Software for oak frame builders: design, price and cut list in one

Aposlo Office for oak framers draws garages, carports, porches, gazebos and pergolas to size in 3D, with every post, plate, tie beam, brace, joint and peg. The price comes from your own oak and labour rates, and the workshop gets numbered piece drawings, joint details and a cutting list with lengths to order and cut.

A ready-made design studio for oak frames is part of the office.

Frames drawn properly

Members sit on each other the way you'd cut them: tie beams cogged over the plates, principals on a level seat, braces with housed shoulders, pegs at every joint. Brick plinths, padstones and the house wall behind a porch are in the model too.

From drawing to workshop

Every piece is numbered, like a flat pack. The cutting list has shoulder, cut and order lengths, scarfs for long runs, and piece drawings with every mortice and peg hole measured from the end.

Priced from your rates

Oak per cube, your hours per joint, raising crew, roofing and brickwork: you set them once in the price setup and every design is priced from them.

From yes to raised

Deposit when they say yes, purchase orders to the sawmill from the frame pack, workshop time and the raising on the programme, and the balance invoice when it's up.
