Plan analysis
What it takes to build this house
Construction intelligence, not a black box
The only $49 house-plan takeoff built to show its work.
Most early construction estimates hide their assumptions. BuildAHouse separates what is printed on the plans, what is calculated from verified geometry, what conflicts across revisions, and what remains TBD.
Evidence-backed
Plan facts, deterministic material calculations, confidence, and missing information stay distinct.
Honest about unknowns
When the drawings cannot support a quantity, BuildAHouse says so rather than inventing precision.
