What’s the difference between Professional Floor Plans and Matterport Floor Plans?

What’s the Difference Between Professional Floor Plans, Matterport Floor Plans, and Scanned Drafter Floor Plans?

At Open Homes, we offer several floor plan options to fit different goals, budgets, and levels of detail.

Professional Floor Plans (ANSI Measured)

Our Professional Floor Plan service is the traditional, in-person drafting option.

A qualified draftsperson visits the property and takes physical measurements using precision tools. These plans are created in accordance with ANSI standards, making them our most accurate floor plan option.

Key Features:

• Highly accurate property layout
• Room dimensions available upon request
• Square footage calculations available upon request
• Option to include measured non-living spaces (closets, decks, etc.) upon request

Because we charge based on what is measured, including additional non-living areas may move the project into a higher pricing tier.

Best for:
Clients who need reliable square footage and precise measurements for listings, appraisals, or compliance purposes.

Matterport Floor Plans (Marketing Schematic)

Matterport Floor Plans are generated directly from a Matterport 3D scan of the property.

Since these plans are created from camera data rather than physical measuring tools, they are not created using ANSI standards and cannot guarantee measurement accuracy.

Key Features:

• Clean, professional layout for marketing use
• No room dimensions
• No square footage calculations
• Interior closets, storage, and non-living spaces are not included by default

Detached or additional areas (like garages, decks, or ADUs) can be added for $50 per additional scanned space, as long as those areas are included during the Matterport scan.

Best for:
Clients who already ordered a Matterport tour and want a low-cost visual layout for marketing — not for measurement verification.

Scanned Drafter Floor Plans

The Scanned Drafter Floor Plan is similar in style to the Matterport version but does not require a Matterport scan.

It is often one of our most budget-friendly options and is designed primarily as a visual layout tool.

Key Features:

• Clear layout of the home
• Room dimensions included
• No square footage calculations
• Not created using ANSI measurement standards

Best for:
Clients who want an affordable floor plan with room sizes shown, but do not need official square footage.
