Bruce’s floorplan or permit set

Drawings

The sheets Give Me The Cost read from the uploaded set. Click a sheet to view it. On the floor plan, coloured pins show exactly where code issues were found.

These are the actual sheets from Bruce’s permit set, embedded so this stays one shareable file. Pin positions are illustrative placements for the demo.

Material takeoff

The app calculates the quantities from Bruce’s drawing dimensions. You enter the unit cost for each material — the total = quantity × your price. Costs start blank on purpose.

Project inputs

from Bruce’s drawings — edit any value

▸ Standard assumptions the app falls back on (only when a value isn't on the drawing)

Slab thickness: suspended 8", basement 4", garage 4" (OBC 9.16 min 3–4")
Strip footing: 16"×8" (OBC 9.15 min width 250 mm / 10", min thickness 100 mm / 4")
Foundation wall: 8" / 6" ICF core, 8' height
Spacing: wall studs & floor joists 16" o.c.; roof trusses 24" o.c.
Waste factor: +10% on framing, sheathing & drywall
Drywall: ½" walls / ⅝" ceilings, 32 ft² per 4×8 sheet

Concrete discounts: Polar Mix −$8/m³ 2% prompt-pay

Total (incl. +40% markup) $0

Pricing: concrete now uses Bruce’s supplier price list (cost per m³ by mix class) and every total adds the markup (default 40%). Mapping: footings/walls/basement → 20 MPa no-air $133 · suspended slab → 30 MPa no-air $148 · garage → 35 MPa C-1 air $171 (nearest to the 32 spec). Rebar (Bruce): 15M $1,800/t · 20M $2,100 · 25M $3,000 · 30M $3,000. Change ceiling height 9–25 ft to update stud lengths & counts.

▸ Concrete supplier price list (per m³, before markup)

20 MPa NO AIR (20N200) — $133 | 25 MPa (25N200) — $138 | 30 MPa (30N200) — $148
35 MPa NO AIR (35N200) — $158 | 40 MPa (40N200) — $169 | 50 MPa (50N200) — $190
25 MPa F-2 4–7% air (25F200) — $148 | 30 MPa F-2 (30F200) — $158
35 MPa C-1 5–8% air (35X200) — $171 | 40 MPa C-1 (40X200) — $185 | 50 MPa C-1 (50X200) — $198

Supplier notes: Polar Mix discount −$8/m³; 2% off for 30-day prompt payment (not auto-applied — subtract from cost if it applies).

Ontario Building Code review

A real Part 9 check. Enter the value from the drawing for each item — it’s compared live against the actual OBC requirement. Blank = not checked yet.

14 real OBC Part 9 checks — egress 9.9.10, stairs 9.8.2/9.8.4, handrail 9.8.7, guards & window fall protection 9.8.8, ceiling 9.5.3, hallway 9.5.7, door 9.5.5, smoke/CO 9.10.19, safety glazing 9.7.2. Enter the value from the drawing; it checks live against the real threshold. Auto-reading these off a drawing is the Claude-vision step. Approval likelihood is capped at 99% \u2014 this tool can’t issue formal approvals; the final 1% and the official decision rest with your municipal plan examiner.
