Turn Your Planning Rules into a Configurator
PlanFinder develops custom configurators that encode your planning logic, constraints, and KPIs into software. We help companies automate repetitive layout tasks such as warehouse planning, modular housing, and space optimization inside their existing CAD/BIM workflows.

As many racks as
the building allows
For each warehouse the configurator tests many valid layouts and keeps the densest, working around columns, aisles and walls.

Tailored solutions for a variety of sectors since 2019
Warehouse & Storage Facilities
Automatically generate racking layouts that maximize storage capacity while ensuring clear access aisles and compliance with operational requirements.
Modular Housing
Automate the layout of apartments, prefabricated units, or co-living spaces based on building codes, efficiency metrics, and design aesthetics.
Retail & Office Space
Optimize store layouts, workspaces, and circulation paths to enhance functionality and user experience.
Data Centers
Lay out white space, rack rows, and support rooms automatically, while respecting power, cooling, and clearance requirements.
Other Custom Use Cases
If your company has a large volume of repetitive floor planning tasks, we can build a configurator that streamlines your workflow.

Common questions
Cost, ownership and what happens after handover. Anything else, ask on the call.
Is a configurator worth it for us?
Usually when your team draws the same kind of layout many times a year, each one takes hours or days, and the rules exist, even if only in a senior planner's head. The 30-minute call is for finding that out.
What does a project cost, and how long does it take?
Fixed-price projects start at €30k and typically take 8–10 weeks. Larger builds and ongoing monthly work are possible too. You get a fixed quote after the technical deep dive, before anything is built.
What do you need from us?
A few finished projects as examples, your planning rules (a spreadsheet, a standards document or a planner's notes are all fine) and someone on your team who can answer questions during the build.
Who owns the configurator?
Your company can use it for as long as you like, with no yearly licence fee: the licence is included in the project price. Your plans, rules and data always stay yours. We keep the source code. If your company needs access to it, for example for continuity, we can arrange escrow or a code licence.
Can you sign an NDA before we share our plans?
Yes, yours or ours, before you share any plans, rules or project data. How we store and protect data
Where does the configurator run?
Where your team already works: as a plugin for Revit, Rhino, Archicad, SketchUp or AutoCAD, in the browser, or behind an API. A plugin needs a licence for its host software; a browser version needs nothing installed.
What happens after handover?
The configurator keeps working as delivered. An optional monthly support plan covers updates for new Revit, Rhino and Archicad versions and rule changes as your products change. We quote it with the project.
Our configurators can be integrated directly into your existing software environment—whether as a standalone tool, a plugin for CAD/BIM software like Revit, Rhino, Archicad, SketchUp, AutoCAD, or via API.
