Check the timber list against the drawing before cutting

A revised dormer changes two rafters just before the timber order. Keep project dates and component count together, enter species, section, length and quantity in the separate timber list, and compare both with the current drawing.

  1. Keep the workshop on the right revision

    The project records site, timber, estimated volume, component count, cutting window and planned installation. Mark the current drawing revision and open questions in the working documents.

  2. Check each timber line

    The separate list stores project label, species, section, length, quantity and quality. It is not generated from the project; compare it with the drawings.

  3. Match cutting time and material

    The weekly cutting plan uses project component count and dates. It does not create a checked cut list or guarantee matching timber in stock.

How Sektura helps with everyday work

Example: a wider dormer changes two rafters

The framing job has a provisional cutting slot. Before ordering timber, the foreman receives a revised dormer drawing. Rafter lengths and bearing points must be checked or the workshop may cut the wrong pieces.

  1. Identify the current plan

    Compare revisions and note which drawing applies and which bearing detail still needs professional review.

  2. Revise the timber list

    Correct rafter species, sections, lengths and counts in the separate list; compare other lines and the project component count.

  3. Confirm the cutting slot

    Check stock or delivery for the required quality, settle necessary structural information and coordinate cutting and installation dates.

The workshop receives a checked list tied to the current plan. Structural approval remains a separate professional decision.

Getting started is simple

How it works

  1. Create a fictional roof project

    Enter site, timber type, estimated volume, component count and sample cutting and installation dates.

  2. Enter two separate timber lines

    Try a rafter and purlin with section, length and quantity; use a consistent project label.

  3. Review plan and stock

    See which dates and component counts appear in the weekly plan, then compare them with the list and available timber.

Questions before you start

Does the project generate a verified timber list?
No. The timber list is entered separately. Check its parts, quantities and drawing revision yourself.
Does the structural area calculate or approve the roof?
No. It stores entered information and results; required calculations and approval belong to qualified professionals.
Does the cutting schedule guarantee timber is available?
No. It uses project dates and component count. Verify suitable stock and delivery before committing to installation.

Before ordering or cutting

Confirm drawing revision, dimensions, sections, timber quality and required structural documents for the actual build. A project status or filled list is not technical sign-off.
