What it does
Inside AluEstimator
Functionality available in the product today.
Structured estimation
Build an estimate from profiles, hardware, glass and labour instead of a blank spreadsheet, so two people quoting the same job reach the same number.
Material and rate management
Keep profile sections, hardware and rates in one place and update them once, rather than in every copy of last month's quote.
Costed breakdowns
See where the money sits in a job — material against labour against margin — before the quote goes out.
Customer-ready quotations
Produce a clean, consistent quotation document from the estimate, without rebuilding it by hand.
What we are building next
These features are in development and are not available yet. They are listed here so you know where AluEstimator is going before you commit to it.
Cutting and nesting optimisation
Working towards laying cuts out across stock lengths automatically, so the offcut left at the end of a bar is as small as the job allows.
Supplier rate updates
Bringing current material rates in from your suppliers, so an estimate is priced against this week's costs rather than a rate list someone last touched months ago.
Branded quotation templates
Quotations that go out on your own letterhead and layout, without anyone rebuilding the document by hand each time.
AluEstimator questions
Who is AluEstimator for?
Aluminium fabricators and window or façade contractors who currently estimate jobs in spreadsheets and want the process to be consistent between staff and repeatable between jobs.
Can it be adapted to our rates and profiles?
Yes. Materials, profiles and rates are yours to maintain, and we regularly adapt the product to how a particular fabricator works.
Can we see it before deciding?
Yes — ask for a walkthrough and we will show you the actual software against a job similar to the ones you quote.
See AluEstimator on your own numbers
We will walk you through AluEstimator using a job like the ones you quote — not a generic demo dataset.
