Arqgen
Arqgen is a Brazil-focused web platform for generative architecture and land feasibility that turns survey-style site inputs and municipal zoning rules into comparable implantation scenarios, with exports to DWG and spreadsheet outputs and optional Revit export on advanced plans.
Buying land for development in Brazil often means repeating slow massing exercises while reconciling local zoning, earthworks, and parking logic by hand. Arqgen markets itself as generative architecture software that compresses early viability work by structuring urban rules per municipality and zone, then generating multiple implantation options you can compare side by side (Arqgen, 2026).
Typical inputs include terrain in DWG or KMZ with topographic reading, critical areas, and slope constraints, plus zoning parameters such as height limits, setbacks, and coefficients. Outputs highlighted on the public site include DWG for layouts, XLSX tables of quantities, PDF documentation packages, and Revit export positioned as available on advanced plans rather than every tier (Arqgen, 2026).
The vendor publishes usage-scale signals such as more than one thousand generated solutions per month, which indicates recurring production use beyond one-off trials (Arqgen, 2026). Customer quotes on the same page include a roughly thirty-three percent reduction in massing study time for at least one workflow, which is useful context but should be treated as anecdotal until validated on your own projects (Arqgen, 2026).
You do not need to be an architect to operate the product according to its FAQ, yet it does not replace full detailed design. Confirm licensing, Revit export eligibility, and municipal coverage with Arqgen before relying on outputs for bids, financing, or permitting (Arqgen, 2026).

Pros and cons
Pros
- Strong Brazil municipal zoning framing for structured early studies
- Multiple export paths including DWG and spreadsheets, with Revit export on higher tiers
- Public materials include clear disclaimers about what the platform does not replace
Cons
- Geographic and legal focus is Brazil-first; other countries need separate validation
- Custom typologies may require onboarding time measured in weeks per vendor FAQ
- Some features such as advanced garage tooling are explicitly marked beta
Key features
Site import: Bring terrain in DWG or KMZ and work with topographic cues, critical areas, and slope-related constraints described by the vendor.
Zoning rules: Configure municipal zoning inputs such as coefficients, setbacks, and height limits so generated massing stays inside stated legal framing.
Generative scenarios: Produce multiple implantation alternatives with earthworks, circulation, and parking considerations depending on the scenario.
Exports: Download DWG layouts, XLSX quantity tables, and PDF documentation; Revit export is described as part of advanced plans.
Garage workflow (beta): Position parking across levels with tooling the vendor labels as beta on public pages.
Collaboration story: Marketing emphasizes faster alignment between business development, incorporation management, and technical teams during early decisions.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need to be an architect to use Arqgen?
The vendor states that architects and urbanists benefit most, but formal architecture credentials are not required to operate the platform.
Does Arqgen replace full construction documents?
No. The FAQ positions Arqgen as support for early evaluation and decision-making before deeper studies, not as a substitute for complete detailed design.
Can Arqgen export to Revit?
The homepage states Revit export exists for advanced plans. Confirm your subscription tier and export options with Arqgen before planning a BIM workflow.
Which file formats can I import?
Public pages highlight terrain import through DWG and KMZ as part of the standard workflow.
How long does onboarding take?
The FAQ contrasts minutes to begin with vendor typologies versus about two weeks when configuring custom typologies, depending on your setup.
Does Arqgen apply real municipal zoning rules?
The FAQ explains that urban rules are configured per municipality and applicable zoning so the engine can apply them consistently across generated scenarios.
