Interactive floor plans and real-time cost estimates for commercial space

Commercial real estate brokers and fit-out contractors lose high-value leasing deals because traditional architectural floor plans take 2 weeks to draft and estimate.

Gridline converts live tenant requirements into interactive 2D and 3D floor plans within 5 minutes during client pitch meetings. The platform automatically applies localized commercial building constraints, spatial compliance rules, and parametric furniture layouts. Furthermore, every wall and fixture updates a live bill of materials and construction cost estimate instantly as you design.

Gridline accelerates commercial leasing velocity and contract closing rates across the $300B global workspace industry.

Problem
  • When I pitch commercial tenants, I want to show immediate office layout possibilities, but waiting 2 weeks for architectural CAD drafts causes deals to go cold.
  • Why Now: Hybrid work mandates rapid, flexible commercial space reconfigurations, creating unprecedented demand for instant preliminary spatial planning.
  • When I present space proposals, I want to give accurate fit-out budget estimates, but calculating material quantities from static PDFs requires hours of manual takeoff work.
  • When I collaborate with clients live, I want to modify floorplan partition walls on the fly, but heavy desktop BIM software requires specialized technical training.
  • Existing Alternatives: Desktop CAD software like Revit or AutoCAD, static PDF floor plans, physical tape measures, and manual Excel takeoffs.
Solution
  • High-Level Concept: Canva for Commercial Real Estate Space Planning and Instant Estimating.
  • Parametric spatial drawing canvas with automatic wall generation, door snaps, and dynamic desk density calculators.
  • Real-time 3D view generator that renders realistic textured walkthroughs directly in the browser with zero load delay.
  • Live estimation engine linking spatial components directly to regional labor and material cost databases.
Distribution
  • Commercial tenant representation brokers, interior fit-out contractors, and workspace design-build agencies.
  • Direct outreach to top commercial brokerage teams at firms like CBRE, JLL, and Cushman & Wakefield with tailored pilot offers.
  • Sponsorship of regional commercial real estate associations and hands-on workshops at tenant representative expos.
Pricing
  • Value Ladder: Free plan for 1 active project
  • Pro at $150 per seat monthly
  • Enterprise at $500 per team monthly with custom vendor pricing databases.
  • One Metric That Matters [OMTM]: Monthly Active Projects created and converted into active lease proposals.
  • Target Market Sizing: 50k commercial brokerage teams globally x $5k annual contract value = $250M SAM.
Scale Costs
  • High-performance WebGL rendering infrastructure and cloud asset streaming bandwidth.
  • Licensing fees for regional construction cost databases and localized commercial building code rulesets.
