# GetFacade.ai > AI-powered architectural renovation platform combining design expertise with construction intelligence ## Service Overview GetFacade.ai is not just an image generator—it's an AI-powered architectural consultant and construction planning tool. Unlike generic AI image tools, GetFacade.ai understands real-world construction constraints, material properties, structural requirements, and renovation goals. Users describe their renovation objectives, and the system provides comprehensive architectural solutions with actionable implementation guidance. The platform bridges the gap between creative vision and practical execution, helping users make informed decisions about materials, costs, structural modifications, and design feasibility before construction begins. https://getfacade.ai https://app.getfacade.ai ### Construction Planning Controls Beyond visual preferences, users manage: - **Structural Preservation**: Define non-negotiable building elements - **Material Compatibility**: System validates material combinations - **Budget Tiers**: Filter options by cost levels - **Climate Suitability**: Get weather-appropriate recommendations - **Maintenance Requirements**: Balance aesthetics with long-term upkeep - **Construction Complexity**: Understand labor skill requirements - **Timeline Implications**: Identify quick wins vs. major renovations ## Target Audience ### Primary Users - **Homeowners Planning Renovations**: Not just browsing designs, but solving real construction problems—rotting siding replacement, energy efficiency upgrades, adding structural elements like porches - **Contractors & Builders**: Creating client proposals with accurate material specifications and construction feasibility documentation - **Real Estate Investors**: Assessing renovation ROI with realistic material costs and labor complexity estimates - **Architects & Designers**: Rapid prototyping with construction-ready specifications, not just visual concepts - **Property Managers**: Planning cost-effective maintenance and upgrade strategies across portfolios ### Real-World Use Cases - **Problem-Solving Renovations**: "My wood siding is rotting—show me durable, low-maintenance alternatives" - **Budget-Driven Planning**: "I have $15K—what's the best value exterior upgrade?" - **Structural Additions**: "Can I add a covered entrance? What would it look like and require structurally?" - **Material Selection**: "Compare fiber cement vs. vinyl siding for my climate and budget" - **Contractor Briefing**: Generate detailed specs and visualizations for accurate bid requests - **Code Compliance**: Identify potential regulatory issues before construction begins - **Historical Restoration**: Match period-appropriate materials with modern durability requirements - **Energy Efficiency**: Visualize insulation upgrades, better windows, reflective roofing - **Resale Strategy**: Balance renovation costs with market value increase ## Pricing & Plans - **Free tier**: 5 designs to start, topped up daily. No card required. Estimates, albums and blueprints are not included in the free tier. - **Facade Kit**: $29 one-time purchase, bound to a single building. Unlocks the full path for that building: explore designs, cost estimate, PDF album, contractor-ready blueprints. No expiry, no subscription. Extensions (+50 designs, +1 album) raise the caps on the same building. - **Pro Plan**: $59/month subscription for contractors. Facade Kit level capabilities on every building the account owns, plus white-label output, priority queue, unlimited buildings and references. - **Pro Pass**: $12.99 one-time (lifetime). Pay once, no subscription. Better token economics for token-based usage. - **Token packages**: one-time top-ups from $3.99 (150 tokens) to $35.99 (1500 tokens). Tokens are spent on renders and blueprints. Purchases work on the web at app.getfacade.ai (card payments handled by Paddle as merchant of record, with localized tax-inclusive prices) and inside the iOS and Android apps (Apple App Store / Google Play in-app purchases). Prices above are USD reference prices; the exact localized price is shown at checkout. ## Key Differentiators ### Not Just Image Generation—Construction Intelligence 1. **Construction-Aware AI**: Understands building physics, material properties, structural constraints, and construction sequences—not just visual aesthetics 2. **Goal-Oriented Design**: Users define renovation objectives (budget, durability, energy efficiency) rather than just visual preferences 3. **Actionable Documentation**: PDF albums with material specifications, safety recommendations, regulatory notes, and contractor briefing sheets 4. **Feasibility Analysis**: System validates structural changes, material compatibility, and construction complexity 5. **Cost Context**: Material selection includes pricing tiers and labor complexity estimates 6. **Complete Project Planning**: From initial concept through multiple building angles to contractor-ready specifications 7. **Iteration with Context**: Design history tracks not just visuals but complete material and structural decisions 8. **Professional Workflow**: Tools designed for contractor proposals, client presentations, and construction planning—not social media posts ## Core Functionality ### Goal-Oriented Renovation Planning Users don't just generate images—they define renovation objectives: - **Structural Goals**: "I want to add a covered porch" or "Need to replace rotting wood siding" - **Budget Constraints**: Material selection based on cost-effectiveness and durability - **Climate Considerations**: Weather-appropriate materials and construction methods - **Style Preferences**: Architectural coherence with neighborhood or historical context - **Functional Requirements**: Energy efficiency, maintenance reduction, curb appeal improvement The AI interprets these goals and generates designs that are both visually appealing and practically achievable. ### Project Structure & Management - **Projects**: Organize complete renovation plans for a property - **Angles**: Multiple views of the building (main facade, sides, rear, details) - **Concepts**: Design iterations with complete settings history for comparison - **Main vs. Secondary Views**: Main angle establishes design direction, secondary angles show comprehensive implementation ### Construction-Aware AI Generation Unlike generic image generators, GetFacade.ai understands: - **Material Properties**: Weight, durability, installation methods, compatibility - **Structural Constraints**: Load-bearing considerations, foundation requirements - **Building Codes**: Safety recommendations and regulatory compliance notes - **Construction Sequence**: What needs to be done first, dependencies between changes - **Cost Implications**: Material pricing tiers, labor complexity levels Users specify through: - **Architectural Styles**: Purpose-selected for structural feasibility (modern, colonial, craftsman, etc.) - **Construction Materials**: Real-world options with installation context (vinyl siding, brick veneer, natural stone, fiber cement) - **Structural Control Masks**: Preserve load-bearing elements, windows, rooflines - **Reference Projects**: Copy proven construction approaches from real buildings - **Renovation Prompts**: "Replace with low-maintenance materials" or "Add insulation during re-siding" ### Professional Construction Documentation - **PDF Albums**: Comprehensive renovation plans with: - Material specifications (brands, types, quantities guidance) - Construction safety recommendations - Regulatory compliance notes - Step-by-step implementation guidance - Cost estimation frameworks - Contractor communication sheets - **Output Formats**: - Photorealistic renders for client presentations - Technical sketches for contractor briefings - High-resolution images for detailed material texture review - **Structural Control Tools**: - Mark critical building elements (foundations, load-bearing walls, roof structure) - Guide AI to maintain building integrity during redesign - **Reference Library**: - Upload real construction projects as style guides - Copy proven renovation approaches - Learn from successful material combinations ## Guides In-depth English guides on the GetFacade site explaining how the product works on real house photos: - AI exterior house design on a photo of your real house: https://getfacade.ai/guides/ai-exterior-house-design - Curb appeal visualizer, see upgrades on your house before you spend: https://getfacade.ai/guides/curb-appeal-visualizer - Siding and paint visualizer, try materials and colors on your house: https://getfacade.ai/guides/siding-paint-visualizer Guides index: https://getfacade.ai/guides
