ADU

Design your own accessory dwelling unit in 3D -- and get a real, buildable house out of it. This is a fully parametric timber-frame ADU configurator, not a picture gallery. Drag the footprint, set the wall height, pick a gable, mono-pitch or hip roof and its pitch, draw the rooms inside, place windows and doors on the stud module, and watch the 3D model update instantly. Every stud, sheet, screw and metre of flashing in the model is a real catalog item -- the configurator generates a complete, priced Bill of Quantities as you build, so what you see is exactly what you order.

• Insulated stud-frame walls, floor and ceiling -- built as real assemblies, layer by layer, not a hollow shell
• Gable, mono-pitch or hip roof, with the pitch and each overhang set independently
• The whole roof build-up is drawn and counted: sheathing, underlay, counter-battens and battens, eave and verge flashings, covering, ridge and hip caps
• Engineered trusses with connector plates at every node -- and on a hip roof, a girder with jack trusses filling each end
• Draw the rooms on the plan and the partitions go up with them -- studs, insulation, plasterboard and the tape and filler for the joints
• Windows and doors land on the stud module, and the frame is rebuilt around them with a header and trimmers
• Screw-pile or concrete pad foundation, sized to the footprint, with the saddles that carry the frame
• Gutters and downpipes that follow the eaves, and support posts with knee bracing wherever an overhang runs deep
• Stand the finished house on your own plot at full size in augmented reality, straight from your phone
• Instant, itemised Bill of Quantities with real supplier part numbers, in metric or imperial -- down to the screws and nails
