Product
Your SketchUp model. A link your client can walk.
Brickrat is a desktop app for architects. Upload the .skp, place lights and furniture, hit bake, and share an interactive walkthrough that opens in any browser.
Step 01
Upload your SketchUp model
Drop the .skp file you already have. No re-modelling, no exports to a half-supported format. The desktop app reads the model you finished last night.
Step 02
Place lights and furniture
Drag from a library of furniture and lighting and drop into the rooms you built. You stay the architect — Brickrat is the camera and the renderer, not the designer.
Step 03
Share a link
Bake once. Send the link. Your client walks the house in any browser, on any device, with no install. Same link works for the next revision.
What is inside
Built around how architects actually work.
We use SketchUp every day and built Brickrat with the architects we know. It is the tool we kept wishing existed when their clients could not read a 2D plan.
- A real desktop app
- Brickrat runs locally — your SketchUp file never leaves your machine. The walkthrough is published when you choose to publish.
- Manual creative control
- You decide where the warm lights go, which couch belongs in the living room, where the camera starts. We will not auto-generate a space that is not yours.
- Browser-native viewer
- No app store, no plugin, no Unity webplayer prompt. Clients click a link and they are inside the model in seconds.
- Same link, every revision
- Re-bake after a design change and the share link updates in place. Clients always see the latest version — no email chain of MP4 attachments.
Who it is for
For the architect who needs the client to feel the space.
Brickrat is built for indie architects and small firms in India who want to wow residential clients without paying ₹2–5 lakh per rendered video. Pricing is in rupees. Pricing fits one project, not one product launch.
