How it works
Draw, publish, share, follow up.
Four steps, all of them inside QuickCasa. Nothing is exported, nothing is uploaded to a third party, and nothing has to be redone when the drawing changes.
Step one: draw the plan
Drawing happens in the QuickCasa portal, in the layout editor. Everything is measured, not sketched.
Pick what you are drawing
A unit layout for a single suite, a building floor plate for a storey, or a site plan for the property as a whole. The choice sets the palette of rooms available to you and how the plan is labelled later.
Lay out the spaces
Drop rooms onto a grid and shape them. A space can be a rectangle, a polygon, or have curved edges and rounded corners, so an L shaped suite or a bowed balcony is drawn as it is rather than approximated.
Add the things that are not rooms
Windows, doors of every kind, sliding and pocket doors, cased openings and walls run along an edge. Panels, water heaters, furnaces, thermostats, appliances, smoke detectors and points of interest sit at a spot.
Label it the way it reads best
A room label can be moved to any corner, rotated, resized and recoloured. A long narrow corridor gets a rotated label rather than one that overflows both ends of it.
Check the numbers
Areas come from the geometry, in the unit the drawing uses, and are totalled by category. Nothing is typed in, so nothing can disagree with the drawing.
Step two: decide who may open it
Visibility is a single setting on the plan, and it is the only thing standing between a drawing and the internet.
Draft
The plan is not reachable. A draft link returns the same answer as a plan that does not exist, so an unfinished drawing cannot be found by guessing.
Public
Anybody holding the link can open it. Optionally, ask for a name and an email address first, which is the unlock form.
Private
The plan opens for a passcode and nothing else. A passcode protected plan does not even give up its name until the code is right.
Step three: share it
Three ways out, and they are not alternatives to each other.
A direct link
The plain address of the plan. Paste it into an email, a text message, a listing description or a reply from your leasing team.
A QR code
For the moment when somebody is standing in front of you. Print it on a sign at the property, on a flyer, or hold your phone up at a showing.
An embed
An iframe snippet that renders the plan inside your own listing page, without the reader leaving your website.
What the renter gets
The link opens a page carrying your branding, not ours. Your logo sits at the top, and where a company has no logo the page shows its name rather than inventing a mark for it.
The plan is framed to fit the screen on open, then panned and zoomed by dragging and pinching. Tapping a room brings up its name, its area, any note attached to it and any photographs, video or virtual tour it carries. A plan with several storeys puts each one on a tab.
Under the drawing there is an area breakdown by category, so somebody can see how the total is made up instead of being asked to take it on faith. Areas are described as approximate, because a drawing is a drawing.
If you have allowed it, the reader also gets a share button of their own, with the usual social destinations and a QR code for passing the plan to the person beside them.
Step four: what comes back
When a plan is behind an unlock form, the name and email address somebody types in becomes a lead in QuickCasa, attached to the property the plan belongs to. From there it behaves like any other lead: it can be worked, assigned, put in a cadence and followed up automatically.
A passcode unlock is counted rather than named, because nobody was asked who they were. The portal lists both kinds, so you can see how much traffic a plan is getting even when you cannot see who.
Comments, where you have turned them on, arrive for review. Nothing a stranger writes is ever published to other readers without somebody approving it first.
When the drawing changes
A published plan serves the current drawing. Save a change in the portal and the same link shows it, immediately, to everybody who has it. There is nothing to re export and nobody to resend it to.
That cuts both ways and is worth knowing before you start: there is no held back draft version of a plan that is already public. If a plan is published, editing it is editing what the public sees. Set a plan to draft first if you want to work on it privately.
Put a plan in front of your next renter.
Floorplans are part of QuickCasa, so the drawing, the listing and the lead it brings in all live in one place. Book a demo and we will show you what it looks like with your own properties.
