How Build My Home works, step by step
Build My Home links several ADIT programs behind one simple conversation. You only see questions, a 3D house and a report. This is what happens in between.
Preview version. You can try every step today. The 3D model, the engineering results, the furniture and the suppliers are sample data while we connect the live ADIT engineering programs. The finished report is a design aid and never replaces the drawings and calculations signed by a licensed engineer or architect for a building permit.
1. Your plot and your house
You give the size of the plot and of the footprint, whether it is a house or an apartment building, whether neighbouring buildings touch it, the number of floors, a pool or balcony, bedrooms or apartments, and parking. These answers become the brief for the design.
2. The design assistant (ADIVIT)
You describe the house in your own words. ADIVIT, ADIT’s architectural design program, turns the brief and the description into a 3D house with walls, floors, roof, doors, windows, stairs and rooms. You can then ask for changes in plain language.
3. The ground
Foundations depend on the soil. If you have a soil survey you can upload it; a soil file in JSON format is used to size the foundations, and other files (reports, plans) are listed in the report for your engineer. Without one, a standard ground is assumed and the report says so.
4. The structure (SPACESOFT)
The structure is analysed as a 3D frame under dead and live loads. Beams, columns and walls that are too weak are made bigger until they pass, slabs are thickened where the column punching check needs it, and block walls are checked against the wall standard. Anything that still fails is listed with advice instead of being hidden.
5. The foundations (GROUNDSOFT)
Each column or wall gets a footing designed on the ground. The ground’s own stiffness is fed back into the frame, so the column bases are not assumed rigid.
6. Furnishing (ADISKETCH)
You place furniture yourself, or the rooms are furnished automatically. Every piece has a size, and pieces from real suppliers carry their contacts.
7. The report and the walk
You get the views, the schedules, the structural and ground reports, the furniture and supplier lists, and a project file. Then you can walk through the house in 3D at eye height.
What it does not do
It does not produce permit drawings, it does not replace a licensed engineer, and it does not know your local planning rules. It helps you decide and arrive at your architect with a clear, checked starting point.
