Parametric geometry
Span, length, eaves height, roof pitch, bay spacing, overhangs. The structure regenerates on every change.
Offer 01 — 3D Configurator
A building drawn, a price on screen.
Configure a steel building or structure in the browser and immediately get its weight, its bill of materials and its selling price.
No CAD licence to install, no files to exchange. Your sales rep configures during the visit, the customer sees the result, the quote comes out right after.
Available in the browser. A Windows app for the configurator is under development.
What the configurator does
Instant estimate
Steel weight, cladding and roofing quantities, fabrication and erection hours, purchases, margin: the price follows the geometry.
Detailed bill of materials
Portal frames, purlins, side rails, bracing, base plates, bolts. Every part is marked, with its length and weight.
Your catalogue
Your profiles, your grades, your finishes, your hourly rates and your coefficients. Material prices follow your supplier rates.
Openings and equipment
Sectional doors, gates, personnel doors, windows, rooflights, gutters and downpipes: added to the model and to the price.
Usable output
Quote, bill of materials, 3D views and marking plans. The project can be sent to the engineering office for completion and validation, then carried over to the ERP.

Your data, not a price list
A configurator running on average prices is useless: you do not buy steel at the average price and your workshop does not produce at average speed. The configurator works on your catalogue, your rates and your times. What comes out can be defended in front of a customer.
- Profile and grade catalogue importable from your own files
- Supplier rates and coefficients per family
- Fabrication times per process and per workstation
- Margin rules and discounts per customer type
On its own or wired to the ERP
Configurator alone
You quote faster and issue clean documents. Your other tools stay untouched.
Configurator + ERP / MES
The estimating file is carried over to the ERP and can be sent to the engineering office. After the required design work and approvals, the ERP supports purchasing, fabrication planning and delivery.
The ERP is also available on mobile: the App Store for iOS and Google Play for Android.

01Is there anything to install?+
No installation is needed for the web version: the configurator runs in the browser, on desktops and laptops. A Windows app is also under development.
02Can it be put in a customer’s hands?+
Yes. The configurator can be published self-service, with your prices or with a dedicated price grid, and you receive the request already priced.
03Which kinds of structures are covered?+
Portal-frame industrial and agricultural buildings, canopies, simple frames, as well as configurable metalwork items. Typologies are configurable to match your production.
04Is the price reliable?+
It is worth exactly what your settings are worth. The configurator applies your catalogue and your times, which is why the initial setup is done with you.
