1111 Studios

Turn drawings into quotes, without the office work.

1111 Studios takes the takeoffs, estimating, quoting, and production paperwork off your plate, for the shops that fabricate and finish architectural metal. No CAD, no busywork, and you approve every number.

No CAD. No training. No IT department. If you can send an email, you can run it.

What every platform shares

It takes the busywork. You keep the judgment.

Whatever your shop does, the same idea runs underneath it: the software handles the tedious part, and hands you back the one job only you can do, making sure it's right.

It learns your shop

Every job you approve teaches it your parts, your prices, and your standards. The more you run, the sharper it gets. It never stops learning, and it never forgets.

You stay in control

Nothing leaves the building without your sign-off. There's a human gate at every step. The software does the grunt work, you make the calls, always.

You just check the work

It reads the drawings, runs the numbers, and builds the paperwork. Your job shrinks to the part that matters: looking it over and confirming it's accurate.

How it works

Four steps. The software does three of them.

However the job walks in the door, we meet it there. No file conversions, no special format, no learning curve.

  1. Send it the job

    A sketch, a PDF, an email, a field measurement, even a photo of a hand drawing. However it comes in.

  2. It reads and prices it

    Parts, counts, dimensions, and a quote your customer can e-sign, in minutes instead of days.

  3. You check and approve

    Look it over, fix anything, sign off. You are always the last word before it goes out.

  4. It builds the rest

    Production paperwork, paint tickets, the invoice, and the hand-off to your CRM. Sent to the floor.

Drawing in. Quote and paperwork out.

Here's what happens when an architectural metal job hits the system, the same work your shop runs every week. You stay in control at the end.

Illustrative walkthrough of the flow. At a demo we run it on one of your own jobs and show you the real numbers.

The platforms

Two shops. One system. Pick your door.

Most fab shops don't paint. Most paint shops don't fab. So the work splits into two platforms that stand on their own, or click together into one line from raw metal to finished and out the door.

Run both for one line from raw metal to finished and shipped, or take just the platform your shop actually needs.

Who it's for

The shop, not the software company.

Built with real shops, for the people who would rather be on the floor than stuck in front of a computer. If you have been quoting off a spreadsheet and re-typing everything three times, this is for you.

  • Fabricators doing architectural metal, panels, trim, and cladding
  • Paint and finishing shops that live and die by throughput
  • Small-to-mid crews without a CAD department or an IT guy
  • Owners who want control, not another program to babysit

"It does the part I hate, and leaves me the part I'm good at."

You have spent years learning how to price and build these jobs right. This doesn't replace that. It clears the busywork out of the way so your experience is what the whole thing runs on.

From the founder

Built by someone who lived it.

I spent years in glazing and metal, watching good shops bleed hours into takeoffs, estimating, and paperwork nobody wants to do. So I built 1111 Studios to hand that grunt work to software and give your people their day back. The software does the busywork. You still approve every number that goes out the door.

Bryan, founder

VFS and VPS are where we start.

There is more being built for the people who glaze, clad, and build. We are not ready to show it yet. Keep an eye on this space.

Questions shops ask

The short answers.

Do I need CAD or special software?

No. Send a PDF, a sketch, an email, or a photo of a hand drawing. If you can send an email, you can run it.

Is my data mine?

Yes. Your parts, prices, and standards are yours. Nothing gets shared with other shops.

Does it replace my estimator?

No. It does the busywork and hands the judgment back to your people. You sign off on everything.

Will it work the way I already price?

Yes. It learns your parts, prices, and standards, and gets sharper every job.

What does it cost?

Depends on your shop and the modules you run. Book a demo and we will put real numbers to your work.

Fab, paint, or both?

Run VFS for fabrication, VPS for finishing, or both together. Take only what your shop needs.
