Build plans, drawn to your dimensions
Plans for the building you actually want
Pick the size, the roof, the doors and the windows. Parametric Plans draws the build package for exactly that building — every wall framed, every board in the cut list, every step in the order the work happens.
Not a stock plan stretched to fit: the drawings, the bill of materials and the cut list are worked out again for each change you make, and the free preview shows you every drawing before you pay.

How it works
- Design it. Start from a ready-made design or a blank one, and change anything. Every control redraws the 3D model and the plan behind it as you go, and says plainly when something can't be built.
- Check it. Download the free watermarked preview: every drawing and every step of the build guide, with the dimensions and quantities left for the bought copy.
- Build it. Buy the full package for $10: every drawing dimensioned, the bill of materials and the cut list, drawn for the building you designed. It downloads to your device; nothing to sign up for.
