The manual, error-prone leap between tracing a PDF and typing data into Excel is the primary source of margin erosion in Australian fabrication.
Traditional spreadsheets are disconnected from the drawing. We’ve replaced that with a Closed-Loop Data Flow. In Quadrant Zero, the Geometry is the Data Source. As you trace a beam, the system automatically pulls the length, segments, and count to calculate the costs in real-time.
A senior engineer builds a standard toolkit once. A junior estimator then "paints" that logic onto drawings to produce perfect, company-standard pricing.
Because the math is tethered to the design, any change to a beam length instantly updates the weight, weld time, and paint volume without manual typing.
Every cent in our Bill of Materials is linked to a specific coordinate on the drawing. If a formula is questioned, you can see exactly where it came from.
The logic becomes a visual instruction set. We generate PDF markups so the floor team gets a visual guide that exactly matches the quoted price.
