Jobplans is a browser-based floor plan creator built for contractors and estimators: draw a to-scale plan with snap-to-grid tools, then measure and take off directly from the plan you drew. No PDF upload required, no install, and full feature parity on Mac, Windows, iPad, iPhone, Android, and Chromebook. ## What is a floor plan creator? A floor plan creator is a tool for drawing a building's layout when you do not have a drawing set to start from. Where a blueprint measurement tool measures an existing PDF, a floor plan creator produces the drawing itself. Jobplans does both in one browser tool: draw a plan from scratch, or open an existing PDF, then measure either way. The result of drawing in Jobplans is a real, to-scale drawing — not a sketch. That means every measurement and takeoff tool works on a plan you drew exactly as it would on an uploaded set of plans. This is floor plan software for contractors, not interior design. The point is not a pretty render — it is a to-scale plan you can take off. Draw a floor plan to scale, rebuild an as-built from a site visit, or rough out a layout for a bid, then measure it directly. No consumer drag-and-drop furniture catalog and no CAD learning curve. ## From blank sheet to measurable blueprint 1. **Start from a blank canvas.** Open a blank sheet, set your scale once (1/4" = 1'-0", 1:50, or any custom ratio), and start drawing. Snap-to-grid drafting and a live length readout keep every wall accurate as you place it — no measuring, no math. 2. **Draw walls to scale.** Click point to point to lay out walls. Endpoints snap together, dimensions update automatically, and the whole plan stays true to your chosen scale. 3. **Add doors, windows, and measure.** Drop in doors and windows that stay attached to their walls when you move or rotate them, label rooms, then measure and take off directly from the plan. Quantities flow into a live, exportable table. ## What makes it work - **Snap-to-grid wall drawing.** Draw walls point to point with endpoint snapping and a live length readout. The plan stays to scale without manual measuring. - **Doors and windows that stay attached.** Place doors and windows directly into walls. They stay anchored when you move or rotate a wall, so the plan never breaks. - **To-scale from the first line.** Set the scale once and every dimension is accurate from the start. - **Measure and take off your own plan.** Run linear, area, polyline, angle, radius, and count measurements on a drawn plan just like an uploaded PDF. - **No CAD, no install, any device.** Runs in the browser on Mac, Windows, iPad, iPhone, Android, and Chromebook. No download and no Windows-only dependency. - **Export and share.** Push quantities to CSV for estimating, or share a live link with your team, subs, and clients with version control intact. ## Who draws floor plans from scratch **Contractors without a drawing set** A homeowner describes a remodel, or a small job has no plans. Sketch the layout to scale and bid it the same day instead of waiting on an architect. **Estimators on as-built work** Walk a space, capture rough dimensions, and rebuild the floor plan in the browser to run a clean takeoff. **Trades quoting from a site visit** Flooring, paint, drywall, concrete — draw the room shapes once and measure areas and lengths directly off your own plan. **Anyone replacing pen-and-paper sketches** Trade napkin drawings for a clean, to-scale plan that you can measure, export, and share without redrawing it in CAD. ## Draw it, or open an existing PDF A floor plan creator and a measurement tool are two halves of the same job. When you have drawings, open the PDF and measure. When you do not, draw the plan first. For the measurement side see the [blueprint measurement tool guide](/blueprint-measurement-tool), and for the full workflow see the [construction takeoff software guide](/construction-takeoff-software). ## Pricing The floor plan drawing tools are included in every Jobplans plan.

Jobplans lets you draft a to-scale plan with snap-to-grid tools, then measure and take off directly from the plan you drew. No CAD software and no PDF upload required. **Can I create a floor plan from scratch without CAD software?** Yes. Jobplans runs entirely in your browser, so there is nothing to install and no CAD experience required. You draw walls by clicking points, drop in doors and windows that snap to the walls, and the tool keeps everything to scale automatically. **How do I draw a floor plan to scale?** Set your scale once, then draw. Snap-to-grid drawing and live dimension feedback show the exact length of each wall as you place it, so the plan stays accurate without manual measuring. **Do I need to install software to make a blueprint?** No. Jobplans is browser-based and runs on Mac, Windows, iPad, iPhone, Android, Chromebook, and Linux with full feature parity. A 7-day free trial requires no credit card. **Can I measure and take off from a floor plan I drew?** Yes. A plan you draw in Jobplans is a real, to-scale drawing, so you can run linear, area, polyline, angle, radius, and count measurements on it just like an uploaded PDF, and export quantities to CSV. **What is the difference between a floor plan creator and a blueprint measurement tool?** A blueprint measurement tool measures an existing drawing; a floor plan creator lets you draw the drawing itself when you do not have one. Jobplans does both in the same browser tool. **Can I use the floor plan creator on a Mac or iPad?** Yes. Because Jobplans runs in the browser, the floor plan creator works natively on Mac, iPad, iPhone, Android, Chromebook, and Linux as well as Windows. ## Ready to draw your first plan?
