Is my project data private?

Yes. Projects belong to you, and are only visible to you and, where you work in a shared workspace, to the members of that workspace.

Can the calculation logic be changed?

Every ratio, room size and circulation percentage sits in an admin-controlled matrix. Administrators can edit those constants, and all calculations follow immediately.

What files can I download?

A formatted PDF report, a CSV of every line item, and DXF drawings of the schematic floor layouts for use in CAD.

Do the layouts replace an architect?

No. The layouts are schematic block plans for early space programming and coordination. Detailed design and construction documentation remain an architect's work.

Can a team share projects?

Yes. A workspace owner can invite colleagues, and projects in that workspace are visible to its members.

What happens to a free account?

It stays usable for personal and academic work. If your needs grow into team collaboration or organisation-wide use, you can move to a paid plan when pricing is published.

Hospital area programming

From a plot of land to a defensible hospital space program.

Enter the site, choose a hospital class and clinical scope, and get bed capacity, ward mix, ER, OT, ICU and OPD schedules, floor-wise distribution and schematic layouts — all from one governed logic matrix.

Worked example

Illustrative only

Plot size: 2.00 acres
8,094 m²
Ground coverage: 35%
2,833 m² plate
FAR: 2.5
20,234 m² buildable
Class B — Optimal: 90 m²/bed
224 beds

Sample figures for demonstration — not a real project.

The problem

Space programming is slow, manual and hard to justify.

Area programming lives in spreadsheets

Ratios sit in one person's workbook, get copied between projects, and quietly drift apart.

Every revision restarts the arithmetic

A change in plot size, class or clinical scope means recalculating hundreds of dependent areas by hand.

The numbers are hard to defend

When a client or authority asks why a department is that size, the reasoning is buried in formulas.

How it works

Eleven guided steps, grouped into four stages.

Each step builds on the last, so the final schedule stays consistent with the site you started from.

Stage 1Steps 1–2
Site & capacity
Plot size in acres, sq ft or m², ground coverage and FAR give the buildable area. Choose Class A, B or C and get the bed count.
Stage 2Step 3
Clinical scope
Select medical, surgical, super-specialty, radiology and laboratory services. Dependent functional areas are prompted for each choice.
Stage 3Steps 4–5
Departmental programming
Essential function areas for Emergency, OT complex and ICU with support rooms and circulation, then bed distribution across specialties and the ward mix.
Stage 4Steps 6–11
Floors, gaps & layouts
Floor-wise distribution, OT and ICU allocation, clinical and support-service gap fixing, OPD chamber planning, consolidated floor plans and schematic floor layouts.

What you get

A complete space program, not just a bed count.

Land to capacity

Automatic unit conversion, ground plate and FAR calculation, and bed counts for Class A, B or C.

Bed distribution & ward mix

Beds split across specialties, census and non-census, with an economy to suite ward mix applied throughout.

ER, OT and ICU schedules

Line-by-line areas for emergency, theatres, pre-op and post-op, ICU blocks, support rooms and circulation.

OT & ICU allocation

Assign each theatre type and ICU block to the surgical or clinical specialties that will use it.

Critical gap checks

Clinical and support-service areas your scope implies but the schedule has not yet covered, ready to place.

OPD chamber planning

Chamber counts from footfall assumptions, with the ability to fix numbers for chosen specialties.

Floor-wise distribution

Zoning logic places areas by function, movement, seclusion and sterility — and you can shift any of it.

Editable circulation

A separate circulation percentage per floor, so basements, wards and terraces can differ.

Schematic floor layouts

Block layouts drawn to the programmed areas, with dimensions, schedules and a legend.

Outputs

Take the work out with you.

PDF report

Formatted schedules with your project header, ready to share.

CSV export

Every line item as flat rows for your own spreadsheets.

DXF drawings

Schematic block geometry you can open and edit in CAD.

The DXF output is editable schematic geometry for early planning and coordination. It is not a construction drawing and does not replace an architect's documentation.

Student — architecture / planning
Early-career professional (0–3 years)
Faculty / trainer

Governed logic

One matrix behind every number.

Bed ratios, room sizes, support-room counts and circulation percentages live in a single admin-controlled matrix. Change a constant once and every calculation follows.

Because the logic is explicit rather than buried in a spreadsheet, results are consistent across a team and easy to explain to a client or approving authority.

Class A — Corporate120 m² / bed
Class B — Optimal90 m² / bed
Class C — Cost effective70 m² / bed
Emergency circulation25%
OT complex circulation35%
ICU circulation30%

Default values — every one of them is editable by an administrator.
