A floor plan is half the job; the deliverable is the report. A branded, multi-page PDF - cover page, plans, area schedule, legend, photos, and your logo - is what turns a site visit into something a client will pay for and a council will accept. This guide walks through building a professional report PDF from a plan on your iPhone, and choosing the right preset for the trade.
Single page or full report?
RoomPlot exports two kinds of PDF. A single-page PDF is one clean sheet of the plan - perfect for a quick share or a listing attachment. The multi-page Report PDF is the professional deliverable: a fixed A4 portrait document with a cover, table of contents, floor plans, summaries, and your branding, rendered in two passes so the "Page X of Y" numbering is always right.
Pick a report preset
Rather than tick every box by hand, start from a preset built for your trade, then adjust:
- Standard - a complete report with branding.
- Client - client-ready plans, notes, photos, and branding.
- Fire/Security - symbols, legend, North marker, and area zoning, with device coverage forced on.
- Survey - field survey documentation.
- Minimal - clean floor-plan pages only.
Flip any toggle and the report switches to Custom, so you're never boxed in. Set the scope to the current floor or the full project, and choose whether the plans come from your live edited geometry or the original LiDAR scan.
Tip. Save your company logo, address, and a hand-drawn signature once. Every report after that carries your branding automatically - cover, footer, and a dedicated signature page - so each deliverable looks like it came from your office, not an app.
What goes in the report
The report is built from sections you can switch on or off: a cover page, a clickable table of contents, the floor plans, a plan summary (walls, doors, windows, objects, and the scan source), an auto legend that tallies every symbol used, a room and area summary, project notes, voice notes listed as text, and photo pages with marked-up flats and status labels. Branding adds your client details, logo, address, and signature; the footer can carry a measurement disclaimer and pagination. One thing to know up front: the report is fixed A4 portrait - there's no A3, US Letter, or Legal preset.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Sending the single-page PDF when they wanted a report. For a paying client, build the multi-page version with a cover and area summary.
- Forgetting the legend. On a trade plan, the auto legend is what makes the symbols readable - leave it on.
- No disclaimer. If figures are indicative, say so in the footer disclaimer.
Frequently asked questions
What paper size is the report?
Fixed A4 portrait. The single-page PDF and image exports offer more sizes (A4 landscape, square, 1080p), but there's no A3 or US Letter.
Can I add my company branding?
Yes - company logo, address, saved client details, and a hand-drawn signature page. Save them once and they appear on every report.
Does the report include photos and notes?
Yes. You can include project notes, voice notes (listed as text), and photo pages with marked-up images and status labels.
