LumberJack AI — Takeoff & Estimating Log in Become a partner
🚧 Truss Review is in active development — coming soon. Below is a preview of what's on the way.

Preliminary truss intelligence · Coming soon

Preliminary truss review
in minutes. Not days.

LumberJack AI reads the plan set and gives your truss designers the details they need upfront — spans, truss profiles, chords, heel heights, board footage and girder layout — so they design and quote faster instead of starting from zero.

Preliminary output — your licensed truss designer finalizes & seals.

Hours → minutes

Turn a plan set into a preliminary truss package while the coffee's still hot.

The details they need

Spans, profiles, chords, heel, board footage — your designer confirms & quotes, not recreates.

Your drawing format

Fields laid out like a MiTek / Alpine engineering drawing your team already reads.

Girders auto-identified

Hips, valleys and girder setbacks flagged from the roof geometry.

The partnership model

Give your truss designers a running start — without the busywork.

LumberJack AI is the intelligence and preparation layer. Your licensed professional stays the final authority.

Every number, labeled by who owns it.

No guesswork about what's measured, what's assumed, and what only your engineer can certify.

● Exact — from the plans

Geometry you can trust

Clear spans, bearing lines, pitch, chord lengths, heel height, overall height, truss count.

● Preliminary — FL defaults

A working head start

Loading block, gravity reactions, lumber & plate type, board footage, bracing — flagged to confirm.

● Sealed — your designer

The engineer's call

Member forces, plate sizes, deflection, wind uplift and the PE seal. We never compute these.

Built to your engineering drawing

It speaks your team's language.

The package maps onto the same anatomy as a MiTek or Alpine drawing — so a designer reads it in seconds.

Why truss partners choose LumberJack AI

Span & bearing detection

Reads bearing lines and splits the roof into the real truss spans — not a bounding box.

Girder auto-ID

Hips, valleys and girder setbacks flagged straight from the roof geometry.

Partition isolation

Flags non-bearing walls under trusses for the deflection gap framers miss.

Florida-code aware

Loads templated to ASCE 7-22 / FBC 2023; HVHZ and wind uplift flagged for the designer.

Your drawing format

MiTek / Alpine field anatomy — no translation, no relearning.

🔒

Preliminary, not final

Your PE stays the final authority. We accelerate the work; we don't replace the seal.

Become a founding truss partner.

Truss manufacturers and lumber yards: receive AI-prepared preliminary details and put your designers' hours where they matter — designing, quoting and sealing, not redrawing.

Truss Partner seats — $250 / seat / month, unlimited truss uploads & prelim reviews.

Preliminary output — final member sizing, plates, and seal by your licensed truss designer.
