Framing Method Decision Cards & Visual Comparison Deck
A laminated, field-ready deck of 40-60 cards organized by architectural feature (sloped walls, cathedral ceilings, angled soffits, etc.), each showing 2-3 competing framing methods side-by-side with isometric drawings, material lists, load paths, cost estimates, and structural reasoning. Cards are indexed by complexity level and include a quick-reference decision tree printed on the box lid. Designed to fit in a tool belt or truck cab.

Value Proposition
Eliminates forum-hopping and conflicting advice by providing a single, authoritative, visual reference that shows WHY one method is better than another in specific conditions. Contractors use it to justify method choice to clients and inspectors; homeowners use it to avoid costly rework. Fits the actual job site (not a screen).
Target Audience
DIY homeowners tackling renovation projects, independent contractors and small framing crews (1-5 person shops), building inspectors who need to communicate code-compliant methods to homeowners
Key Features
- Isometric and sectional drawings for each method (not photos or diagrams alone)
- Structural reasoning: load path, fastening schedule, material specs for each method
- Cost comparison: lumber, fasteners, labor hours for each approach
- And more, with full implementation detail...

DIY homeowners struggle to determine correct structural framing methods for complex architectural features like sloped wallsDIY homeowners and contractors face uncertainty when framing non-standard architectural elements like sloped walls, lacking clear guidance on which structural approach is correct or superior. Current solutions (fragmented online forums, conflicting advice from multiple sources) fail to provide authoritative, visual comparisons of competing methods with structural reasoning. This uncertainty leads to costly mistakes, safety concerns, and project delays.
