Prompt Budget-based renovation concepts
Upload a photo of a building and ask for renovation concepts at a set budget.
I only have $20,000 to spend on the exterior renovation of this apartment building. Can you show me what that looks like?
How to use: Upload the photo, run the prompt, then iterate: "Now what if we had a $50K budget?"
What you get: Renovation concepts at each budget level with itemized breakdowns.
Prompt Residential subdivision site plan
Upload an aerial of vacant land and ask for a conceptual subdivision layout.
We're buying this site to develop a residential subdivision in [CITY]. Please prepare a site plan assuming 5,000 SF lots and 4 homes to the acre. The site is [X] acres. You're a 30-year engineer who has done this a thousand times.
What you get: A conceptual site plan with lot layouts, ingress and egress, retention basins, and amenity areas.
Prompt Infill development rendering
Place a conceptual building on a site's excess land for an investor presentation.
We are looking at acquiring this site. It has excess land. It's in [CITY]. I need a rendering for an apartment building on the excess land. Assume 3 stories and surface-level parking. Assume you're an architect.
What you get: A building rendering placed in context on the actual site, usable before you commit to architect fees.
Prompt Investor teaser video
Generate a short teaser video to show investors the concept.
We're building this new [PROJECT] in [CITY]. Can we please create a teaser video to show our investors how great the concept is?
Guardrail: Label every AI rendering as conceptual. These images cannot be submitted to municipalities for permitting and do not replace licensed architectural or engineering drawings.
Before you upload sensitive data
Check this tool's data terms first. Enterprise and business tiers of the major AI tools do not train on what you upload; free tiers sometimes do. Keep tenant records, signed leases, and investor personal data on an account with a business agreement, and treat AI-generated images or audio as marketing assets, not official records.
