Before and after

Before: Drawn from scratch, every permit

Every permit application needs riser diagrams for the drainage and the gas. Each one gets drawn from nothing, for every job.

We built a drawing tool that knows what a riser is.

Pieces that snap together, fixtures that know what they are, and output the application expects.

After: Pieces that know what they are

Contractors draw the risers, print them with the permit tech cards and get back to the work that pays.

What we built

  • Drainage and gas risers

    DWV and gas riser diagrams drawn from fixture and pipe pieces that snap together.

  • Permit-ready output

    Diagrams print with the permit tech cards the application asks for.

  • For contractors, not engineers

    No site plans and no floor plans: just the diagrams a plumbing permit needs.

  • Accounts and plans

    Contractors sign up, sign in and choose a plan, with a free tier to try it first.

Worth knowing

  • Started inside a toolkit

    The drawing engine began as part of a contracting company's internal tools and was rebuilt as its own product.
