Estimating Aids
The ability to quickly and confidently quote a job and take it through to manufacturing completion is of paramount importance to the success of a fabricator. There exists in the market a number of software platforms that claim to automate this process well. Lidco has chosen not one but two leading estimating and manufacturing software platforms that do this extremely well.
Lidco's extensive database of window and door systems and fixed commercial framing has been incorporated in the two most powerful and comprehensive estimating and manufacturing software packages available to the Australian fenestration industry- LidcoMaker and V6.

LidcoMaker is based on the world's leading fenestration software platform, WindowMaker. Lidco's entire product range has recently been completely updated to incorporate all current design and manufacturing data.
