Sheet A-8 · QuestionsStraight answers

Questions.

Is StudSheet free?

Yes. Sheets, jobs, the shopping list and build mode are free for homeowners, always. Pro tools are free at launch. There are no in-app purchases.

Do I need an account?

Not for Sheets, jobs, lists, the Tool Shed or the pro notebook: they’re saved on your device. An account is only for the community, sync between devices, the lead board, client links and card payments.

When is it on iPhone and Android?

The apps are waiting for App Store and Google Play approval. Until then StudSheet runs in any browser at app.studsheet.com, and you can add it to your home screen.

Does it work in Canada?

Yes. Set your province for the National Building Code, the CEC and provincial notes, and pick metric if you like. US prices aren’t shown in Canada.

Where do the numbers come from?

Each Sheet’s math runs on your device and shows its work under “How we got this”, with the code section or manufacturer guide it relies on. Anything that isn’t a published rule is marked typical. Code notes are a starting point: confirm with your building department.

Will it tell me how to wire a panel?

No. For homeowners, electrical, gas, plumbing and HVAC systems, additions and load-bearing walls go to a page on what’s involved and how to get quotes. Pros get quantities, costs, permits and inspection checklists, never step-by-step wiring or gas instructions.

Where do quote requests go?

Only to pros registered and verified in the app, up to 3 local pros per request. Pros see the job and the area; your contact goes only to a pro who responds. If no pros cover your area yet, the app says so and keeps your request open for 30 days.
