Design automation software

01What it does

Design automation takes the rules your best designer works to and runs them on every job. A drawing or a set of options goes in: a DWG, a tender schedule, or choices made on screen. The software sets out the frame or places the kit, splits the product into what your factory makes and draws each part. Manufacturing drawings, cut lists and the bill of materials come out together from the same model, in minutes. When something changes, it runs again.

02Products it suits

• Light gauge steel, timber frame, volumetric and panelised homes
• Distribution boards, panelboards and control panels
• Packaged plant rooms, risers and corridor modules
• Bathroom and kitchen pods, utility and HIU cupboards

It suits anything built from a known catalogue or a known way of going together. If every job uses a different way of building, it suits it less, and we will say so.

03Start with one of your own jobs

Send us a real tender or schedule and a sample of your price file. We set your rules up and show you your own job being designed on a free 45-minute call. A workshop day with your estimators and designers follows, then a build in stages, each priced before it starts. You can stop at any review, and the work done so far is handed over. The finished tool can sit on a Revit toolbar and link to your ERP or price file.
