DURHAM, NC, February 13, 2025 — Higharc, the connected cloud platform for homebuilding operations, announced today Higharc AI, a suite of new AI capabilities that make using Higharc's 3D design tools easier and more accessible for conceptual design and prototyping.
“Every year, homebuilders across the U.S. waste weeks or months updating CAD files in decades-old software to get the critical things they need to run operations and sell their product to buyers,” said Marc Minor, CEO and Co-Founder of Higharc. "We want to help builders dramatically accelerate their product development with Higharc AI and enable the automatic generation of assets such as 3D models, master plan sets, material estimates, and an online buyer showroom.”
By leveraging advanced machine learning, Higharc AI analyzes and transforms any drawing, sketch, or floor plan image into a full 3D model online. AutoLayout, the first offering from Higharc AI, helps design teams get started in 3D in just minutes:
- Transforms your drawings and brochure floorplans into 3D designs to quickly explore, modify, and share with your team.
- Instantly detects room boundaries and types by analyzing key architectural features, then populates your model with essential 3D elements—including doors, windows, and fixtures.
- Fully integrated with Higharc’s Drafting, Estimating, and Sales tools, enabling you to generate construction documents, takeoffs, and marketing collateral so you can rapidly refine your home designs.
“Partnering with Higharc has the potential to transform our operations by integrating advanced technology into the homebuilding process,” said Ryan Young, Director of Architecture at Highland Homes. “With Higharc's AI, we could strategically respond faster to market demands and deliver visually engaging designs for our buyers with unmatched speed. This collaboration could be a win-win for both our team and our customers.”
Higharc AI will be available in early 2025 via a beta program to select customers and represents a significant advancement for the homebuilding industry to enhance team efficiency further, reduce costs, and improve the overall homebuilding process. To learn more about Higharc, visit higharc.com.
