Arpenna presents a tool for reading building-plan sets and turning them into measured, priced framing estimates.

Landing page captured for the 2026-10-30 issue.
For
Lumber yards and framing estimators
Worth noticing
The page says untyped partitions are framed by drawn thickness and flagged, rather than silently assigned a wall type.

Field notes

The described workflow keeps the source drawing attached to the estimate: selecting an estimate line is supposed to show the measured area on its sheet. The page also specifies how it handles incomplete plan information, saying untyped partitions use their drawn thickness and are flagged. Its public example is labeled demo data, and the site says it is onboarding a small pilot group in Ontario and Quebec.
