Turn a client's floor plan into a quote you can send today
It reads the square footage off the drawing and turns it into line items at your own rates.
Published . Steps as of November 2026.
Can AI read a floor plan and help me write a quote?
Yes. Attach the plan to ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini with your rates and ask for room sizes, line items and a total. ChatGPT is the strongest pick for reading drawings since its GPT-6.1 Terra update in October 2026, but all three can draft the quote. A clear PDF works better than a phone photo, and any number it can't read should be confirmed on site before you send.

Your prompt
Fill in your details. Skip any you like.
ChatGPT and Claude open with your prompt already typed in. Gemini can't be filled in from a link, so its button copies your prompt: paste it into the new chat.
The prompt that gets copied
I've attached a floor plan from a client. Read it carefully and help me quote the job. My business: [YOUR BUSINESS, e.g. Tidewell Flooring] The job: [JOB TYPE, e.g. new vinyl plank floors] Rooms in scope: [ROOMS IN SCOPE, e.g. kitchen, hall and two bedrooms] My rates: [YOUR RATES, e.g. $6 per sq ft installed] Extras I charge for: [EXTRA CHARGES, e.g. removal, $1 per sq ft] Please: 1. List each room in scope with its measurements and square footage, and show your math. 2. Flag anything on the plan that's hard to read or might change the price. 3. Build an itemized quote table: item, quantity, rate, line total, and a grand total. 4. Add a 4-sentence cover note to the client that's warm, clear and ends with one next step. Don't guess a measurement you can't read. Mark it "confirm on site".
Upload a client's floor plan or drawing with your rates. AI reads the rooms and sizes, lists the work and drafts an itemized quote with a friendly cover note.
