Floor plans provide an understanding of how a space will work. They quickly convey how the home flows, showing room sizes, which way doors swing, and storage space. Viewers gain an appreciation of where windows are and how the light will brighten a home that may not be immediately apparent from just still photos or a video. They give context for each room relative to the whole and help with planning and decision making. They can be downloaded as pdf, jpg, svg, or dxf.

"Home buyers don’t just want to see a floor plan as part of the listing, they think it’s essential information that must be provided with every listing. In fact, homeowners rated floor plans as the third most important part of a listing and more important than neighbourhood information. According to a study from Rightmove, one in five homeowners will even ignore a listing that doesn’t include a floor plan."

Square footage/floor areas attach value to a property and are used in real estate listings, comparable analysis, and Automated Valuation Models. Every iGUIDE provides detailed and defensible square footage analysis and typical iGUIDE square footage uncertainty easily meets the requirements of various property measurement standards (such as 2% for Alberta RMS).

You can feel confident about your choice to use iGUIDE because typical iGUIDE measurement uncertainty, in distance measurement on a floor plan, is 0.5% or better and the corresponding uncertainty in square footage is 1% or better. Standards stipulate maximum square footage errors of 2% and iGUIDE exceeds these requirements.Â
