What Higharc does
Higharc is the Connected Homebuilding Cloud — a generative-design and operations platform that automates the design, engineering, and configuration of new production homes from initial concept through buyer customization and field execution. The product uses generative AI and parametric design to spin up complete, code-compliant home plans in minutes (versus weeks for traditional drafting), then keeps every downstream document — elevations, takeoffs, options pricing, and buyer-facing 3D — in sync as plans evolve.
In February 2025, Higharc launched Higharc AI, a suite of new AI capabilities making its 3D design tools easier and more accessible for conceptual design and prototyping. Higharc was named to Fast Company's Most Innovative Companies of 2026.
Who it's for
Higharc serves production homebuilders, building-products manufacturers, and distributors — companies that build and configure hundreds to thousands of new homes per year. Customers include national and regional builders looking to compress cycle time, reduce drafting cost, and improve buyer experience with online configurators. Investors and partners include Home Depot Ventures, Ferguson Ventures, Spark Capital, Pillar VC, and 18+ industry leaders.
Pricing
Higharc sells enterprise SaaS subscriptions to homebuilders and building-products partners. Pricing scales with plan library size and seats, and is quoted by sales.
Team & funding
Higharc was founded in 2018 by Marc Minor (CEO), previously a key contributor at 3D printing pioneer Carbon3D and Desktop Metal. The company is headquartered in Durham, North Carolina. Higharc has raised approximately $78.7M total, including a $21M Series A led by Spark Capital and a $53M Series B announced February 15, 2024 backed by Home Depot, Ferguson, and 18 other industry leaders.
Position vs competitors
Higharc competes with traditional CAD vendors (Chief Architect, Autodesk Revit), production-home software (BuilderTrend, CoConstruct), and emerging generative-design tools. Its differentiator is end-to-end coverage from generative design through buyer configurator and field execution, purpose-built for production homebuilders rather than commercial AEC.
