Your first job free

A new company account's first job is free: the Estimator, the 3D Designer and the cut sheet — everything on that one job.

After that, the prices above. The price is always on the button before you press it.

A card is needed to start. Nothing is charged until you buy something; cancel any time. 3 sample jobs to look around — they can't be sent or printed for a customer.

Layout tiers

Standard

$100

A normal cage. The same numbers repeat through most of it.

Cut up

$200

Angles, jogs and many individual numbers.

Custom

$300

Heavy custom work. The most any cage costs.

One flat price per cage. No square-footage charge. No cage costs more than $300.

Why complexity sets the tier

A large square cage can repeat the same few measurements.

A smaller cut-up cage may have angled walls, jogs and pieces that each require a separate calculation.

That is why a cut-up 2,000 sq ft cage can cost more to lay out than a plain 4,000 sq ft cage.

Every layout receives a name contractors already understand: Standard, Cut up or Custom.

Pricing was calibrated on 237 real completed cage layouts from a working Florida cage company.

Free re-runs

Pay once for the cage.

If a field measurement needs correcting, fix the number and run the same cage again.

There is no second layout charge for re-running that cage.

A correction is free within 14 days of the charge, when it is a measuring fix: the same cage, with no more than 5 side or height readings changed in all, none of them by more than 24 inches. Changing a gutter or a member size is also free. More than that is more than a measuring fix: email [email protected] and tell us what happened — we look at each one. A different cage on the same job is a new layout.

Made an honest mistake that falls outside that, such as a number written down backwards? Email [email protected], tell us what happened, and we will look at it and can reset the correction for that cage.

A man who hesitates to re-run a layout is a man shipping a cage he knows is wrong.

What the price includes

Every completed layout includes:

It will not print a shop sheet while a post is still unmeasured or the deck's squareness has not been checked, and every sheet checks itself before it prints.

Unsupported designs

You are never charged for a layout the software refuses as unsupported.

If a design is not supported, Cage Layout Pro identifies it instead of attempting to calculate it.

Contact Curtis if your company regularly builds a cage style that is not yet supported.
