Spans, bays, eaves, pitch, claddings, openings. Inputs you'd write on the back of an envelope — not "workflow modules" or "synergies".
Steel grades, cladding defaults, connection allowances, concrete mixes. Set once, reused on every estimate. No more chasing the Excel that has the latest figures.
Your client sees the actual building on page 2 of the PDF. Dimensioned, ridge marked, north arrow on. No more "find me a drawing for the quote" panic.
The whole flow in five steps. Each one less than a minute on a building you've quoted before.
Enter company details, VAT, payment terms, logo. Used on every quote going forward.
Steel sections, cladding, concrete grades, connection allowances. Tab across, type your numbers. Every estimate uses them.
Type your spans, bay centres, eaves, pitch, openings. The price and canvas update live as you input.
Tweak the wording, the mode, the discounts. The PDF preview updates as you change settings. No print-and-pray.
Page 2 of every quote: plan view, all four wall elevations, and a building-spec table. Dimensioned. Ridge marked. North arrow on. "INDICATIVE ONLY" stamp on. Done.
