A common issue I’ve noticed is that people often have a 2D floorplan but still need to manually calculate approximate built up area, room areas, wall lengths, and a rough bill of materials before they can estimate cost or plan procurement.

I’m currently testing a workflow that takes a blueprint or floorplan and gives:

Approximate area calculations
Room wise breakdown
Wall and layout measurements
Basic material listing
Rough bill of materials
Early cost estimation support

It is still early, so I’m not claiming it replaces a professional quantity surveyor or engineer. But it can be useful for getting a faster first estimate before doing detailed validation.

If anyone here is a contractor, architect, interior designer, builder, or homeowner with a floorplan and wants an area approximation plus a basic bill of materials, feel free to DM me.

I’m happy to try it on a few real plans and share the output. Feedback would help me improve the workflow as well.

I run a small web development business and we have worked with around 45 clients so far. The funny thing is that building the websites is not the hardest part anymore. We can handle the work, revisions, delivery, and client communication. The part I am still trying to figure out is how to get new clients in a consistent and predictable way.

Until now, most clients came through referrals, friends of clients, local contacts, or people who saw our previous work. That has worked well, but it is not stable. Some months are full and some months I am wondering where the next few projects will come from. I do not want to spam people with cold messages or keep posting the usual “we build websites” content everywhere, because I know that usually turns people off.

I want to understand how people actually grow this kind of service business. Should I niche down into one type of client, like clinics, restaurants, coaches, construction companies, or local service businesses? Should I create content around website mistakes and case studies? Should I do cold email with free website audits? Or are partnerships and referrals still the best way?

For anyone who has grown a freelance or agency business, what would you do at this stage? And for business owners, what would make you trust a web developer enough to work with them?

The problem is simple, but painful.
Construction teams still spend hours reading 2D blueprints manually, calculating quantities, estimating costs, and updating numbers every time a design changes.
We’ve built an MVP that converts 2D construction blueprints into smart 3D models, detects key architectural elements, and helps generate quantity takeoffs and rough cost estimates.
It’s still early, but the direction is clear.
The goal is to build an AI system that helps contractors, architects, and construction teams move from drawings to decisions much faster.
I’m now looking to speak with founders, investors, operators, civil engineers, architects, and people who understand construction workflows.
Especially if you have experience in:
construction tech
AI SaaS
real estate tech
B2B software
early stage product building
fundraising or GTM
I’d love to connect, get feedback, and explore possible collaboration.
