What’s the easiest way to calculate PVC window cost after drawing?

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 🙏
