“For as long as I’ve been building DIY projects, I wished I could find plans that were built for my needs, rather than reworking someone else’s measurements. Well I couldn’t find it, so I built it. With Build Plans, now you can spend your time building rather than reworking.”

Matt

Founder. Building from a workshop in Portland, Oregon.
