Move from an idea to a clear drawing package. HomeCat helps you plan the project, document the site, and produce the drawings a permit reviewer and builder need to understand the work.
A permit package has to do more than show a finished design. It needs to communicate size, location, structure, materials, and the relationship between the proposed work and the existing property.
HomeCat brings those views together so the site plan, floor or framing plan, elevations, and details describe the same project. HomeCat checks the property's zoning automatically and flags the permit or professional-review items that apply to the work.
Enter the project type, property, approximate size, budget, and the features you want HomeCat to plan.
HomeCat checks zoning and coordinates the site, plans, elevations, structure, and project details in one model.
Save the project and export coordinated drawings for permits, contractor pricing, material planning, and construction.
HomeCat keeps the project dimensions connected to material quantities and cost inputs as the plan changes.
HomeCat captures the footprint, floor elevations, wall heights, roof slopes, and overall building height used across the permit set.
HomeCat measures every door, window, stair, landing, hallway, and exit path so plans, elevations, and sections stay coordinated.
HomeCat records setbacks, foundation extents, floor spans, bearing lines, and roof geometry needed to position and describe the work.
Coordinated foundation, floor, wall, and roof geometry supports takeoffs for concrete, lumber, sheathing, connectors, and roofing.
Door and window schedules combine with wall and roof areas to organize pricing for assemblies, finishes, flashing, and insulation.
A consistent drawing package exposes the full construction scope so estimators can price the same dimensions, details, and quantities.
Yes. HomeCat automatically checks the property's zoning requirements and uses them to guide the project. It also flags permit or professional-review items that still need attention.
The package often includes a site plan, plan views, elevations, sections, and project-specific structural or construction details. HomeCat selects the applicable sheets from the project, property, zoning check, and permit scope.
No. A rendering communicates appearance. Permit drawings communicate measurable information such as dimensions, location, assemblies, structure, height, and code-related details.
Yes. Reviewer comments can be incorporated into the coordinated plans so the site plan, plan views, elevations, and construction details stay aligned for resubmission.
Yes. A clear, coordinated scope helps contractors price the same project and reduces the assumptions hidden inside each quote.
