Developing practical solutions based on this demand…

Pain Points (Public)

Builders and DIYers constructing outdoor timber structures such as pergolas often lack precise fabrication plans, leading to costly lumber waste, joint misalignment, and guesswork at the saw table when translating conceptual designs into real dimensions.

Suggested Approach (Public)

Deliver standardized AutoCAD/DWG drafting packages featuring dimensioned plan, elevation, and isometric views alongside an itemized lumber cut list and joinery details ready for immediate workshop sawing and assembly.

Development brief PRO

Worth building?
Needs validation first
How to position
  • Position initially as a specialized cut-list and dimensional template generator specifically for standard outdoor timber pergolas (top, side, and isometric views in DWG/AutoCAD format) rather than a broad structural engineering suite.
What to build first
    1. Standard Pergola Parameter Input Form: Collect core dimensions (span, post height, rafter spacing, timber beam lumber sizes) and overhang preferences.
