Higharc Overview

Higharc — One Model. One Truth.

What it is
A connected platform for production homebuilders that unifies design, sales, estimating, and construction in a single, always-in-sync model.

Why it matters
Constant changes create rework, delays, and unhappy buyers. Higharc replaces scattered files and redraws with one source of truth so teams move faster with fewer mistakes.

Design (faster than CAD)

  • Generative environment built for homebuilding (not retrofitted CAD).

  • Manage plans, options, elevations, and communities in one intelligent model.

  • Adapt to new lots/markets without starting over; cut redraws and rework.

  • Teams report orders-of-magnitude speed-ups vs. manual drafting.

Estimate (automated & live)

  • Master and lot-specific takeoffs generated automatically from the model.

  • Purchasing data stays in sync; export cleanly to ERP.

  • Use virtual walkthroughs to reduce bid risk and surface issues early.

  • Make cost-aware choices with real-time quantities and pricing.

Sell (modern buyer experience)

  • Interactive showroom with high-quality 3D tied to what’s buildable.

  • Lot-specific options and live pricing prevent mismatches later.

  • Create accurate, personalized brochures instantly—no third-party back-and-forth.

  • Improve margins and buyer satisfaction with clear, visual choices.

Build (permit-ready & field-friendly)

  • Automatic, permit-ready, lot-specific CDs—no manual drafting.

  • Plans stay 100% in sync with buyer selections and design changes.

  • Crews reference coordinated 3D in the field to avoid unforced errors.

  • Implement changes quickly; updates propagate across the entire set.

What you gain

  • Less rework, fewer surprises, and tighter handoffs.

  • Shorter schedules and lower per-home costs.

  • Consistent documents, happier buyers, and a repeatable path from design → close.

Who it’s for
Production builders and teams across design, sales, estimating/purchasing, and operations who want one model powering the entire lifecycle.

Higharc Demo with Ardavan Bidgoli | From Plans to Live 3D Models

April 24, 2025 · 16 min

Higharc Senior ML Engineer Ardavan Bidgoli demos how static plan PDFs become live, editable 3D models in seconds. Tools like AutoScale, AutoLayout, and AutoEntity recognize rooms and fixtures, syncing quantities and costs automatically. Updates flow through drawings, takeoffs, and pricing instantly, giving homebuilders one connected source of truth across teams.
