For Small Business Week, we’re shining a spotlight on Design with Frank.

Design with Frank is changing how custom homes are designed. Through their platform, FRANK, users can design homes that meet their specific needs, with architectural intelligence making the process easier and more accessible.

Their latest product, Deta.Studio, helps architects and design professionals manage construction more efficiently. Users can upload floorplans and integrate live construction data, keeping track of cost estimates, material specs, schedules, and more without switching between multiple tools. 🏗️
