Smart House Planner: An AI-Powered System for Interactive Home Design, 3D Modelling, and Cost Estimation

The Smart House Planner is an AI-powered solution designed to simplify the process of residential home design by combining intelligent planning, 3D modelling, and real-time cost estimation through an interactive conversational interface. With the rising demand for personalized housing solutions and the complexity of balancing aesthetics, functionality, and budget, there is a growing need for systems that can automate architectural planning while remaining user-friendly. This project addresses that challenge by integrating Gemini AI for intelligent design recommendations, Blender for automated 3D visualization, and a cost estimation engine for transparent financial planning. The system enables users to specify requirements such as housing type (1BHK, 2BHK, 3BHK, Duplex, Villa), dimensions, and style preferences via a modern Django-based web interface. Gemini AI processes these inputs to generate optimized layouts by considering space utilization, and functional flow. These layouts are then transformed into realistic, interactive 3D models using Blender, allowing users to explore their prospective homes virtually. Simultaneously, the cost estimation module calculates material, labour, costs, producing downloadable reports that support informed decision-making and budget control. By unifying AI-driven design intelligence, real-time 3D modelling, and detailed cost breakdowns, Smart House Planner provides a comprehensive platform that enhances user engagement, reduces reliance on professional intervention, and democratizes access to architectural planning. This solution demonstrates how AI, visualization technologies, and web-based interfaces can transform the way individuals approach housing design, making the process more efficient, transparent, and accessible to both professionals and non-experts.
