How to know the difference
Ad
A new software app for Home Designers will be launching soon.
Do you want to become a Beta user? 

This app will assist users with Wall Bracing Panel sizing and placement. 

IRC Wall Bracing is one of the most cumbersome and confusing parts of the building code. 

This new app will help you calculate and produce wall panel drawings quickly and accurately.

If you would like to become one of the first to use and offer feedback as a test user, please reach out.

This opportunity will only be offered to AIBD members and seats will be limited.

Please email info@bracelinecalc.com for more information.
