How choosing a plan works

Start with fit, then choose

01

Check project fit

Answer the guided questions about your space. Unsupported conditions stop here, before anything is generated.

02

Review your inputs

Confirm every measurement and site condition on the review sheet. Nothing is generated from inputs you have not seen.

03

Generate your plan package

Your dimensions, views, materials, cut list, cost guidance, and PDF all come from the same confirmed inputs.

04

Choose how to continue

Browse the free fixed templates, or select Basic or Custom for full plan files. Paid plan access is completed through secure checkout after project fit is confirmed.

Paid plan access does not override project-fit checks or safety stops. CatioPlanner is a DIY planning aid, not stamped engineering drawings or local-code approval. Verify all dimensions, loads, fasteners, anchoring, site conditions, and permit requirements before building.

Quick answer

Catio Plan Packages, explained

CatioPlanner offers Free, Basic, and Custom paths for different planning needs. Free templates remain unpublished until verified; Basic covers one supported project with core coordinated files; Custom adds expanded build files, editable project data, and more recalculations. Every option remains a planning aid and requires independent checks of dimensions, structure, anchoring, permits, and local rules.

Common questions

What is the difference between Basic and Custom?

Basic provides the core coordinated files for one supported project. Custom includes those files plus a cut list, tool list, cost range, editable Project JSON, and additional recalculations.

Are verified free templates available now?

Not yet. The Free library remains in verification, and no template is published until its measurements, materials, instructions, and safety boundaries are checked.

Does buying a package make the plan construction-ready?

No. Every package is a DIY planning aid. Dimensions, site conditions, structural loads, anchoring, permits, and local code requirements still need independent verification.
