Start with a written brief
Turn a room schedule into a layout draft
Use this guide to discuss named rooms, a chosen outline and priorities before committing to a layout. Start with a written spatial brief and compare the resulting arrangements. The result is a concept image for review, not a measured deliverable.
What to explore
- Turn a rough accommodation list into a first sketch for a design meeting.
- Compare an initial proposal with a second version that changes only one priority in named rooms, a chosen outline and priorities.
- Annotate uncertainties and use the selected concept to prepare a focused discussion with a qualified designer.
From a brief to a concept
Prepare the spatial brief
Separate required rooms from optional spaces and rank the three adjacencies you care about most.
Choose a constrained direction
Adapt the example below to your actual project. Specify named rooms, a chosen outline and priorities and avoid asking for unverified measurements or approved technical output.
Compare against the source
Compare named rooms, a chosen outline and priorities before judging the visual style. Trace the entrance and each main route; flag missing openings, overlapping furniture or unexplained extra area.

Suggested brief
Make a compact single-storey plan concept from this schedule: two bedrooms, one bathroom, shared living and dining, kitchen and utility storage. Keep private rooms away from the entrance.
How to review the result
- Tick off every required room and flag duplicate rooms before discussing visual polish.
- Check labels, door symbols, boundaries and furniture scale manually. A convincing line style is not proof of feasibility.
What the image cannot establish
- Generated geometry, text and proportions can be inconsistent. The output is not a CAD/BIM file, a verified dimensional drawing or an engineering calculation.
- No. This entry creates an image from a brief and layout settings. It does not provide editable walls, snapping, measured components or a CAD export. Do not use the concept to authorize construction, demolition or regulatory compliance.
Questions about this workflow
Is this a drag-and-drop CAD planner?
No. This entry creates an image from a brief and layout settings. It does not provide editable walls, snapping, measured components or a CAD export.
What input should I prepare?
Separate required rooms from optional spaces and rank the three adjacencies you care about most.
How should I review named rooms, a chosen outline and priorities?
Tick off every required room and flag duplicate rooms before discussing visual polish.
What should happen before implementation?
Provide measured site information to a qualified designer, resolve the assumptions in the concept and prepare the appropriate coordinated drawings and approvals.
