How it works

  1. 1

    Upload your survey

    Drop a JPG or PDF of the topographic survey. It becomes a calibrated background layer.

  2. 2

    Set the scale

    Click two points with a known real distance. From now on every ruler shows real metres.

  3. 3

    Place objects

    Drop the house, well, septic and utilities. Sanitary radii update live so you see violations early.

  4. 4

    Share or export

    Send a link to your contractor, or download a clean PNG/PDF ready to print.

Features

Three things that matter on a plot plan

No CAD clutter — just what landowners and builders need before breaking ground.

AI assistant draws the plan for you

Describe your site in plain words — Bo draws an editable plot, house, garden and drainage plan. Add setback zones, verify them against local requirements, and adjust every object by hand.

Sanitary zones at a glance

Wells, septics and utilities draw their sanitary radius automatically. Violations are highlighted in red so you spot them while planning, not after building.

Start from parcel data when available

Use a supported cadastral or parcel reference as an editable planning base. If local data is unavailable, draw the boundary or import a reference file, then verify it against official records or a land survey.

Free floor plan maker for apartments and houses

Draw walls, doors, windows, furniture and stairs in real metres. Keep apartment layouts, house floors, basement, roof and document boards separate, then stack everything in 3D.

See your plot in 3D and walk through it

Switch the plan from 2D to a real 3D view in one click. Walk through the plot or house at eye level in the browser — with keyboard on desktop, a joystick on mobile, or a supported VR headset.

Sloped sites: terrain and water level

Place survey spot elevations and the 3D view builds the real ground relief through them. Set the construction zero mark and a water level — to simulate flooding, plan a house by a lake or design piers and footbridges over water.

Irrigation and drainage that compute themselves

Draw pipes, sprinklers and drip lines — gardmi shows each sprinkler's coverage, sums the water flow, picks pipe diameters, splits the system into zones and recommends a pump. Drainage checks the slope, depth and outlet the same way. Both end in a cost estimate.

Plan on a live satellite map of your plot

Turn on a live satellite, hybrid or scheme map under the drawing, find your plot by address, and design seeing the real surroundings — forest, water, fields, neighbours, roads and views.

Import a floor plan: RemPlanner, DXF, SVG

Designed the house in RemPlanner or a CAD app? Drop a .plan, DXF, SVG or JSON file onto gardmi — walls with real thickness and materials, rooms, columns and dimensions arrive ready, so you can place the house on the plot and plan everything around it.

Plant catalog

Choose garden plants by size and site conditions

The catalog shows mature height, crown diameter, root zone, watering, light and soil requirements — so plants on the plan stay tied to real planting constraints.

Material catalog

Building materials with prices and specifications

Every material in the editor has a catalog page: average prices per country, density, thermal conductivity and other passport values — the same data powers the project cost estimate.

FAQ

Is gardmi really free?

Yes. The full editor — drawing, sanitary zones, autosave, sharing, PNG/PDF export — is free to use. No paywall, no trial timer.

Do I need to register?

No. You can start drawing immediately; your project is saved to the cloud and tied to your browser. Sign in only if you want to access projects from another device.

Can gardmi load a plot boundary from a cadastral or parcel reference?

When a supported local data source is available, gardmi can use a cadastral or parcel reference as an editable planning start. Otherwise, draw the boundary or import a reference file. Always confirm legal boundaries against official records or a land survey.

How do I check septic and well distances?

Place the septic and well on the plan — sanitary radii draw automatically and violations turn red so you fix layout before construction.
