SmartPlan AI

What is SmartPlan AI really doing for leasing teams on a tour. It’s simple — it drives engagement and creates marketing magic. When a broker walks a tenant through a space, showing up with a blank floor plan is just another tour. Showing up with three layouts and 3Ds — generated before or during the tour — changes the experience. It makes it memorable. Now the tenant team can see themselves in the space. They start planning, imagining, debating layouts. We've heard this happen. A 10-minute tour turns into a 45-minute conversation, and then you find out they've canceled the rest of their building tours for the day. These anecdotal stories is the WHY behind what we're building here at SmartPlan AI. https://lnkd.in/gdn9byG

What tools can you use to standout while on a building tour Picture this: A tenant is touring a vacant floor. The leasing team pulls out their tablet, clicks “Generate” on SmartPlan with the tenant’s program. Instantly, a completely customized layout appears — visually the tenant can finally see how they’d fit. But what really sells it? 👉 Switching to 3D. Not the generic CAD walkthrough everyone’s seen a thousand times. A vivid, realistic 3D virtual tour — accurate views, finishes, window lines. That’s when the tenant said: “I can actually see us here.” “Let’s move to an RFP.” That’s a real scenario. Smartplan AI doesn’t just make floor plans faster — it helps brokers move from showing space to selling vision. Deals close when tenants can picture themselves in the space, not just on the plan. https://lnkd.in/gdn9byG

Architects still needed for Testfits? In this next video, we dive into something every architect knows intimately: Drawing their first testfit — the never ending cycle of trying to keep up with the iterative/repetitive requests, while trying to get out before midnight. It’s not why most of us became architects in the first place. And it's exactly the part SmartPlan AI automates — the front end of the process that eats up time and creative energy. And yes, floor plans and traditional ways of doing things aren’t going anywhere. Architects will always be needed — but now they can focus on the parts that actually matter. The fun stuff. In this episode, we’ll cover: ✅ Why automation doesn’t replace architects — it empowers them ✅ The “front-end” work that drains time from high-value design ✅ How the industry is slowly bridging paper, software, and AI If you’ve ever stared at yet another blank Revit file thinking “not again,” this might help. https://lnkd.in/gdn9byG

Skip Physical Spec Suites? In this episode, we tackle a common question, can you skip building physical spec suites altogether, in lieu of high quality 3D virtual tours? No. Every market is different. Every tenant is different. And while 3D tours are great and sure more cost effective, tenants still need to experience the space, views, building, neighborhood and so on — 3D models are part of the future, but not the future. The real opportunity we have seen is combining both: ✅ Use 3D for speed, scale, and marketing reach ✅ Keep spec suites for emotional impact and turnkey leasing Let me know your thoughts! https://lnkd.in/gdn9byG

Can AI Replace Architectural Testfits This next video in our series looks at a simple question: If every architectural firm in Australia, London, Japan, and the U.S. is doing the same manual testfit process, why hasn’t it changed? Because the process never really evolved — it’s still architects drafting in Revit. It’s time-consuming. It’s expensive. Even Architects hate it. And in CRE office leasing, that delay can literally cost landlords and office brokers the deal. In this episode, we’ll break down: ✅ Why testfits haven’t evolved despite tech everywhere else ✅ How the manual process eats into responsiveness ✅ What it looks like when automation takes over this workflow If you’ve ever lost a deal because the testfit wasn’t ready in time, this may help tell you why! https://lnkd.in/gdn9byG

Why Care About AI When Marketing Office Space? This is the first in a video series we're launching based on conversations with hundreds of CRE professionals over the past year. Here's what we've learned: AI adoption in commercial real estate is all over the map. Some teams are diving in. Others haven't touched it. And when it comes to marketing office space specifically, automation is almost non-existent beyond the usual ads and databases. In this series, we’ll cover: ✅ How automated space planning tools can help (and sometimes hurt) your workflow ✅ Real insights from landlords, brokers, and marketing teams already using AI ✅ Practical takeaways to help you decide if and when to adopt these tools First up: Why should you care about automation in space planning. Hint, it should be two things really. Drop a comment if there's a specific question you'd like us to tackle in this series. https://lnkd.in/gdn9byG
