CAD/CPQ system for roof production
Intelligent system for designing, calculating and preparing documentation for roofing structures
In the field of roof and roofing materials production, the accuracy of calculations directly affects the cost, production speed and the number of errors on the site. Manual creation of drawings, separate tables for calculations and complex communication between managers, engineers and production significantly slow down the company's work.
AVADA MEDIA has developed a CAD/CPQ system for roof production - an interactive platform that automates the entire cycle of working with roofing structures: from creating a parametric roof model to automatic calculation of materials, cost, and generation of technical documentation.
Parametric roof design
The system allows you to quickly create different types of roofs using ready-made templates and parametric settings. The user can select the type of structure and change its geometry in real time.
Various roof configurations are supported:
- gable;
- hip;
- attic;
- pyramidal;
- asymmetric structures;
- complex custom forms.
All parameters are edited through a convenient interface: width, height and depth, eaves height, slope angle, roof overhangs, you can add windows, chimney, ventilation, skylight, and choose the material and color of the roof.
Any changes automatically update the drawing and 3D model.
Live 3D visualization
One of the key features of the system is live-rendering of the 3D scene. The user immediately sees the result of changes in real time without the need for separate rendering or exporting of the model.
3D visualization allows you to:
- check the geometry of the structure;
- quickly detect errors;
- demonstrate the final appearance of the roof to the client;
- simplify project approval.
In parallel, the system generates technical drawings: plan, facades, sections, and roof slope diagrams.
Automatic calculation of materials and BOM
The CAD/CPQ system automatically generates a material specification based on the roof geometry. The system calculates:
- roof area;
- number of sheets or panels;
- overlap zones;
- additional elements;
- flashing and fastening.
A BOM (Bill of Materials) is also formed - a complete list of materials for production or purchase.
Dynamic cost calculation
The system supports CPQ logic (Configure, Price, Quote), which allows you to automatically calculate the cost of the project in real time.
The price is formed based on:
- type of roofing materials;
- roof area;
- number of elements;
- complexity of the design;
- additional components.
The manager or client immediately sees the current cost after any configuration changes.
PDF generation and documentation export
After the project is completed, the system allows you to export PDF documents with a full set of information:
- drawings;
- cutting diagrams;
- material specification;
- technical parameters;
- final cost.
This simplifies data transfer to production, assembly teams, or the customer.
Benefits for roof manufacturers
Using the CAD/CPQ system allows:
- automate the sales and design process;
- reduce the time for preparing commercial proposals;
- minimize errors in calculations;
- increase production accuracy;
- accelerate project approval with clients;
- integrate sales, engineering, and manufacturing into a single system.
Conclusion
CAD/CPQ system for roof production is a modern digital tool for companies operating in the field of roofing materials and building structures. The platform combines parametric design, live 3D visualization, automatic material calculation and CPQ mechanics in one environment, significantly increasing the efficiency of business processes.
The AVADA MEDIA team can implement such a system taking into account the specifics of your production, materials catalog, and internal company processes.
