Wood Framing Planner vs Cut List Optimizer

Plan your wood framing before you pick up a single board. Wood Framing Planner turns wall dimensions into a complete, buildable framing plan - studs, plates, openings, corners, floors and beams - with a live 3D model you can place in AR, a precise cut list, a lumber buy list that cuts waste, and a priced PDF quote under your own brand. Everything runs on your phone. WHY BUILDERS USE IT • Skip the napkin math - enter your walls and get a stud-by-stud layout instantly. • See it in 3D - rotate an isometric model of your whole build before you cut. • Walk around it in AR - place the frame on your lot or in your yard at full scale. • Order the right amount - a buy list optimized to your supplier's stock lengths means fewer offcuts and less money wasted. • Take it to the shop - export clean PDF & DXF blueprints, cut lists, and buy lists. • Quote it under your name - a branded PDF with your logo, prices and offer text. DESIGN YOUR WALLS • Rectangle or any custom floor plan - draw the shape you're actually building. • Raked walls for shed roofs and gable ends, with bevel-cut studs and plates. • Full wall elevations, fully dimensioned, down to 1/16" - plus a 3D view of each wall. • Windows & doors with rough openings and sized headers, even stacked one above another. • Posts (4x4, 6x6 or your own size) for shear walls and point loads. • Beams anywhere in a wall - headers with no opening under them, for trusses and girders. • Beams across the building, seated on top, under the plates, or notched flush. • Interior partitions with real junctions, nailers and their own height. • Corner configurations, including California / three-stud corners. • Smart stud offset - lay out from the outside corner so sheathing lands on studs. • Mark existing walls for additions and extensions - framed up to, never twice. FLOORS & STOREYS • Floor framing with joists, rim joists, blocking and a sheathing layout. • A second storey on top, each level with its own wall height and settings. • A mezzanine or loft inside the ground floor, on a ledger or on the top plates. • An attic floor under the roof. MATERIALS THAT MATCH YOUR STOCK • Standard timber profiles (2x4, 2x6, and more) or your own custom profiles. • Pick the stock lengths your yard carries. • Works in imperial (ft / in) or metric - your choice per project. GET REAL OUTPUTS • Cut list broken down by length, type, wall or storey. • Cutting plan for every stock board, with saw angles for raked cuts. • Waste-optimized buy list tied to real stock lengths, with a project total. • Pro blueprints: PDF, DXF, and 3D (STL / 3MF) - ready for the workshop or the crew. FOR LUMBER YARDS, TIMBER MERCHANTS & CONTRACTORS • Turn a customer's sketch into a priced material quote in minutes. • Your logo, company name and offer text on every PDF. • Your stock lengths and prices per profile and sheet, with markup, VAT and your currency. • One document for the customer: plans, cut list, buy list and the total. SAVE YOUR WORK • Manage multiple projects side by side - houses, sheds, cabins, garages, extensions. • Sign in with Apple - your builds live in your account, not just one device.

SawKit works out how to cut your parts from full sheets of plywood, MDF or melamine with the least waste — and then tells you the order to make the cuts in. Type your cut list the way you'd say it. 15 3/16. 3/4". 4' 6". Millimetres if that's your shop. SawKit reads all of it, and a unit written on a number always wins, so you can mix imported hardware into a metric project without doing sums. WHAT IT DOES • Works out the layout across as many sheets as it takes, and picks the best of twelve different packing strategies for your particular list. • Respects the grain. Say which way it runs on the sheet and on the part, and parts that must follow it are turned to match — never guessed from which number you typed first. • Accounts for the blade. Kerf and edge trim are part of the calculation, not an afterthought. • Gives you the cut order. Every pass runs edge to edge across the piece in your hands, numbered, so you can work through it at the saw. • Prints. A page per sheet plus a shopping list with prices and a total, in black and white that survives a workshop printer. • Runs on iPad, iPhone and Mac, side by side or one at a time. • Works with no signal at all. Workshops are usually the worst room in the building for that. FREE INCLUDES Everything above on screen: the whole calculation, the drawing, and the calculators. Up to 25 parts, three projects and one kind of stock. PRO ($24.99, one payment) Unlimited parts, projects and stock. PDF export and printing. The cut order. Your own stock list with prices. Your projects on every device you own. SHOP CALCULATORS — always free Board feet with cost. Purchase allowance, done properly: waste comes out of what you buy, not what you need, so 15% waste means buying about 18% more — not 15%. Project cost with markup. PRIVACY Nothing is collected. No account, no analytics, no tracking, no server. Your cut lists are yours and they stay on your devices.
