The step between your business idea and spending thousands on an architect or general contractor.
Plan your commercial buildout before you pay for one.
Create a preliminary floorplan, estimate, equipment list, and feasibility report for your business idea before hiring an architect, engineer, or general contractor.
Where BuildoutIQ fits in your buildout
From idea to feasibility report.
Five guided steps take you from a rough concept to a clean, shareable feasibility report — before you commit serious money to the project.
Choose a Business Type
Butcher shop, coffee shop, restaurant/QSR, specialty grocery, or retail store.
Build or Generate a Floorplan
Create a rough commercial layout with rooms, zones, equipment, and dimensions.
Add Equipment & Materials
Use template-aware equipment and material libraries to understand what the buildout may require.
Estimate Buildout Costs
Generate preliminary ranges for construction, equipment, materials, MEP, and contingency.
Export a Feasibility Report
Create a clean investor/lender-friendly report showing the project, budget, assumptions, risks, and next steps.
Built for early-stage commercial planning.
If you're weighing whether a space is worth pursuing, BuildoutIQ helps you pressure-test the idea first.

Start from a business type that already knows the basics.
Each template ships with floorplan logic, equipment, material, and MEP assumptions tuned to that kind of space.
