About

Evalation Lab is the design and estimating tool built for outdoor living contractors — decks, pergolas, concrete flatwork, and retaining structures — all in one app on your iPad or iPhone. DESIGN ON THE JOB SITE Draw your deck or structure to scale directly on the canvas. Snap walls, draw deck surfaces, place footings, railings, and stairs. The 3D view updates in real time so you can walk clients through the design before a single board is cut. STRUCTURAL CALCULATIONS BUILT IN Evalation Lab runs IRC-compliant beam sizing, joist spans, and footing loads as you design. Every structural result is documented and printable. PROFESSIONAL BLUEPRINTS — INSTANTLY Generate a full permit-ready blueprint package as a PDF: plan view, section cuts, framing layout, material schedule, and code notes. No CAD software needed. ACCURATE ESTIMATES IN SECONDS Material takeoffs and labor costs are calculated automatically from your design. Set your own pricing, margins, and framing system — Fortress Evolution, Safco Buildex (Forever Frame®), or Traditional Lumber — and the estimate updates live. TREX RAINESCAPE® DRAINAGE SYSTEM Add the Trex RainEscape® under-deck drainage system to any deck surface with a single toggle. The app calculates trough count, drain locations, butyl tape rolls, and hidden gutter linear footage per bay — with full line-item pricing in the estimate. DECK ADD-ONS • Under-deck ceiling systems • Trex RainEscape® drainage • Hot tub structural allowance • Custom fascia and border board layouts • Cantilever configurations MULTIPLE MODULE TYPES • Decks & multi-surface deck systems • Freestanding and attached pergolas • Concrete and paver flatwork • Retaining walls SIGN AND CLOSE ON SITE Send the estimate to your client, collect an e-signature, and walk away with a signed proposal — all from the app. CONNECTED TO EVALATION OPS Sign in with your Evalation Ops account to pull scheduled estimates directly into Lab, design them, and sync the completed blueprint, material list, and estimate back to your Ops dashboard in one tap. BUILT FOR CONTRACTORS Dark interface designed for outdoor readability. Large, high-contrast labels that stay legible in direct sunlight. Fast, no-clutter workflow that respects your time on a busy job site.

What's New in Evalation Lab

2.0.1

July 31, 2026

This update makes your construction documents more accurate than ever. • Blueprint accuracy: pergola plans (P-1), footing plans (S-2), site plans (S-1), and elevations (E-1) now render the exact structure you designed. Custom footprint shapes, real post and footing positions, true roof profiles, and per-edge dimensions. • Pergola upgrades: roofs can now wrap around outside house corners with correct truss framing, ledgers, and hip geometry in 3D and on the printed plans. • Engineering accuracy: framing members, footings, and schedules are all derived from a single geometry source, so the 3D model and blueprints always match. • Fixed an issue where projects created in earlier versions could not be opened after updating. Your saved projects are safe, just update.
