Hi everyone,

I work in the PVC/uPVC window & door business. Usually, we take measurements on-site and then go back to the office to calculate everything manually.

The problem is… it takes too much time.

I’m looking for a more practical way to:

👉 Draw a PVC window or door
👉 Automatically calculate profiles, glass, and accessories
👉 Instantly get the total cost

Ideally, something that supports:

  • Sliding / single / double opening systems
  • Glass combinations (like 4+16+4 double glazing)
  • Color differences (white vs colored frames)
  • Adding profit margin and generating a quotation

Right now, doing everything manually or in Excel is really inefficient.
It would be amazing to give customers a price directly on-site.

Do you guys use any software, mobile apps, or tools for this?

Would love to hear your workflow or recommendations 🙏

Hey everyone,

I’ve been working on a mobile app designed for professionals in the construction industry — mainly for designing PVC & aluminum windows/doors, calculating costs, and generating instant quotes.

The idea is simple:
👉 Draw the window/door
👉 Get exact measurements (mm precision)
👉 Instantly calculate cost & profit
👉 Generate a professional quote on-site

It’s built to replace manual calculations and speed up the workflow for manufacturers and installers.

But I’m curious from a design & UX perspective 👇

  • What would you improve in this kind of app?
  • What features would make it feel more “premium” or easier to use?
  • Any UI patterns you think would fit better for technical drawing apps on mobile?

I’ll drop some screenshots in the comments.

Really appreciate any feedback 🙌
