26 national code families

House plan software that knows which country it is in

A plot is a plot wherever it is. What changes is the unit on the tape, the code on the drawing and the currency on the bill of quantities. Choose the country once and PLOTVA switches all three: feet and inches or metres, one of 26 national code families, and a costed BOQ in USD, GBP, EUR, PKR, AED, SAR or INR. Then it draws the plans, elevations, sections, 3D views and structural checks, and writes a native AutoCAD DWG set a consultant in any country can open.

Every code profile in the software

These are not marketing names — each is a profile that sets the code family, the seismic parameters, the default units and the currency at once. The output states which family, which parameters and which load combination it used.

A code family is only as current as its published edition, and local authorities add their own zoning rules on top. Check the edition your permit office is enforcing before you submit — the software names what it applied so that check takes a minute, not a day.

🇺🇸 United States

IBC 2024, IRC 2021, ASCE 7-22, ACI 318-19 — in feet and inches, with the IRC room, stair and egress-window limits already enforced.

🇬🇧 United Kingdom

Building Regulations 2010 as the reference set, BS EN 1992 and 1998 design, metres by default, and the rear-extension limits in one table.

🇪🇺 Europe

Eurocodes EN 1990–1998 with the national parameters left visible on the sheet, so a local engineer can check them rather than trust them.

🇦🇺 Australia

NCC 2022 Volume Two for Class 1a houses, AS 3600 concrete, AS 1170 actions — plus an honest note on what it does not calculate.

📐 Anywhere, in square feet

800 to 2,000 sq ft with the ft² ↔ m² conversions, IRC room minimums and the typical two- and three-bedroom footprints.

What is the same in every country

One file, offline

Design, checks, 3D and every export happen on your own computer. No account, no cloud, nothing uploaded. Activation needs the internet once; after that the licence check runs about daily when you happen to be online.

Native DWG

Output is real DWG on 30 AIA layers with dimensions, blocks, handles and drawing units, plus DXF (AC1032 / 2018) — it opens in AutoCAD, BricsCAD, ZWCAD and DraftSight.

A full set from a plot size

Dimensioned floor plans, four elevations, sections, 3D views, door and window schedules, room schedule, bar-bending schedule and a bill of quantities taken off the drawing itself.

Honest about scope

A permit drawing must be signed by a licensed professional in the country where it is submitted. The software removes the drafting time and the arithmetic — it does not replace that signature, and it never claims to.

Contact the owner

Tell me the plot — I will tell you what it costs

Send the plot size, the country and the rooms you want. You get a straight answer with the plan that fits, usually the same day. The button opens a ready-written e-mail — just add your details and send.

No phone number and no e-mail address is printed on this page — the contact button opens Gmail with the address already filled in, so it cannot be scraped.
