Higharc provides a SaaS tool that streamlines the sale and building of residential homes.
The cloud-based platform automates the design and planning process for developers who are building new communities.
Higharc creates 3D models for each house in the community.
The developer’s sales team can use the 3D models to guide future homeowners as they choose add-on features. As they select features, the
customizations immediately appear on the 3D model and the home’s price adjusts accordingly.
The platform also provides 3D tours of the homes’ interiors.
Once the 3D model is finalized, Higharc automatically drafts permit-ready plans for the builders.
Higharc
also recently debuted an AI-powered feature that converts 2D hand drawings to 3D BIM models.
One developer credited Higharc with reducing the time between contract signing and groundbreaking from three months to three weeks.
Higharc raised $53M in Series B funding last year at a $233M valuation.
