Your Spec.
Delivered in
48 Hours.
Upload your architectural floor plan. AFC analyzes every room, specifies the right products, marks up your plan in color, calculates exact quantities, and delivers a branded proposal — ready to win the bid.
Most Flooring Bids Are Slow, Inconsistent, and Hard to Win
The traditional quoting process wastes hours, creates confusion, and costs contractors the bid before it even goes out.
Takeoffs Are Time-Consuming
Manually scaling plans takes hours or days — time you don't have when the bid deadline is tomorrow.
Inconsistent Proposals
Generic spreadsheets make it hard to compare bids or build customer trust. Every proposal looks different.
Customers Don't Know What They're Getting
Vague line items and missing specs leave owners guessing until it's too late to make changes.
Architects Specify the Wrong Products
Architects specify products that may not be the best value for the owner — and no one catches it until the bid is submitted.
AFC solves all of this in one upload.
One upload. One request. A complete professional proposal in 48 hours.
