Designer - Precast Structure Design
Configure manholes, catch basins, vaults, and custom structures in minutes — with automated stacking, rebar detailing, drawings, submittals, and BOMs that flow straight into your quote, your schedule, and your plant floor.
The Power of Design Inside Your ERP
Most precast producers design in one tool, estimate in another, and schedule in a third — re-entering the same structure data at every step. CastLogic Designer lives inside the ERP, so a design is also a takeoff, a BOM, and a production-ready work order.
❌ Disconnected Design Tools
- • Structures drawn by hand or in generic CAD, one at a time
- • Rebar schedules detailed manually for every piece
- • Design data re-typed into the estimate, then again into production
- • Company standards enforced by tribal knowledge, not the system
- • Submittal packages assembled by hand for every municipality
- • Separate CAD licenses for everyone who touches a drawing
✅ CastLogic Integrated Designer
- ✓ Parametric configurator builds the structure from your catalog
- ✓ Automated rebar detailing and rebar schedules
- ✓ One data model: design → BOM → quote → sales order → schedule
- ✓ Validation rules enforce your standards and block invalid designs
- ✓ Reusable drawing templates generate submittal packages automatically
- ✓ No separate CAD license required
Complete Structure Design Suite
From the first rim elevation to the final submittal sheet, Designer handles the drawing work your engineers do by hand today.
Parametric Structure Configurator
Configure manholes, catch basins, inlets, vaults, septic tanks, box culverts, and pull boxes from structure codes. Enter rim and invert elevations and the system computes overall depth, stack composition, and grade-ring requirements automatically.
Automated Stacking Logic
Auto-builds the structure stack from your product catalog — monobase or standard base — filtering out incompatible components (crane limits, disabled items) and proposing valid alternatives instead of letting errors through.
Automated Rebar Detailing
Rebar logic is built in: reinforcement detailing and rebar schedules generate with the design — including flat tops and bases — eliminating hours of manual detailing per structure.
Drawing Template Designer
Build your own drawing templates — plan views, dimensions, callouts, weights tables, materials boxes, logos — and group them into multi-sheet packages: submittal, rebar schedule, and hardware schedule. Assign templates per project to enforce standards automatically.
Submittal Packages in One Click
Generate complete, professional submittal packages straight from the design. Clone templates to handle municipal spec variants — Caltrans, county, or city standards — without rebuilding from scratch.
Standards-Enforcing Validation
Company-level rules distinguish warnings from blocking errors: wall thicknesses, channel depths, bench and sump rules, grade-ring min/max, joint conventions. Invalid structures can't be finalized — your standards are in the software, not a binder.
Automatic Bill of Materials
Every design produces its BOM — concrete, steel, lifting hardware, connectors, boots, and seals tied to manufacturer part numbers so hole sizes and components populate themselves. The BOM prices the quote and drives purchasing.
Metric & Imperial, US & Canada
Dual-unit support with project-level metric override, US industry-standard pipe libraries, and regional compliance handling for both US and Canadian producers.
Centralized Product Maintenance
Product, structure, and pipe catalogs are maintained in one place — a single source of truth the Designer reads from. Add one-off custom parts on a single structure or promote them to the shared component library.
⚡ Built for Speed
Keyboard-first field traversal, auto-save with undo, four-sided structure views, and drag-adjustable dimensions. Design a structure in the time it used to take to open the CAD file.
🖨️ Clean Output
Print-ready PDF export for drawings and submittals, with per-face dimension controls and customizable joint rendering to match how your shop reads drawings.
📦 Legacy Data Comes With You
Structure IDs, pipe catalogs, and product data import directly from legacy systems like Titan 3000 — audited for mapping fidelity, re-importable as you refine.
Design → Quote → Production. One Thread.
Because Designer is a CastLogic module — not a separate app — the structure you configure is the same record your estimator prices, your sales team converts, and your production scheduler releases to the floor.
1. Design
Configure the structure; validation enforces your standards
2. Estimate
BOM prices the quote with component-level cost breakdowns
3. Convert
Quote lines convert to sales orders — selectively, per item
4. Produce
Release to production with drawings, rebar schedules, and pick tickets attached
