Lillo & Gajardo
a construction company that quotes its own materials
From answering every enquiry by hand to a quote flow that draws the floor plan and estimates panels, studs and fasteners
Client in the Maule Region, Chile · Homes, extensions and SIP panels
Selling construction materials without forcing a phone call
Construcciones Lillo & Gajardo builds homes and projects in the Maule Region and also manufactures SIP panels. Two sides of the business competed for the same conversation, and every quote was assembled by hand.
Quoting was manual work
Every enquiry meant calculating panels, studs and fasteners one by one. A mistake in that maths is expensive in materials and in the build schedule.
The customer has no idea how much they need
Someone planning a home cannot be expected to know how many panels it takes. Asking that before giving a price stops the sale at the first message.
Materials with no visible stock
Without a catalog showing real availability, every sale depended on a call to confirm whether the stock existed and at what price.
A site that quotes, not just informs
Most construction websites show photos and a contact form. We built one that does the boring part: check stock, calculate materials and deliver an organised quote.
- Materials catalog with live stock, net prices and a spec sheet per product.
- Four-step quote flow: materials, project details, floor-plan sketch and submission.
- On-screen sketch that estimates panels, studs and fasteners from the area drawn.
- Live summary with area, perimeter and estimated total while the request is built.
- Project gallery with a page per project and its status (finished or in progress).
- Coverage and delivery by district, so customers know right away if you reach their site.
- Custom admin panel to update stock, prices and projects without a developer.
- Privacy by default: only necessary cookies, no advertising trackers.
- ASP.NET Core MVC on .NET 10
- SQL Server with Entity Framework Core
- Interactive sketch drawn in the browser, material calculation on the server
- Catalog backed by real stock and inventory control
- HTTPS with certificate, HSTS and security headers
- Own server with monitoring and backups
The material calculation does not run in the customer's browser: it is resolved on the server, so the quantity rules are updated in a single place.
The quote flow, step by step
Four simple screens that replace a multi-day conversation with a form that explains itself.
Materials
The customer adds panels, OSB boards or fasteners from the catalog. They can also continue with no materials at all if they only want a build quote.
Project details
District, project type and contact data, so the quote arrives with delivery already taken into account.
Sketch
Draw the floor plan on screen. The system estimates panels, studs and fasteners, and shows area and perimeter instantly.
Review and send
A live summary with the estimated total and delivery. It is submitted and the team receives everything in order, with nothing to retype.
What changed for the company
Quotes at any hour
The site takes requests when the office is closed.
Consistent calculation
The quantity take-off comes from the system, not a side spreadsheet.
Stock in plain sight
The catalog shows real availability, not "ask us".
A base for local SEO
Every product and every project has its own indexable page.
