Your methods.
Your materials. Your details.
Configure framing, supports, stairs, connections, decking, and railings around how you build. Choose ladder or flat 2×4 / 2×6 blocking for feature boards, drop or upset beams, and your post connections. Save your usual methods as defaults, then adapt them to the job.
Plan Advisors compare actual and allowable spans and show correction options and opportunities to reduce unnecessary material. Adjust the design and review the checks as you go.

Let’s get you started
A few things before
your first project.
Have a particular job in mind? We’re happy to talk through it with you.
Ask us about your projectCan I design around how my company builds?
Yes. Configure framing, supports, connections, stairs, decking, and railings around your construction methods, then save your usual choices as defaults. If a detail or project falls outside the current tools, bring it to us so we can help assess the fit.
What can I give my customer, HOA, or permit office?
Create branded PDF packages with plans, elevations, and details, plus plot plans and 3D views to explain the proposed work. Use AI renderings for customer presentations and takeoffs to support estimating. Choose the documents your reviewer requires; submission requirements vary by project.
Does this replace an engineer?
No. Built-in span checks and Plan Advisors help you review common framing conditions, but they do not provide engineering certification or guarantee approval. Where your project requires an engineer, use the drawings as part of that review and verify local requirements and site conditions.
Can you help me set up my first real job?
Yes. Send us your sketch, dimensions, and the details you normally build with, and we can help you work through the setup. You can reach us directly when a tool, setting, or construction detail needs a closer look.
