Best Floor Plan Generator for Real Estate Photographers? CubiCasa Review!

[@mediaproimmo]

Wow that is amazing! Really nice to showcase an empty house . I tried a few apps to create a 2d floor plan but it wasn’t great. I will try cubicasa 👍

[@AndreiRestrepo]

Seriously crazy how easy it is and the products it can create. Especially the fact that you could use this on a cluttered home is wild. Thanks for watching man!

[@cubicasa4133]

Let us know how did you like the floor plans 😍

[@ellshots]

It's worth noting that it's only free in the US - Here in Australia it's $10-20 USD per floorplan for the 2D render

[@AndreiRestrepo]

That's a bummer! Hopefully they have plans of extending it all around for free. Thanks for noting!

[@ReidLucier]

ya, 9.99 USD for a floorplan here in Canada

[@shakeadog_photography]

Yes all up costs $31 AUD for a simple 2D floorplan, which I can get for around $11 2D colour with fixtures currently.

[@ellshots]

@@shakeadog_photography how? Where? :)

[@rorybroesder6104]

what service do you use currently?@@shakeadog_photography

[@davewmck]

They do want your payment information before processing the free floor plans. That’s a bit sketchy but I did it anyway

[@AndreiRestrepo]

How'd it work out? I think the results are great!

[@wildpatagoniafilms16]

Mind Blowing! A couple of questions: In order to scan the perimeter... it has to be done at once all over the whole property? meaning: we should not stop scanning to switch to another area or floor correct? All in one "video/scan take". Then we can get the 2D floor plan for free... and for the 3D and virtual "furniture/arrangement" it is better to get the bundle $150 which brings everything... I am going to give it a try! Thanks for the info! cheers!

[@AndreiRestrepo]

All correct! Yes, one entire scan. And yes, the $150 everything is the best deal in my opinion! Thanks for watching

[@JeffYoungbloodPhoto]

So I use Zillow 3D home tour now, which is free.. it's decent when it works, and sells pretty well since it's a low cost add on. I like the idea of the "doll house" feature of CubCasa without having to pay for a Matterport subscription. BUT, Cubicasa isn't a low cost sell to agents either. The Virtual Video tour is cool, but im curious how that works with a furnished home, and also if you're only scanning the floor boards.. Also, Zillow wont do Commercial buildings.. will CubiCasa scan Commercial?

[@AndreiRestrepo]

I just started using Zillow tour too, definitely prefer the stuff from CC but it his definitely on the pricer side for agents. I think they try their best to keep the existing furniture, or remove it and put virtual ones in if it's cluttered or vacant. And yes, I know of others that use it for commercial scanning for floor plans, but haven't personally tried it on the 3D products. Thanks for watching!

[@xTw1sTeDK1LLAx]

Giving away the secrets! Agents are going to just start doing this instead of paying photographers to do it once they figure out how simple it is.

[@AndreiRestrepo]

Haha maybe! But honestly doubt it. Some might, but almost always they'd rather hire a professional to just handle everything. Thanks for watching!

[@xTw1sTeDK1LLAx]

@AndreiRestrepo out here in NJ, they will find any way to save money. Even if it sacrifices quality, unfortunately.

[@MemeAnthem82]

i see what you're afraid of but bro isn't doing a 25Mil view exosing those secrets so it's ok lol @@xTw1sTeDK1LLAx

[@FLBRI]

How well does it work with furniture in the home already ?

[@AndreiRestrepo]

Great! I think it'll try to use the existing furniture unless it's a cluttered room and then it's replaced with virtual furniture. Thanks for watching!

[@markpalmos]

very nice, but waiting hours for a 2d floor plan is a bit lame... perhaps faster now?

[@AndreiRestrepo]

yeah, that is a bit of a bummer. but since we deliver the photos next day, it's ready by then so we can just send it with the photos at the same time

[@clintdame9278]

Is the 3D bundle possible with just a baseboard scan or does it require more of a wall scan? Not sure how Cubicasa can pickup vaulted ceilings and window heights without a scan of those areas. Could you clarify? Thank you for the video.

[@AndreiRestrepo]

Thanks! Not sure either, some magic AI happening with it. You just scan towards the base boards and then it can pick up the rest, honestly not sure how they do it!

[@edwardrtt]

what if the house already has furniture in it? will it still work?

[@AndreiRestrepo]

Definitely! I have a lot more updated content on my channel about real estate photo & video if you’re interested. Thanks for watching!

[@AverageXboxGamer]

I would like to see how this turns out in a more traditional furnished home 😊

[@AndreiRestrepo]

Same! I'm going to be using it more for sure.

[@victorkimura1]

@AndreiRestrepo, try it in your own home with your furniture.😂

[@AndreiRestrepo]

Honestly, my wife wants me to so we can see if better decorated and get ideas lol

[@FlippedSociety]

What file formats would these be presented as in an MLS listing? .jpegs and a video link for 3D tour?

[@AndreiRestrepo]

Correct! It gives you jpg + png and then you would just have to upload the video somewhere like YT for example. Thanks for watching!

