🏗️ Building & Construction
Practical tools · Smarter workflows · Better building solutions
Construction has always been about solving practical problems. Whether it's roof framing, estimating materials, visualising building layouts, or simplifying repetitive calculations, the right tools can save valuable time and improve accuracy.
This section brings together a collection of construction-related projects developed over many years. Some have been created from the ground up, while others have evolved from real challenges encountered in the building industry.
🛠️ Practical Building Tools
The applications and utilities found here are designed to assist builders, estimators, designers, detailers, and anyone with an interest in residential construction.
Projects include:
- 🏠 Roof design and framing utilities.
- 📐 Building and construction calculators.
- 📏 Material estimating tools.
- 🪚 Roof geometry and layout applications.
- 🧱 Truss and framing utilities.
- 🖥️ Interactive building visualisation projects.
- 🔌 WordPress plugins and client-specific developments.
💡 Built From Experience
Every project has been inspired by real-world situations where existing software was missing a feature, too complicated, or simply didn't work the way it should.
The goal is always the same:
Create practical tools that make construction work simpler, faster, and more accurate.

Whether you're looking for specialised roof framing tools, estimating calculators, client projects, or software developed for the construction industry, I hope you'll find something useful throughout this collection.
These should all open in new windows. All are works in progress and will one day combine to something useful. Most have components for experimentation for other apps.
