Zenerate
Zenerate is a web-based land-development feasibility application that pairs AI-generated site plans and floor plans with editable layouts, financial views, and exports to Revit, AutoCAD, Excel, and PDF.
Built for early-phase studies, Zenerate focuses on turning a site outline and program rules into multiple layout options you can refine in the browser. The workflow spans project setup, generation, floor-plan edits, financial analysis, and export, which matches how developer and architecture teams iterate before detailed BIM work begins.
According to the vendor, architects use it in live strategy sessions to explore massing schemes from unit mix and parking targets, then carry parking layouts and density scenarios into pro forma conversations (Zenerate, 2026). Contractors on the site describe using the same flow to test buildings against floor area ratio and unit counts, then applying construction-rate assumptions to support fast client decisions.
The product targets developers, architects, contractors, and commercial real estate brokers with different emphases, but the shared idea is one canvas for test fits instead of disconnected spreadsheets and static diagrams. Typical unit libraries let you save and reuse layouts across projects, while export paths aim to hand work to Revit and AutoCAD when a direction is chosen.
Pricing is not published on the marketing page; the FAQ directs teams to email the vendor for current subscription options. Because list pricing can change, treat any budget numbers as provisional until you confirm them on the official site or with sales.

Pros and cons
Pros
- Keeps generation, edits, and financial views in one browser workflow for early studies.
- Supports exports to Revit and AutoCAD when a scheme is ready for downstream modeling.
- Typical Unit library helps reuse unit designs across projects.
- Positioning covers both design-led and broker-led development conversations.
Cons
- Public pricing is not listed; you need vendor contact to quote subscriptions.
- Deep interoperability beyond stated exports depends on your standards and QA process.
- Building-library features for reusable buildings were noted as planned rather than guaranteed in the public FAQ.
Key features
Web workspace for feasibility projects with setup, generation, editing, financial review, and export stages in one flow.
AI-assisted layouts that propose site plans and floor plans from objectives such as floor area ratio, unit counts, floors, and unit mix.
Manual editing with drag-and-drop adjustments to generated plans plus a Typical Unit library for reusable unit designs.
Financial views aimed at developers and brokers for yield, cost, and NOI-style comparisons during option studies.
Exports including 3D Revit models, AutoCAD floor plans, Excel project data, and PDF feasibility reports per vendor FAQ.
Roles called out for developers, architects, contractors, and CRE brokers, each with workflow notes on the marketing site.

Frequently asked questions
Is Zenerate free?
The public marketing site does not advertise a permanent free tier. The FAQ states subscriptions are sold on monthly or annual terms and asks teams to email contact@zenerate.ai for pricing, so treat costs as quoted.
Does Zenerate export to Revit or AutoCAD?
The FAQ lists export of a 3D Revit model and AutoCAD floor plans, along with Excel project data and a PDF feasibility report. Always verify export fidelity on a pilot project before relying on it in production deliverables.
What site inputs does Zenerate use?
The workflow begins with project setup where you define the site and constraints. Generation then uses objectives such as floor area ratio, unit mix, number of units, and number of floors to propose layouts you can edit.
Can you edit AI-generated floor plans in Zenerate?
Yes. The vendor states you can start from scratch or adjust auto-generated layouts with drag-and-drop editing, and you can maintain typical unit designs in a library for reuse.
Who is Zenerate meant for in AEC and real estate?
The site names developers, architects, contractors, and CRE brokers. Developers and brokers lean on yield and test-fit speed, architects on live optioning with clients, and contractors on quick layouts aligned to program and cost checks.
How does Zenerate compare to spreadsheet-only feasibility workflows?
It pairs layout geometry and parking organization with financial views instead of isolating numbers from plans. Teams still need to validate assumptions, but the intent is fewer handoffs between diagrams and pro forma tables during early study work.
