Incomplete cost and uncalculated work
No prices entered.
No market prices; costs omit labor, delivery, utilities and unpriced items.
- Garage door mechanism, header capacity and slab reinforcement
- Opening framing: NOT_CALCULATED
- Foundation, footing and anchor engineering
- Snow, wind, seismic loads and member sizing
- Connection capacity and fastening design
- Electrical systems and drainage engineering
- Labor, delivery, unpriced materials
- Post/beam/rafter connections and floor-panel fasteners
- Railing infill, privacy-wall backing and roof longitudinal overhang support
- Header/jamb redesign at openings; nominal studs are not removed
- High-wall and roof-end infill framing
- Geometric cladding/covering stock layout
Template and calculation assumptions
- Member spacing includes both endpoints. Different profiles use independent stock pools.
- Openings subtract cladding, not structural members. Header/jamb framing is not designed.
- Fasteners follow editable per-connection/per-panel assumptions; preliminary quantities only.
- Roof slope is measured across width; ridge runs along length. Overhang extends projected roof on all sides.
- Board counts include a full-width final board for trimming. Panel grids do not reuse offcuts between planes.
- Cladding fasteners use a rectangular fixing grid at the editable stud/fixing spacing in both directions, including endpoints on full wall bounding boxes; openings are not deducted. This is a conservative preliminary assumption, not connection design.
Why other templates were excluded

Example and dimensions
Editable example: 6 × 4 m, walls 2.6 m, 2.8 × 2.2 m opening on the west wall, 0.6 m studs, 25° roof, 0.25 m overhang. Slab volume is shown only after entering thickness.
Required inputs
External dimensions, roof and slope or consistent ridge height, framing profiles and spacing, opening sizes and positions, storage strip or partition, cladding and roof panels, floor or slab, usable and physical sheet dimensions, stock lengths, reserve and user prices.
Formulas and assumptions
Footprint = length × width. Clean zones exclude wall depth and partition thickness. Openings must fit without overlap or partition-junction collision and deduct cladding area. GAR-01 is mono-pitch with one vehicle opening; GAR-02 adds a gable roof and optional storage strip and side openings; GAR-03 divides garage and workshop with a partition. Nominal studs remain across openings. Panels cover full wall bounding rectangles; no opening offcut reuse. Slab volume = footprint × supplied thickness.
Geometric consumption, parts, stock, offcuts, kerf and user reserve are separate. Stock without a layout algorithm is NOT_CALCULATED. Fasteners are preliminary estimates from explicit spacing and connection-count assumptions. Prices come from the user; labor, delivery, utilities and unpriced items are excluded.
Limitations
Preliminary quantities only. No header capacity, garage-door mechanism, slab reinforcement, foundations, drainage or electrical design. No structural, wind, snow, seismic, fire or building-code certification. Vehicle-zone minimums are template constraints.
