Voice input

Talk like you're on the jobsite.

Describe the work the way you'd tell your foreman. Rough notes, casual language, half-finished thoughts. Rafter turns it into something you can hand to a client.

What you say
"Framing a two-story addition on the south side, about 1,200 square feet. Client wants engineered trusses. Five days with my crew of four."
What Rafter generates
Scope of Work: Construct wood-frame addition (approx. 1,200 SF) on south elevation of existing structure. Work includes wall framing, floor system, and installation of pre-engineered roof trusses per manufacturer specifications. Estimated duration: 5 working days, 4-person crew.
Who it's for

GCs. Tradespeople. Anyone who runs a crew.

If you spend more time in a truck than at a desk — and you still have to bid jobs, run crews, and handle your own paperwork — Rafter was built for you.

It's personal

Built for the brain that builds things.

Doug is a builder. His son Iggy is a 22-year-old carpenter already taking on his own side work. Both of them have ADHD — a superpower on site, and kryptonite at a desk. All the drive, vision, and energy to build anything. Zero patience for navigating software just to generate a change order.

So Carrie — communications professional, and the person who has spent years helping the doers in her family get out of their own way — had an idea. What if there were a tool that matched how contractors actually think? Fast, direct, voice-first. Talk through your notes, get a professional document back in seconds, and get back to the job.

The three of them built Rafter together. Doug brought the field knowledge. Iggy brought the crew perspective. Carrie brought the clarity. Whether you have ADHD or just have better things to do than wrestle with software, Rafter was built for you.

— Carrie, Doug & Iggy
"Every hour stuck behind a desk comes at the price of an hour I could have spent on the jobsite."
Doug, builder & co-founder
"I was figuring out proposals by trial and error. Rafter is what I wish I'd had on day one to avoid a lot of frustration."
Iggy, carpenter & co-founder
"I have so much free time now!"
