Generate Building Floor Plans in Minutes via Floorplanner

Building floor plans normally are attached together with other documents when you buy a new dwelling from the developer or builder. However, an old house might not come ready with the plans. The building floor plans for old buildings might have been lost or misplaced and thus, new owners would have to DIY or generate their own floor plans for renovation, emergency or record purposes. As this may not be easy, web-service like Floorplanner can be of great help.

Floorplanner allows users to quick create some interactive floor plans using their browsers without any download or installation. The service features a handful of tools and library objects which can be dragged and dropped into the drawing board and get the house floor plans ready in minutes. Users can thence save the plan, print it out and even embed it to blogs or websites for sharing.

To get started, users need to register for an account with Floorplanner. The registration is very simple, fast and free. Users just need to key in their email address and password to start a free account. The free account limits users to create the floor plan for only one house.

The drawing exercise is simple and fast. Users can drag the drawing tools from the tool box to start their building layout.
