Living plus shop
The shop splits off on a post line, with the mudroom and laundry on that wall. Overhead doors up to 18' wide.
Barndominium and post-frame drafting, on a real bay grid.
Describe the barndo or shop-house. It's laid out on your bays and you approve each step. Then you hand over a furnished plan, steel colours in 3D, a drawing set and a post-frame takeoff.

80×40 · 30×40 shop · 2,020 sq ft living · 50' porch
Laid out on bays, not a stick-frame grid.
Set the bay and the truss spacing. Posts stand at the corners and on every bay line, and the same posts show on the plan, the foundation, the DXF and the quote.
- A door wider than a bay gets a header and jamb posts
- Doors and windows slide into a bay, clear of the posts
- 80' on 10' bays: 8 bays, 26 posts, counted for you
Shop on one end, house on the other.
Everything a barndo customer asks about, from the same plan.
Porches and foundation
Front, rear or wraparound porches on posts. Posts on piers, house and shop slabs, the porch a step down.
Steel colours, before the order
Panel, roof, trim, door and wainscot colours from the usual palette, or your own. In 3D, on the elevations and the cover.
Living, shop and porch, priced apart
"What does the shop cost?" The quote puts each at its own rate, so the answer is on the screen.
A takeoff counted from the plan.
Posts, girts, header girts, splash plank, trusses, purlins, steel cut to length, trim by the stock piece and screws. Every line says how it was counted, and the supplier list exports to CSV.
Starter prices are marked until you type your supplier's.

It drafts it the way it's built.
The AI confirms the program with you first, then proposes the shell, the shop split and the porches one step at a time. You accept or reject each one. Change the bay, the eave or the pitch whenever you like.
The set is permit-style, not stamped. Most post-frame homes need an engineer, so hand them a drawing, not a blank page.
One price for the whole company.

Questions
Will an engineer still need to stamp it?
Usually, yes. It's a permit-style set drawn to scale, not stamped, and most post-frame homes need an engineer. They start from your drawing instead of a blank page.
Can I set my own bay and truss spacing?
Yes. Pick 8', 10' or 12', or type your own. The posts, the foundation plan and the quote follow.
Does the takeoff use my steel prices?
It starts on marked starter prices. Type your supplier's per foot or per piece and the quote remembers them.
Do you draw stick-built houses too?
Yes: one- and two-story framed houses, garages and porches. See the main page.
