A look inside
This is how it actually works
Draw the walls — any shape. The engine takes off framing, sheathing, drywall and labour per wall, prices it from your catalog and applies your local taxes.
Add walls one by one — length, height and a turn. L-shapes, notches, bays: the plan view draws itself and closes the contour for you.
Every line is computed, not guessed — studs with corner and opening extras, sheets with waste, labour by norms. Wide spans get flagged for engineering instead of a made-up price. Taxes follow your region.
Flexibility
Three levels of depth
Start fast, go deeper when you need to — upgrade anytime without losing data
