Plan the vehicle space, structure, drainage, property placement, and connection to the house before construction. Use one coordinated package for permit review, contractor pricing, and project decisions.
A useful drawing package brings attached and detached carports, wood and metal structures, RV clearances, storage options, roof forms, foundations, site placement, permits, and contractor details into one coordinated view. That makes the project easier to understand, review, price, and build.
Begin with vehicle and clearance needs, proposed footprint, house dimensions for attached work, roof and material preferences, post locations, drainage, property information, setbacks, and local permit requirements. HomeCat checks the property's zoning automatically and uses the applicable requirements to guide the plan. From there, the drawings can be shaped around the actual property and the decisions that matter to the project, with permit or professional-review items clearly flagged when they need attention.
Sign in, choose the property, and enter the size and key requirements.
HomeCat checks zoning and develops the layout, site fit, and drawing package.
Save the project and export measured drawings, quantities, and cost inputs.
HomeCat keeps the project dimensions connected to material quantities and cost inputs as the plan changes.
HomeCat captures bay width, depth, vehicle spacing, door-swing zones, headroom, and driveway approach geometry.
HomeCat measures roof area, pitch, beam spans, rafter lengths, post spacing, and overhangs.
HomeCat records every column centerline, setback, base elevation, footing diameter, and footing depth.
HomeCat totals roofing, beams, rafters, posts, purlins, bracing, flashing, and drainage components by size and length.

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.
A typical package includes Carport floor and roof plans, Exterior elevations, Post and foundation layout, Site and permit drawings. HomeCat tailors the sheets and level of detail to the project, property, applicable permit requirements, and professional scope.
Prepare vehicle and clearance needs, proposed footprint, house dimensions for attached work, roof and material preferences, post locations, drainage, property information, setbacks, and local permit requirements. Better source information reduces assumptions and makes review comments easier to resolve.
Yes. HomeCat builds one coordinated package for permit applications, contractor pricing, and construction coordination, including the project-specific documents and licensed professional input.
Yes. HomeCat provides architectural and engineering drawings with licensed professional review and stamping. The review and stamp are coordinated as part of the final drawing package.
