Same pipeline. One pass. Every document.
1

Read the model once

Every dyc: attribute, read in one pass.

2

Resolve through the pipeline

Colours, pack rules, overrides, markup — one shared order.

3

Format per template

Each template picks columns and headline, renders to A4 PDF.

In the real plugin · sample data

These are the real documents.

A saved cost summary PDF: a supplier section on the first page and the summary page with totals by supplier
A saved cost summary: one section per supplier, then a summary with tax if you have switched it on.
Template editor showing available attributes and the columns chosen for the document
The template editor: pick the columns, drag to reorder, tick which ones total.
The template engine

Every document is a template.

  • ✓

    Pick the columns

    Any dyc: attribute can be a PDF column.

  • ✓

    Group however you want

    Supplier, category, length — subtotals roll up automatically.

  • ✓

    Set the headline metric

    Cost, weight or linear metres — one number headlines the document.

  • ✓

    Standing charges & payment schedules

    Fixed fees add themselves; the last payment stage takes the balance, so the schedule always adds up to the quote total.

Price Request & Order

Send it to the supplier

Ask for prices first, then order: real itemcodes and pack quantities.

Customer Quote

Send it to the client

Your logo, your markup, a payment schedule, and up to four views of the model captured straight from your SketchUp scenes.

Cost Summary

True cost by supplier and category, for your eyes only.

Itemcode and quantity — the crew's build sheet.

The spreadsheet way
  • Five documents re-typed by hand.
  • Documents silently fall out of sync.
  • Percentages that don't sum to 100%.
  • Errors the client finds first.
The SkuEstimator way
  • Every document is generated, never copied.
  • Change the model — every document rebuilds.
  • Markup applies once, automatically.
  • Payment stages always add up to the total.
