, whether the main bedroom has no natural light, or whether the corridor eats 12% of the total floor area with no functional purpose. These aren't cosmetic issues — they're livability problems that emerge on day one of occupancy.
For off-plan buyers, overseas purchasers, and first-time buyers without experienced advisors, floor plan evaluation was guesswork. The product idea was simple: let buyers upload a plan and get the kind of review an experienced architect or buyer's agent would give in a live walkthrough.
Mapped every real-world floor plan problem that experienced buyers and agents look for: traffic flow bottlenecks, furniture clearance failures, sightline privacy issues, rooms with no natural light, and wasted corridor space. These became the AI's core evaluation criteria.
Scoped the MVP around a single upload-to-report flow: accept PDF, JPG, PNG, or listing screenshot — analyse layout dimensions and spatial relationships — return a structured report with livability score, red flags, yellow flags, green lights, and agent questions. Credit-based billing (not subscription) was chosen to remove commitment friction for one-time buyers.
Built the image ingestion and AI analysis pipeline, the structured report generation system (livability score, flagged issues by category, furniture fit matrix), and credit-based billing with Stripe. Multi-language report output — English, Spanish, Portuguese, Chinese, German, French — shipped in the first build. Shareable links and downloadable PDFs included at launch.
Launched with a free 1-report preview tier requiring no credit card — allowing buyers to validate the product value before any payment commitment. Paid tiers from $4.99 (single report) to $34.99 (15 reports) with non-expiring credits and a 7-day refund window.
Post-launch: analysis accuracy refined through real report feedback. Lifestyle-specific analysis added — work-from-home suitability, child safety flagging, and accessibility assessments — targeting buyer personas beyond standard purchasers. Volume grew to 50,000+ floor plans analysed.
Building an AI SaaS where the core value is in the analysis, not the interface?
Let's scope the AI logic, the output format buyers actually need, and the billing model that removes friction at the point of conversion.
