Magicplan alternative without on-site visit
Magicplan needs an on-site camera scan. FloorScan analyzes your existing PDF plans remotely, in 30 seconds per storey. Ideal for engineering offices and developers who don't have the property at hand.
In one line
Magicplan is unbeatable if you're on-site with your phone. FloorScan wins for desk work on existing plans, and lets you analyze properties you don't have physical access to.
Why pick FloorScan over Magicplan
Remote work on PDFs
No need to be on-site. FloorScan analyzes PDF plans you received by email, at your desk, in seconds.
DXF with separate layers
Concrete, partitions, doors, windows, footprint — each on its own layer. Magicplan exports DXF but without this granularity.
Bulk analysis
With the Business API, process 100 plans automatically. Magicplan requires a manual scan per property.
