We are looking for an experienced developer or to build the first phase of a web-based quoting platform for windows and doors.
This phase is intentionally focused. It does not include AI, blueprint reading or automatic takeoffs.
User experience
A user should be able to:
Log into a secure account.
Create a project.
Enter customer, architect and builder information.
Add products manually.
Enter dimensions and select the product type, configuration, panels, tracks and available options.
Receive an accurate price.
See a supplied product image.
Save, revise and duplicate quotes.
Generate a professional PDF proposal.
Internal staff will use the same platform with additional permissions.
Initial scope
The first release will support one limited product family with several variations.
Pricing is mainly based on:
Square footage
Base rates and multipliers
Product and configuration selections
Track or panel adders
Fixed charges
Size thresholds
Simple conditional rules
Approved quote-level adjustments
We will provide the approved pricing matrix, product rules, images, branding, quote examples and pricing test cases.
The developer must not invent or guess missing prices. The system should be structured so other window and door families can be added later.
Important requirements
The platform must:
Calculate pricing securely on the server.
Block unsupported or invalid configurations.
Identify missing information.
Support pricebook versions and effective dates.
Preserve the pricing used on existing quotes.
Prevent one dealer from viewing another dealer’s information.
Restrict discounts and price changes by permission.
Record important quote changes.
Pass all supplied pricing tests exactly.
Administration
Authorized staff should be able to:
Manage dealer accounts and users.
Publish updated pricing.
Activate or deactivate options.
View dealer-created projects.
Review quote calculations and revisions.
Please recommend whether pricing should be managed through CSV import, protected spreadsheet import or an administration screen.
Deliverables
The finished project must include:
Complete source code
Client-controlled repository and hosting
Dealer and administrator accounts
Jobs, quotes and revisions
Versioned pricing
Professional PDF generation
Automated pricing and permission tests
Deployment, logging and backups
Setup and maintenance documentation

Screenshots, recordings and redacted demonstrations are acceptable. Shortlisted candidates may be asked to demonstrate their work through screen-sharing.
