Maket launches floor plan upload for residential design

Maket has launched its floor plan upload tool, enabling the platform to read an existing plan and turn it into a fully editable digital layout within minutes. After starting a project and choosing the upload option, users drop in a file, and the recognizer accepts common formats such as PDF, JPG, and PNG. Maket reports that conversion completes in under a minute for most plans, tracing walls, doors, and windows while detecting rooms and furniture automatically.

What lands on the canvas is a working model rather than a flat image. Every recognized element stays adjustable, so walls can be added or removed, rooms resized, and furniture rearranged through the same conversational workflow that drives Maket's generated plans. The tool reports what it picked up after each upload, listing recognized rooms, traced walls, identified openings, and detected fixtures, and it flags where confidence runs low, such as when scale cannot be calibrated reliably. The feature runs in beta, so some plans need a short cleanup after import. From there, the layout moves into 3D, viewable with applied finishes and styles from mid-century modern to coastal.

The upload path closes a long-standing gap for anyone working from a plan that already exists. Until now, bringing an outside layout into the platform meant redrawing it by hand, a step that falls apart once several rooms are in play. By reading a sketch, a listing PDF, or an older design file directly, Maket extends from new construction into renovation, where the starting point is almost always a plan on paper. The company calls upload one of its most requested capabilities, and the relaunch rebuilds an earlier version of the tool with stronger recognition accuracy and more room to edit after import.

Maket positions itself as an AI architect for residential design, aimed at homeowners, builders, real estate professionals, and architects who need to move through the early schematic phase quickly. CEO Patrick Murphy has framed the platform as handling roughly 70 to 75 percent of schematic work, with structural review and code compliance left to licensed professionals. The Montreal company publicly launched in 2023 and reports more than one million registered users on their v1. In October 2025, it raised $3.7 million CAD in seed funding led by Amiral Ventures, with Blitzscaling Ventures, BY Venture Partners, Hidden Layers, and Spatial Capital taking part, ahead of its v2 rollout. Floor plan upload sits inside that v2 workspace alongside conversational editing, interior visualisation, and CAD-compatible export, and requires a paid plan, with individual subscriptions starting around $20 per month and a free tier covering plan generation.
