3D metal and steel building configurator software
Configurix connects metal building systems, dimensions, roof forms, frames, bays, lean-tos, cladding, openings, insulation, packages, account pricing, freight and quotes in one guided 3D project—from the first online concept to a reviewed order handoff.
Connected metal-building project
One building connects every option, quantity, price, quote and review.
Metal building configuration software defined
A connected metal building configurator begins with the manufacturer's real building systems and sales constraints. Span, length, eave height, roof form, slope, bays, lean-tos, canopies, cladding, openings, insulation and packages remain attached to one governed building state.
The same configuration can calculate a budget or quote from floor area, frame or bay count, panel areas, trims, openings, packages, freight, erection, foundations or visible allowances. A dimensional or option change updates the saved project instead of forcing sales to reconcile a visualizer, spreadsheet and proposal template by hand.
The governed catalogue can power a public website, builder or dealer portal, showroom and internal estimating desk. Each channel can receive the correct systems, territories, price lists, costs, margins, documents and actions while preserving one project identity and revision history.
The visual model is not structural analysis, a foundation design, code approval, stamped drawing, shop drawing or erection plan. Configurix can collect location, intended use, design criteria and review evidence while qualified teams and authorities remain responsible for the real building.
Interactive metal-building platform planner
A public steel-kit designer, dealer CPQ and rigid-frame engineering handoff need different data, permissions and evidence. Use the planner to expose the right scope.
Recommended operating scope
Preserve span, length, eave height, roof geometry, bays, cranes, mezzanines, canopies, openings and envelope choices while the responsible team verifies occupancy, site, codes, loads, serviceability, fire, energy, foundations, connections and erection requirements.
Persistent project record
Concept geometry · intended use · site and jurisdiction · load criteria · special systems · openings · review questions · engineer decision · approved revision
Required release gates
The implementation follows the manufacturer's actual systems, commercial rules, dealer network, engineering questions and required outputs—not a generic colour-changing building model.
Guide buyers through the exact structural-system families and ranges you sell.
Keep layout choices attached to their frame and project relationships.
Connect every visible surface to a real catalogue and quantity basis.
Place products in valid wall and bay zones with explicit constraints.
Continue the configured building into the correct account context.
Preserve accepted identity when the project moves beyond sales.
One connected process
The customer, dealer, salesperson, estimator and engineering team can continue the same building while each role owns the decisions it is qualified to make.
Choose the system
Select the manufacturer, frame or post-frame system, market and intended-use context before exposing dimensions and options.
Configure the building
Change span, length, height, roof, bays, additions, panels, openings, insulation and packages while rules stay active.
Build the offer
Apply the correct account context, price basis, allowances, terms, assumptions and revisioned proposal.
Review and release
Record site, commercial and engineering decisions before the accepted configuration moves to the next system.
Use this comparison to separate an attractive steel-building render from software that can govern catalogue, quantities, account price, quote revision and reviewed handoff.
| Decision | Generic building visualizer | Connected Configurix workflow |
|---|---|---|
| System identity | A named building style | Stable manufacturer, system, market, catalogue and revision identity |
| Geometry | The model stretches visually | Permitted span, length, height, roof, bay and addition relationships |
| Openings | Doors and windows drag anywhere | Wall, bay, corner, column, bracing, eave and collision rules |
| Envelope | Colours change on screen | Panel, coating, trim, liner, insulation, quantity and availability data |
| Pricing | A baseline square-foot total | Traceable components, quantities, rates, account terms and price revision |
| Site and loads | A postcode and generic disclaimer | Structured location, use, criteria, owner, review and approval state |
| Quote revision | A screenshot or detached PDF | Document reconciles to building, quantities, price, freight and services |
| Operational output | A generic option summary | Verified system, takeoff, procurement or configured-order mapping |
| Catalogue change | Saved designs can silently change | Rules, assets, prices, outputs and reopen behaviour are governed |
