From 2D to ZD--A Zonda Dimensional Approach to Floor Plan Visualization

Builders being recruited as early adopters at the International Builders' Show

LAS VEGAS, Feb. 25, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- When building a home, one point of origin is consistent: the floor plan. It guides every project output. It also plays the lead role in Zonda Dimensional (in beta) — a new platform bridging 2D and 3D new home visualizations into ZD.

"By making the floor plan the starting point, we believe that we can build a better digital universe that connects builders to buyers before they consider existing homes," says Kati Presley, VP, Product Development at Zonda. "Zonda Dimensional has the power to significantly expand the new home construction share of the market."

• In 2024, new construction accounted for only 14.4% of the 4.06 million homes sold.
• This is a stark contrast to the 42% of home shoppers who report that they prefer new homes and 34% that are indifferent between the purchase of new or existing homes.

"Zonda gives homebuyers the tools to make informed decisions in an ever-evolving new construction landscape," says Jeff Meyers, CEO at Zonda. "We eliminate roadblocks early in the home search, so that builders can work with buyers to consider the 'new' right from the start."

• The floor plan as the foundation | Complex design and processing requirements are eliminated, transforming the industry's most fundamental asset—a 2D floor plan or CAD file—into a seamless, navigable 3D experience with a simple HTML link. Buyers can explore structural options, personalize layouts, and tour their future home with ease.
• The next dimension of new home shopping | Buyers expect the same ease in purchasing a to-be-built home as a resale one. Zonda Dimensional will bridge the gap between imagination and reality by making choosing a to-be-built home and community as immersive and effortless as walking through an already built home
• The power of personalization—making new homes the first choice | The biggest advantage of a new home is its configurability. Homebuyers can start configuring from their very first interaction. By allowing them to save their selections, they are more than just engaged—it moves them one step closer to closing.

For builders, this all adds up to giving buyers what they want, positioning new homes as their first and best choice, by giving them the ability to personalize. 

The beta version of the first Zonda Dimensional product rollout: ZD Floor Plan is currently live for 80 floor plans. The Early Access ZD Floor Plan includes:

• an interactive dollhouse floor plan view with ability to enter and walk around the home,
• embedded 2D floor plan as a navigational key,
• on-demand structural option changes,
• on-demand furniture placement with provided library, lead capture functionality, and
• responsive device recognition.

Using object-oriented JS-API technology, all UX and UI elements are completely customizable for the builder's preferred consumer experience.

• Zonda Dimensional is being shared at the International Builders' Show in Las Vegas. Attendees can learn more from Zonda at Booth 3143 in the West Hall.
• We are recruiting up to 10 builders to pilot up to 5 floor plans, with exclusive pricing and product feedback opportunities. Join now! https://zondahome.com/zonda-dimensional

What's coming next?

With future integration with Envision — the premier new home design center platform — builders will be able to instantly showcase pre-built finishes, details, and structural choices—creating high-quality marketing assets on demand. 

In phase two of Zonda Dimensional, Zonda will also have Photoreal HD visualization to bring on-demand content generation to the next level—giving builders a powerful, continuous marketing engine.
