What we do

Our Services

Drafting, estimating, and engineering support for U.S. residential and outdoor-living contractors, delivered overnight by a trained team that works to your standards.

Every service is available two ways: through a dedicated monthly team member, or as a one-off project when you have overflow work. Either way, your files go through the same five-step workflow and internal QC before they reach you.

Service 01

Permit & Construction Drawings

Permit-ready drawing sets for decks, additions, barns, and custom homes. Drawn to your templates and coordinated sheet to sheet, so plan reviewers have fewer questions and your crew has clear answers in the field.

What you get

  • Cover sheet with project information and design criteria
  • Site plan with setbacks and key dimensions
  • Foundation and framing plans, elevations, and sections
  • Typical and project-specific connection details
  • General and code notes for the governing jurisdiction
  • Updates in response to plan-review comments
What we need from you: sketches, site photos or a survey, dimensions, material selections, and your title block or template if you have one.
Typical turnaround: about 24 hours for standard scope

3D Rendering & Visualization
Service 02

3D Rendering & Visualization

Realistic 3D views that help homeowners say yes faster. Useful for proposals, design approvals, and sales presentations.

What you get

  • Exterior 3D renderings from multiple angles
  • Material, color, and railing options shown side by side
  • Updated views when the design changes
What we need from you: plans or a sketch, product and material selections, and site photos.
Service 03

Takeoff & Estimating

Clear, consistent material quantities so your bids are accurate and your purchasing is predictable.

What you get

  • Material takeoffs for lumber, decking, framing, hardware, fasteners, and railing
  • Quantities organized by assembly, to match how you buy and build
  • Allowances and assumptions listed separately, so risk is visible before you bid
  • Bid-support summaries in your estimating format
What we need from you: plans or drawings, the waste factors and stock lengths you use, and your preferred suppliers or product lines.

Engineering & Stamping
Service 04

Engineering & Stamping

Structural calculations and PE review for projects that require an engineer's stamp.

What you get

  • Structural calculations for beams, joists, posts, footings, and connections
  • PE review of drawings and calculations
  • Engineering stamp by a licensed Professional Engineer, in states where a licensed PE is available
How it works: stamping is quoted separately for each project. Send us the project location and scope, and we will confirm availability in your state and provide a quote before any work begins.