[@donk18362]

that's really impressive that it can do all of that! have you checked how accurate the measurements come out?

[@AndreiRestrepo]

I haven’t personally, I found that some tried and it wasn’t 100% accurate, like maybe off by a little bit. I think it can vary by space! I’d try it out yourself and have a regular method to test the measurements and compare. Thanks for watching!

[@JeepTJWheelin]

This is a great option. Just wondering, what phone are you using? The results look amazing!

[@AndreiRestrepo]

Thanks! I use an iPhone 13 Pro but I don’t think having a the latest phone impacts the final result as much!

[@JeepTJWheelin]

@@AndreiRestrepo Thanks

[@corydwyer377]

Andrei, great video as usual. So would my Intsa360 X3 work on this too? Also did you think the furniture looked kind of fake?

[@AndreiRestrepo]

Thanks! Hmm, I don’t think so. It has to be shot through their app on your phone I believe! And yes I did, but it’s meant to be a virtual rendered video, it to pass as a real one. So in that case I think it’s super impressive. Thanks for watching!

[@dddavid132]

when I scan it doesnt show the 3d lines when mapping

[@AndreiRestrepo]

Hmm, maybe there’s been an app update since then? If not, I would try it out first on your home or something to see if it’s working properly

[@shawn-paulluchin603]

Thank you for this content. Question. If a property is furnished to staged. Can the 3d video include the furniture that is there?

[@AndreiRestrepo]

Thanks! That's a good question, as far as I know, I think it'll replace the furniture. Not sure if there's an option now where it can keep the same furniture.

[@braydn_walker]

How is it able to create a video render of ceiling heights or anything higher than 4 feet if you’re always pointing the camera at the floorboards. For instance, it knew the upper part of the fireplace design without you even showing it?

[@AndreiRestrepo]

For real!! I honestly don't know. I was just as surprised as you and they won't reveal their secrets haha. I noticed the fireplace too and thought the same thing. Thanks for watching!

[@gregoryhill1639]

How much roughly does it cost per floor plan? Or as a user do you pay a monthly subscription?

[@AndreiRestrepo]

I believe the 3D marketing pack costs us $150 and then you can set your own rates for what you charge for it. Like some shooters double the cost or something like that

[@rahimqureshi6484]

What anout for non vacant homes? Like if there are couchws or things in fromt of the baseboards? Akso if the house id multple floors do you take multiple scans? And them are you charged per floor?

[@AndreiRestrepo]

So I believe if there is existing furniture they try to replicate it the best they can, and yeah even if there's furniture in front of the base boards, it still does it fine! This home had a 2 story and it was just one charge, you can put in the app you are scanning another floor

[@kmooney000]

Does the 3D video rendering replace the furniture that is already there if it's not an empty home?

[@AndreiRestrepo]

Yes! That’s even crazier. So works great if you have a cluttered/not nicely staged home and want to show what it could look like staged nicely. Thanks for watching!

[@cooper1979]

Hi Andre It's me again! I recently used Cubicasa for my first floor plan and it's so easy to use. The result is great too. Just wondering do you think real estate photographer still need to know how to do the actual measuring for the floor plan or the app like CubiCasa is good enough. Thanks

[@AndreiRestrepo]

Hey! Glad to hear it. I would experiment with seeing how accurate CubiCasa is compared to actual measurements and see if I could just do the CubiCasa app so it does it for you. Haven’t tried it myself though

[@cooper1979]

@@AndreiRestrepo thanks

[@user-wt4yb2be8w]

I have a new construction dont have walls nothing inside will this work for a new layout?

[@AndreiRestrepo]

Tough to say! I'd imagine yes, but I can't fully say since I personally haven't tried a property like that!

[@cooper1979]

Hi Andre I recently switched to Canon system and don't have the budget to buy RF L lens for my real estate photography business. Just wondering between the budge RF 15-30mm F4.5-6.3 and used EF 16-35mm F4, which one would you recommend? Thank in advance.

[@AndreiRestrepo]

EF glass for sure! They work just fine, if not better on the RF systems with the adapters. I only have the 15-35, but then I have all my third party sigma prime lenses that work better than they did on my DSLR. Thanks for watching!

[@cooper1979]

@@AndreiRestrepo Thanks for the reply!

[@adriancarey]

Look at a 17-40mm L lens.

[@gerardofaustin8156]

it amazing so amazing 😮

[@AndreiRestrepo]

Yeah it is! Thanks for watching

[@paulreibelphotography]

Latest update from CubiCasa makes you orient your phone in portrait mode. This way tends to more easily grab floor to ceiling scans. I've been marketing the 3D walk through video to agents who typically sell the "fixer-uppers" and messy rentals .. here's a sample: kzbin.info/www/bejne/noLbapetib1_rsUsi=06ESs4bFd8zLX17Y

[@AndreiRestrepo]

Nice! Thanks for the update. If you don't mind me asking, how are you pricing the 3D bundle and marketing it? Thanks for watching!
