Mike R. · Framing contractor
What's the fastener spacing for LP SmartSide lap siding on a 16" o.c. stud wall?
BuildCoreIQ · answered in 3.2s
For SmartSide lap siding on 16" o.c. framing, use 6d box nails (min. 2" length) at each stud, top and bottom. Maintain 3/8" edge distance [Source 1, p.12]. Allow 3/16" gap at butt joints [Source 2, p.4].
The Problem
You didn't get into trades
to read PDFs.
Every install question, weird corner detail, or “what gauge do I need” moment pulls you back to a 90-page manual, a supplier hold queue, or a group chat with 200 unread messages.
Digging through PDFs
One nail spacing spec shouldn't take 20 minutes to find.
Calling the supplier
On hold for 15 minutes to ask a 15-second question.
Jobsite chaos
Photos in texts, files in email, specs on someone's desk. No single source.
Costly mistakes
One tear-out wipes the profit from a whole week.
The Fix
Six tools. One app. Zero excuses.
BuildCoreIQ replaces the rep call, the jobsite group text, the printed spec sheet, the estimator app, and the training binder — all on the phone your crew already has.

Jobsite project hub
Files, photos, team chat, tasks, and estimates per job — shared with your whole crew.

What People Are Saying
Built by people who've lived it.
“Saved me two hours on a siding job last week. Asked one question, got the exact fastener pattern with the page from the manual. Felt like cheating.”
Mike R.

“My new hire was answering spec questions at the counter after two days. The training quizzes made it measurable. That normally takes six months of ride-alongs.”
Sarah L.
Manager · Westland Building Supply
“The projects feature alone is worth it. Every file from the site is in one place. No more lost texts, no more 'hey send me that photo again.'”
