Why architect-drawn plans matter

Free online floor-plan tools have limits. Tools like Floorplanner, Planner 5D and Roomle are great for early-stage visualisation — drag-drop layout, see proportions, share with family. But they aren't CMDA-acceptable for approval, and they don't account for Tamil Nadu-specific rules (FSI, setback, plot coverage, parking). For construction, you need architect-stamped drawings.

A bad plan costs more than a good architect. Construction defects from poor planning (wrong setback, awkward kitchen layout, undersized bedrooms, missed plumbing routing) typically cost ₹2-15 lakh to fix after construction. A complete architectural plan set is ₹25,000-65,000. Cheap insurance.

3D rendering catches problems before construction. A 2D plan is hard to read — most homeowners can't tell from a floor plan whether their living room will feel cramped or spacious. 3D rendering shows you the actual space at human eye-level, so you can change room sizes, door positions, window placement, before any wall is built.

Editable DWG source is non-negotiable. We deliver every plan as PDF (for printing/sharing) PLUS the AutoCAD/DWG source file. The DWG lets any future architect or contractor open, measure, and modify the plan. Many architects deliver only PDF — that locks you to them for any future changes. Always insist on DWG.

Frequently asked

How much do architectural house plans cost in Chennai?
2D floor plan PDF: ₹6,500-15,000. Full architectural plan set (2D + elevation + sections): ₹25,000-65,000. 3D rendered drawings: ₹6,500-18,000 per view. Complete CMDA submission set: ₹65,000-1.85 L. Pricing depends on plot size and project scope. See the full price list above.
Can I get house plans in PDF format?
Yes — all our architectural plans are delivered as high-resolution PDF files PLUS editable AutoCAD/DWG source files. PDFs are suitable for printing, sharing with vendors and CMDA submission. The DWG source lets you (or any future architect) modify the plan — this is critical, never accept PDF-only delivery from any architect.
Can I design my house plan online for free?
For early-stage exploration, free online floor plan tools (Floorplanner, Planner 5D, Roomle) can help you visualise layout. But these aren't CMDA-acceptable for construction approval, and they don't apply Tamil Nadu-specific rules (FSI, setback, parking, plot coverage). Homeli offers a free initial consultation where a registered architect drafts a rough layout from your site dimensions and requirements — gives you a real starting point.
Do I need an architect's plan for CMDA approval in Chennai?
Yes — CMDA / CMA approval requires drawings stamped by a registered architect or licensed engineer. Homeli handles the full approval flow: plan preparation, document collation, CMDA submission, follow-up with officials, and sanction letter delivery. Typical approval timeline: 8-14 weeks depending on site location and zone.
Can I get architectural plans with photos / reference designs?
Yes — our complete plan package includes a reference design board with 4-8 photos of similar completed houses (interior + exterior). For 3D rendered packages, we deliver photorealistic views of YOUR house design — not generic references — so you see exactly how your home will look.
How long does it take to get architectural drawings?
2D floor plan PDF: 4-6 days. 3D rendered views: 7-10 days. Complete architectural plan set: 10-14 days. CMDA submission package: 14-20 days plus 8-14 weeks for approval. All timelines start from initial consultation + design brief sign-off.
Do you provide architectural drawings as PDF or only AutoCAD?
Both — PDF for printing and submission, plus the editable AutoCAD/DWG source file. PDF lets you share with contractors and family; DWG lets any future architect/contractor open and modify. We strongly recommend you always insist on the DWG source from any architect.
