Design That Looks Right Should Also Measure Right

Early-stage design is often driven by instinct. Architects sketch forms, test layouts, and explore massing based on feel and flow. But here’s the catch: what looks right doesn’t always measure right.

The shape may feel balanced. The elevation may look elegant. But is that floorplate really 1,000 sq ft?
Are your setbacks aligning with the program brief?
Is your FAR or built-up area exceeding the limit without you realizing?

These are the kinds of questions that stall projects late — or worse, result in failed approvals or budget overruns.

Architects Need Real-Time Area Feedback

In most architecture tools, you model first and calculate later. This creates a disconnect between design intent and planning constraints.

Snaptrude flips that workflow.

Every design move you make, whether stretching a form, adjusting a unit, or rotating a block, is backed by live area feedback.

So instead of:

• Guessing the square footage of a layout
• Pulling out a calculator
• Exporting to check numbers

You get instant, real-time metrics on:

• Carpet area
• Built-up area
• FSI consumed vs target FSI (Floor Space Index)
• And more

See the Impact of Every Design Change Instantly

With Snaptrude, you don’t have to wait until documentation to know if you’re on track.
You can test:

• Whether your podium layout hits GFA targets
• If your floor plan exceeds allowable area per zoning rules
• How a small change in form affects your sellable square footage
• You can test multiple forms while knowing that your areas are correct. 

It’s fast, visual, and accurate, which means fewer surprises later.

Design Freedom with Real-World Clarity

Snaptrude gives architects the freedom to design expressively while keeping one eye on what’s buildable, approvable, and profitable.

You no longer have to choose between creativity and compliance.
You can have both.

Snaptrude Makes Data Part of the Design

We believe data shouldn’t interrupt the design process — it should support it.
Snaptrude does just that by embedding live program data into your modeling workflow.

It’s not an afterthought. It’s built in from the start.
