- It warns that soil, wind, local amendments and house construction are outside its checks, and that the output is not engineering certification.
Field notes
The described workflow starts with a shape and typed measurements, then adds details such as stairs, railings and furniture before selecting boards. Its output list includes framing components and a cut plan, while a layout comparison is intended to reduce offcuts. The homepage says its span and rule references cover Australia and the US, but explicitly excludes site-specific factors such as soil and wind; it tells users to have a builder or certifier check the plan.
