Quick answer

What is a 3D roof and facade configurator?

A 3D roof and facade configurator is browser software that lets your customers and installers design a roof or facade from your product range, see it in 3D and get a price straight away. In Wabric, the same configuration also creates the bill of materials and production drawings, so sales and the factory work from one source.

Wabric is CPQ and PIM software built for manufacturers of:

  • Metal roofing
  • Roof panels
  • Solar roofs
  • Sandwich panels
  • Facade cladding

Homeowners and builders use it on your website. Installers order through your partner portal.

Why roof & facade manufacturers choose Wabric

More orders. Less engineering time.

The bottleneck is rarely demand. It's the time it takes to quote, specify and hand the order to production. Wabric takes that work off your engineers' desks.

⚡

Quote in minutes, not days

Customers enter their roof dimensions and get an exact, itemized price and material list straight away. No waiting for engineering. The first supplier with a number usually wins the project. Make sure it's you.

Let installers order without calling you

Your installers shouldn't have to phone or email for every project. Give them a partner portal where they configure the roof, see their own prices and place the order. Your sales team works on new customers, not routine reorders.

✅

Accurate BOM, every time

Working out a roof BOM by hand is slow, and one wrong number means the wrong materials arrive on site. Wabric calculates panel count, trim lengths, fixings and accessories automatically. No spreadsheets.

How Wabric solves it

From roof dimensions to production order — without manual steps

A client enters their measurements. Wabric generates the material list, the price, and the production data. Your factory gets everything it needs without engineering touching it.

01

Quote PDF with exact pricing

Customers enter roof dimensions and panel choice — even irregular shapes like hips, valleys, and dormers. They get itemized pricing and full specs in one quote, ready to order.

From quote to factory floor in minutes

The configurator generates the full bill of materials automatically — panels, ridge and valley trims, flashings, fixings, underlays. Your factory gets exact specs with zero manual handoff.

Customer stories

Three roof & facade manufacturers. Three different problems solved.

AS Toode solar roof configurator
AS TOODE

Staff spending hours on questions customers could answer themselves

AS Toode built a self-service solar roof configurator where customers visualize the roof, place panels, calculate ROI, and submit a structured quote — without involving sales until the decision was made.

Architects couldn't specify the product because the data wasn't there

Wabric built a structured catalog with parametric intelligence for Revit and Archicad. Architects define roof dimensions; the model calculates panel count and layout automatically — getting specified at the planning stage, not at tender.

Designs in CAD, BOMs in Excel, orders by email — nothing connected

Wabric replaced disconnected tools with a browser-based design canvas — from blank canvas to complete BOM in one tool. No CAD software, no Excel, no handoffs. Clients get a share link to track project status themselves.

Common questions

What roof and facade manufacturers ask before implementing Wabric?

What is the best way for a roofing manufacturer to automate quoting?+

Use a roof configurator connected to your own pricing and BOM rules. In Wabric, the customer or installer enters the roof size, picks materials and gets an exact, itemized price and bill of materials straight away. That replaces measuring by hand, waiting for engineering and building the BOM in a spreadsheet. Wabric does the same for doors and windows and metal and glass systems.

Is Wabric roofing estimating software for contractors?+

No. Wabric is software for manufacturers of roofing and facade products. Contractors and installers use it through the manufacturer's configurator or partner portal to price and order products, but the product rules, prices and data belong to the manufacturer.

Does Wabric work for facades, cladding and sandwich panels, not just roofs?+

Yes. Wabric works with any product range you can describe with sizes and rules, including facade cladding, sandwich panels, trims and fixings. Customers enter the sizes, choose panels and colors, and get the price, bill of materials and production drawings from the same configuration.

Can customers see the roof in 3D before they order?+

Yes. Wabric's configurator shows the exact roof or facade in 3D in the browser while the customer builds it, with your real panels, colors and sizes. Customers see what they are ordering before they confirm, which means fewer wrong orders and less rework on site. There is no software to install.

Can the roof configurator handle hips, valleys, dormers and irregular roofs?+

Yes. Wabric handles standard pitched roofs and complex shapes, including hipped roofs, valleys, dormers and irregular outlines. From the roof outline and slope, it works out the panel layout, the number of full and cut panels, and the trims, flashings, fixings and underlays needed, including waste allowance. The result is an itemized bill of materials ready for your factory.

Can our installers order directly without going through our sales team?+

Yes. Wabric's partner portal gives installers and distributors their own login. They configure the project, see their own prices and place the order without contacting your sales team. You decide which products each partner sees, which price level applies and whether orders need approval before production.

How do we set different prices for different installer tiers?+

In Wabric you create your own tiers, for example certified installer, preferred partner and distributor, and assign each partner to one. Partners only see prices at their level. Volume discounts and project prices go on top, all set from the admin dashboard without a developer.

What happens when panel sizes or specs change? Do we rebuild the configurator?+

Yes. Wabric can pull live prices from your ERP and send orders straight back into it, so nobody retypes them. Wallenium and Floorin, for example, run Wabric with Odoo, and Wabric also connects to Salesforce CRM.

Can the configurator create BIM files for architects?+

Yes, if your customers need them. Wabric can export a configuration as a BIM file in IFC format, which architects open in Revit, Archicad and other BIM software. The file matches the exact product the customer configured, which helps you get specified early. Solarstone uses its product data in Revit and Archicad to get on architects' shortlists.
