Free tool · Facility design
Four reference floor plans for de-addiction and psychiatry facilities, plus a drag-and-drop builder to sketch your own, with live compliance checks tied to the room and space norms across state rules.
Four common facility types, sized and laid out around the room requirements that actually show up in state minimum-standards documents and licensing rules. Click "Load into builder" to open one as a starting point you can edit.
Set your plot size, add rooms from the palette, then drag to position and drag the bottom-right corner to resize. Everything snaps to a 1-foot grid.
A planning aid, not an architectural or regulatory sign-off. These checks reflect common patterns across the state rules we've researched (see below), not a complete or state-verified checklist. Confirm actual space, fire-safety and infrastructure norms with your specific State Mental Health Authority and a licensed architect before finalising a real layout.
Every default room and compliance flag above ties back to something specific we found while researching state licensing rules, not a generic template.
A near-universal requirement across every state minimum-standards document we reviewed, including Delhi's and Tamil Nadu's gazetted standards.
Derived from Jammu & Kashmir's 2026 Rules, which set a minimum of 400 sq ft per 10 indoor beds, the most explicit space norm we found in any state's rules.
A recurring requirement wherever a centre dispenses controlled substances; see our NDPS register template for the stock-register side of this.
Implied by staffing ratios like J&K's 1 nurse per 10 patients and Haryana's Form B accommodation fields, which ask directly about ward and nursing layout.
Explicitly mandated with a 90-day retention period under J&K's 2026 Rules, and a growing expectation elsewhere; the builder doesn't map camera positions, but budget for it in your final design.
Named directly in Haryana's SMHA Form B as part of what a facility must specify to register.
