Priced from your matrix
Your rates, your bands, your surcharges — applied the moment a customer asks, including at ten o'clock at night.
For sheet metal fabricators
From rough sketch to production-ready order.
Your customer sketches the profile. FlashFab turns it into a dimensioned, priced drawing for them to check and approve. You receive exactly what they signed off, ready to make.
Twenty minutes, with your own rate card loaded.
- Free for your contractors, forever
- Your prices are never shown to anyone else
- Orders only ever come to you
The difference
Enquiries cost you time. Orders don't.
An estimator spends about fifteen minutes on every flashing enquiry, whether the job lands or not. FlashFab does that part.
Approved before it reaches you
The customer signs off a dimensioned drawing with the coated face marked. Nothing to clarify, nothing to chase.
Inside your limits
Maximum girth, minimum leg and maximum folds load as rules. A profile you can't make is blocked before it's ordered.
Ready for the shop
Each order arrives as a fabrication-ready PDF, dimensioned the way your drawings are. Accept it, or query the price.
How it works
From site sketch to production-ready order in four simple steps.
-
1
Sketch it
Your customer sketches the flashing by hand and takes a photo on their phone — or draws the profile directly in FlashFab.
-
2
FlashFab digitises it
The sketch is converted into a clean digital profile with dimensions, angles, colour side, welts and returns. The customer checks and adjusts anything if needed.
-
3
Price it. Check it. Approve it.
FlashFab applies your pricing and manufacturing rules. Your customer sees the finished dimensioned drawing and price, then approves exactly what they want made.
-
4
Ready for production
You receive a clear, priced and approved order with the final drawing attached — exactly as the customer signed it off, ready for your team to process.
The real cost
How much is order admin costing you?
Every sketch, email, phone call and drawing revision takes time before an order reaches production.

Questions
What fabricators ask us.
Do I have to change how I make things?
No. FlashFab records what the customer wants and hands you a dimensioned PDF. Your machines, your tolerances, your sequence. Nothing downstream of the drawing changes.
What does it cost my contractors?
Nothing, ever. They are your customers — charging them would put a toll on your own order book. You pay a small processing fee on each order.
Can it use my drawing style?
Yes. Dimension placement, annotation and the coated-face convention are set up with you during onboarding, so customers approve drawings that look like yours.
What if a contractor orders something I can't make?
They can't. Your maximum girth, minimum leg and maximum folds are loaded as rules, and an impossible profile is blocked at the moment they draw it.
Who owns the customer relationship?
You do. Every contractor is introduced by you and attributed to you, and their orders reach you and nobody else.
