Flatworld Solutions Successfully Converted Hand Drawn Floor Plans to 2D CAD Files in Just 24 Hours Using SolidWorks

The Client

Flatworld Solutions was contacted by a real estate company. The client had hand-drawn sketches of floor plans and they wanted help turning those sketches into 2D floor plans, using an online tool called floorplanner.com. Additionally, they needed those floor plans created within 24 hours.

The client found Flatworld Solutions via the company website. They appreciated the fast response of the Flatworld Solutions team, and after a discussion with the business manager elected to trust their floor plan conversions with Flatworld Solutions.

The Challenge

Completing the project within 24 hours meant that there would be less time to fix any errors. This meant that Flatworld Solutions would have to be as accurate as possible with the first drafts. The website, FloorPlanner.com, is also not a common website or resource, which meant that the team at Flatworld had to familiarize themselves with the website and its functionality and train themselves on this uncommon tool.

There were also multiple sketches that were to be converted.

The Solution

The team did a trial project for the client and returned it in little time. After approval, the Flatworld Solutions put 6 resources on the project, all of whom were trained to use FloorPlanner.com. The team worked primarily only to covert the hand drawn sketches of the floor plans, and saved them on FloorPlanner.com so that they could be easily reviewed by the client.

The Results

The project was delivered before the 24 hour period was over, which exceeded client expectations. They were also able to achieve an accuracy rate of 98%, which was above the expected benchmark. The client was highly satisfied with the results of the project and immediately promised more work to the team.
