A guided brief
Describe the program, approximate size, room needs, adjacencies, parking, and circulation in a structured sequence.
Early building concepts
See the idea before it becomes a drawing set.
VisionMatch turns a plain-language brief into practical layout directions you can compare, explore, and use in an early conversation with a designer or builder.
No account or contact information is needed to begin. VisionMatch creates early planning concepts, not construction drawings, engineering advice, bids, or permit documents.
Concept planningCompare layouts, then explore the selected direction in more detail.
From needs to options
Turn what you know into something you can see.
Start with the building purpose, footprint, rooms, and priorities. VisionMatch uses that brief to create comparable concepts with practical context.
Options you can compare
Review alternative room-zone arrangements with areas, plan-fit notes, and key considerations presented side by side.
A concept you can explore
Open a selected direction in 2D and 3D, inspect its spaces, and carry the brief into the next professional conversation.
Inside VisionMatch
Compare before you commit to a direction.
Each option explains its arrangement and planning tradeoffs so you can decide which concept is worth discussing further.
1Use the same brief to compare multiple layout directions.
2Review room areas, circulation, and plan-fit notes in plain language.
3Share a clearer starting point with a licensed local professional.
How it works
From a brief to a useful first concept.
A short guided flow turns early requirements into options that are easier to discuss and refine.
Describe the building
Choose the purpose and footprint, then add the spaces, relationships, access, and circulation priorities that matter.
Compare the directions
Review generated options side by side and inspect the arrangement, room program, fit, and planning notes for each.
Explore and discuss
Open the selected concept in greater detail, explore its 3D view, and use the result to support the next conversation.
Useful at the beginning
For people shaping a building idea before detailed design.
- Building owners
- Homeowners
- Early project teams
- Design conversations
- Builder consultations
- Program planning
Planning boundary
A concept is a starting point.
A licensed local professional must validate the site, structure, utilities, building code, accessibility, and permits before construction decisions are made.

Do I need an account to use VisionMatch?
No account or contact information is required to use the public concept planner. Automated abuse protections may ask you to complete a verification.
What does VisionMatch create?
VisionMatch uses a guided building brief to generate comparable layout concepts and a 2D and 3D view of the selected direction. Some briefs may be infeasible and need adjustment.
Are the concepts construction drawings?
No. These are early planning concepts. A licensed local professional must validate the site, structure, utilities, code, accessibility, permits, and construction documents.
Does the team calculator activate a subscription?
No. It produces a planning estimate and carries your selections into a conversation with HAT. Paid team accounts, subscriptions, and online checkout are not available through this page.
