Construction & Building Products

CPQ and quoting software for construction products manufacturers.

For the people who manufacture the building, not the people who assemble it on site. Span, height, loading, cladding, openings, finish and code requirements interact, and the price moves with all of them.

AltoLeap builds the quoting systems that replace those spreadsheets: around your product rules, not a generic template.

The challenge

A pre-engineered building is not a catalogue item

Most manufacturers quote this in a spreadsheet that one or two people fully understand. That makes quoting slow, makes it risky when those people are away, and makes onboarding a new salesperson a matter of months.

Span, loading, openings and finish all interact, and the price moves with each one

What is buildable lives in engineering's heads, not in the quoting tool

Takeoffs, coatings and freight get estimated from last quarter's spreadsheet

Proposals, schedules and specifications are assembled by hand after the fact

Non-standard jobs stall waiting for someone to notice they need sign-off

Quoting capacity is capped by the two people who know the rules

Who this is for

If you configure and price a product that is manufactured and then shipped to a site, this is you

Pre-engineered & modular buildings

Steel buildings, modular units and kits configured per project.

Structural systems

Frames, joists, decking and assemblies priced by span and load.

Cladding & envelope products

Panels, roofing, glazing systems and finishes with coating options.

Engineered components

Made-to-order parts and assemblies sold into construction projects.

This is not a page about software for general contractors or site management

We do not build project scheduling, bid management or field software. If that is what you are after, we are the wrong firm and would rather say so here than on a call.

A custom CPQ platform for a highly configurable product, delivered in two phases

Quoting was slow and error-prone. We built a guided configurator, part and catalogue management, automated branded quote generation, and a multi-level approval workflow.

What we build

Where the leverage is in construction products quoting

Four places where encoding the rules once changes what the quoting team can do.

Rules that encode what is buildable

Span and loading constraints, code requirements, and combinations your engineering team knows are impossible. Encoded once, applied on every quote, including the ones produced by whoever is covering on a Friday afternoon.

Pricing that follows the configuration

Material takeoffs, finish and coating options, freight by size and destination, and customer-specific terms. Priced from the configuration rather than from last quarter's spreadsheet.

Quote documents that go out as they are

Branded proposals with the drawings, schedules and specifications the customer needs, generated from the configuration rather than assembled by hand afterwards.

Approvals that route to the right person

Discount thresholds and engineering exceptions routed rather than chased, so a non-standard job does not stall waiting for someone to notice it.

Drawings and CAD

If your quoting bottleneck is really a drafting bottleneck, that is a different piece of work

Many building products manufacturers need both, usually in that order: get quoting right first, then automate what it produces.

FAQ

Construction CPQ, answered

Is CPQ software for construction different from general CPQ?+

The engine is the same; the rules are not. Construction products carry constraints general CPQ rarely models well: span and load relationships, code compliance, finish and coating systems, and freight that depends on physical size rather than weight alone. Those are the parts that decide whether a system fits.

Do you work with contractors or with manufacturers?+

Manufacturers. We build quoting, configuration and operations software for companies that make building products. We do not build project management, bid management or field software for contractors.

Can you quote a building that has not been engineered yet?+

Yes, within limits. A configurator can price to a level of confidence that is good enough to win the job, using rules that describe what is buildable, and flag what still needs engineering sign-off. Where that line sits is a decision we make with your engineering team, not a setting in the software.

Can it generate the drawings and schedules with the quote?+

Where the product is rules-driven and your CAD system exposes an API, yes. That work is covered on our CAD drawing automation page. It is usually a second phase rather than part of the first.

Will it integrate with our ERP?+

Normally yes, and normally it should. Your ERP owns parts, costs, inventory and production; the quoting system consumes that and hands its output back. We have built ERP-integrated quoting in production, including a front end on Infor Baan.

What does a first phase cost?+

Most first phases fall in the $50,000 to $100,000 range, depending on complexity, integrations and data. The AI Opportunity Blueprint is a $2,000 fixed-price way to scope it first, credited toward Phase 1 if you go ahead.

How long does a first phase take?+

The Enrich platform was delivered in two phases. We scope Phase 1 to one product family so it reaches production before the scope widens, rather than building everything and launching nothing.
