What is Maket?
Maket is an AI home-design service from Maket Technologies Inc. in Montreal. You list the rooms you want, a target floor area, the shape of the house and what matters most, and it produces several floor plan options in two to three minutes. You change a plan by typing requests in plain language or by moving walls and openings on the canvas, then add a style from its library or your own reference images and explore the design in 3D or as rendered rooms.
On paid plans you export the plan you pick as a PDF, a DXF file that opens in AutoCAD and most CAD tools, or images. DWG is not listed. Maket describes the exports as design-stage documents and says a licensed architect or engineer should review the design against your site and local building codes before permits or construction.
It runs on credits: 20 per floor, 10 per render and 5 per optimisation. Maket says over 1.5 million people have registered.

Free: 30 credits once, no downloads. Homeowner $20/month (300 credits, multi-floor plans, PDF and DXF export). Pro $100/month or $996/year (3,000 credits, plan uploads checked by staff). Scale: custom pricing with API access. A floor costs 20 credits, a render 10.
Is Maket worth it?
Planning a house usually starts on graph paper, with a kitchen that does not fit and a staircase that lands in the bathroom. Getting a professional to sketch options costs money before you even know what you want.
Maket does the first drafts in minutes. You list the rooms, the floor area and what matters to you, and it returns several layouts to compare in two to three minutes. Then you change them by typing ("make the kitchen open onto the garden") or dragging walls, and look at the result in 3D. When one feels right, a paid plan exports it as a PDF or a DXF file that opens in AutoCAD.
The credits are worth working out. The free 30 cover one single-floor plan and one render, and you cannot download anything. The $20 Homeowner plan gives 300 credits a month, enough for up to 15 floors or 30 renders, and unused monthly credits expire.
The catch: a generated plan is not a substitute for an architect or a building permit, and Maket says so: before permits or construction, a licensed architect or engineer should check the design against your site and local building codes. It does not know your plot, your soil or your council's rules. The privacy policy also says Maket may train its models on what you type and upload, with reasonable efforts to anonymise it, and admits it cannot guarantee perfect anonymisation; some features send your content to OpenAI.
Our take: think of Maket as a way to turn a wish list into pictures before your first meeting with an architect. A month on the $20 plan is cheap next to an hour of professional time, and you will arrive knowing which layouts you dislike.
Where it earns its place
A couple planning a self-build bungalow
Work out which layout they want before the first architect meeting
Generate options from a room list, rework them by typing, and export the favourite as a PDF on the $20 Homeowner plan; the architect then turns it into drawings that meet local codes.
A small architecture practice
Show a client several layout options at the first meeting
On Pro at $100 a month, generate variations from the brief, add the practice's branding, and export DXF to refine in AutoCAD. 3,000 credits cover up to 150 floors.
A residential developer weighing a plot
Compare unit layouts for a feasibility study
Generate and compare unit configurations quickly; Scale adds custom pricing, bulk import and API access for higher volumes.
