Software for stick-built curtain wall

Stick-built work still needs unique cutlists, phase dates, finishing, and a field that can report what went up. Spectr handles that project flow — including field-measure changes — instead of treating the job as a batch of identical parts.

Key facts

  • Stick-built looks like a job shop until the GC re-sequences an elevation.
  • Field dimensions will move your cut list. The record has to move with them.
  • Loose material on a truck still needs contents, even without a pretty crate.
  • Labour on site is a bigger share of the story than in many unitized plants.

How shops handle this

  1. Phase to the install sequence
    Mullion zones, not “aluminum.”
  2. Issue cutlists from the drawing
    Do not let the field become the only BOM.
  3. Track what shipped loose
    A bundle is a container.
  4. Log field changes the same day
    Or the shop will cut last week’s length.

Common questions

We mix stick and unitized.

One ERP, two phase styles. Do not buy two operational systems.

Do we need crate scanning?

You need container scanning. The container might be a bundle.
