Drawings are a great selling tool. Show your customer exactly how the building will look, quickly and accurately. There is no guessing where doors, bays or windows are positioned. View drawings froma any 3-D angle or as a standard floor plan. Make specs revisions and instantly see the results on-screen.

Here's how the EDGE system works

You enter the building specifications.
A series of screens lets you easily enter building specifications. Option boxes let you select frame styles, accessories even the proper code and load specs for your location. You can create your own job templates, saving project specifications for future use. The more you use the EDGE, the easier and quicker the process becomes.

The EDGE generates designs and drawings.
After you have entered the project specifications, simply sit back and let the EDGE do what it does best. Within minutes, the EDGE program will design and detail the building. You Get:

frame drawings
floor plans and 3-D drawings
concrete reactions
anchor bolt drawings
and more...

All reports and drawings can be printed out at any size on a variety of printers. The type-scaling tool lets you enlarge type for small printouts, or reduce type if running full-size blueprints.

Instant weight and price summaries.
At the same time the drawings are done, the EDGE calculates steel weights and develops weights, costs, and a price summary. This is a precise steel cost quote which lets you complete your bid on the spot. If you make design changes, the quote is automatically and immediately updated.

Simplified ordering.
The EDGE creates the order form and contract, in complete detail. You just sign and send it in. Then modem the project specs direct from your computer to Behlen, or send us your disk. It's that simple.

The fast track for engineering, manufacturing and delivery.
When the order is received, Behlen engineers review every aspect of your project to assure the delivery of a safe and quality product. Our engineers get back to you quickly with any project updates and approval. At this point, construction and manufacture kick into high gear.

You can start foundation construction using the concrete reactions and anchor bolt drawings your EDGE system has generated. You can be totally ready to put up the steel the day it arrives.

We get the steel out using EDGE shop drawings to speed the manufacturing process. Plus, our in-house trucking division assures quick, reliable delivery.
