In keeping with my belief that the best tool to use is the one that you have with you…as long as it is a smart phone, I want to tell you about a couple of cool apps that should be on your phone.
First up is an iPhone only app called iMeasure-Floor Plan which you can find here: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/imeasure-floor-plan/id1281387513?mt=8
If you go here: https://imeasure.dimensionalapplications.com you can see it in action in the video that’s on the page.
This $2.99 app is for both the iPhone and the iPad and it creates floor plans accurate to the inch simply by aiming your camera at start points and then scanning along floor surfaces at different way points.
Reviews are good and it seems to be pretty darn accurate. This would be handy when showing property to give your buyers something that they could use to help plan how they would utilize the space.
The next one is for both iPhone and Android phones and is called Air Measure.
The iPhone app ($.99) is here: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/airmeasure-ar/id1251282152 and the Android version is here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.laan.AirMeasure (This is in Beta).
You can see some videos on that page to get an idea of how it works and what else besides floorpans that it can do.
You NEED these apps on your phone. You’ll be surprised at how much you can do with them.
