You already have a shop.
What you need is a salesperson who never goes home.
Architects Corner puts a configurator in front of specifiers around the clock. It takes their dimensions, resolves the geometry, draws the piece and builds the manufacturing package. You open the portal in the morning to work that is already specified — and you quote the part you are actually good at.
How the work reaches your floor
From a specifier typing a dimension at ten at night to a released job with a locked revision on your bench. Same path, every product.
Your shop sleeps. The counter does not.
An architect revises a washroom at half past eleven on a Tuesday. A contractor measures a threshold on site at six in the morning. Neither of them is going to ring a fabrication shop at that hour — and by the time anyone picks up, the decision is usually made.
So we put the counter online and left it open. The configurator asks the questions you would ask, refuses the dimensions you would refuse, and will not let a piece through that cannot be made. What reaches you is not a lead. It is a specified piece of work with the geometry already resolved.
You are not paying for that, and you are not chasing it. You are deciding whether you want the job.
A full specification package, not a phone call
Every shop knows the real cost of a custom job, and it is not the material. It is the four emails working out whether the drain is measured from the flange or the centre, and the re-cut when it turns out to have been the other one.
We do that part before you see it. The piece arrives drawn, dimensioned and scheduled — plan, section, edge condition, material and finish, the cut list and the DXF. One standard, every job, whatever the product.
The rack in the corner is money
Every shop has it: the offcuts that were too good to skip and too awkward to use. Half a sheet of Glacier White behind the saw. A 47-inch drop of Rain Cloud that has moved three times and been cut into never.
Log them in our inventory system — free, yours, and visible to nobody else — and we specify against them. When a specifier configures a window sill that your drop can yield, the inquiry comes to you with the material already accounted for. You quote labour on a piece of stock you had written off.
It is the cheapest work in the building: no sheet to buy, no lead time to wait on, and a rack that empties instead of filling.
Nothing until the work is real
We are not a directory and we do not sell leads. We make our money in exactly one place, and only once you have a released job in your hands.
No sign-up, no listing fee, no annual membership. Apply, be verified, and start seeing released work.
Looking at a package and deciding against it costs you nothing, and counts against you in no way.
No monthly subscription and nothing to pay for the portal, the inventory system or the specification packages.
A quiet quarter costs you nothing. There is no standing charge to carry through one.
A single fee, agreed with you before you take any job, that covers specification, customer handling and the paperwork. Quoting costs nothing — you only ever pay on work you accepted and were paid for.
That is the whole commercial arrangement. We would rather earn it on a job that ran properly than take a subscription from a shop that never got one.
Five steps, and we read every one of them ourselves
No automated onboarding. A person looks at your shop, and a person tells you either way.
Released work, not loose inquiries
The rules below are enforced in the database, not by a policy document. They are the reason shops are willing to put their pricing into it.
What comes through the network
Solid-surface architectural millwork, made to measure: washroom and healthcare countertops, formed sinks, shower bases, sills, thresholds, wall caps and tables.
What we look for
Solid-surface capability with thermoforming and seamless coving. A CNC you trust to a sixteenth. Finishing that does not need apologising for. And — the one nobody likes talking about — dates you actually hold.
We are not looking for the cheapest shop in the country. We are looking for shops that make a promised date look ordinary.
The questions shops actually ask
Do I have to take the work you send?
No. Every package is a request to price. You bid it, or you pass, and passing costs you nothing and counts against you in no way. Shops have slow weeks and full months, and a network that punishes you for saying no is a network that gets bad dates.
Am I bidding against other shops?
Often, yes — and you will never see who, or what they said. Your pricing is visible to us and to nobody else in the network. That isolation is enforced at the database, so it holds whatever anyone clicks.
Who talks to the customer?
We do. You update production status from the floor and we translate it into what the customer should see. You are not fielding calls about lead times or explaining a revision.
What happens if the drawing is wrong?
It is our drawing, so it is our problem. If a released package does not match what was agreed, we carry it — that is what the coordination fee is paying for.
Does the inventory system cost anything, ever?
No. It is free with the partnership, the stock in it is yours, and no other shop can see it. We use it to specify work toward material you already hold.
How much work should I expect?
That depends on your capability, your region and your dates — and we would rather say so than quote you a number we cannot stand behind. What we will tell you honestly, on the call, is what the network is currently moving in your area.
Tell us about your shop
We review every application ourselves. If it is a fit you will get a portal login, released work with the geometry already resolved, your inventory set up — and no hunting for the detail that was agreed three emails ago.
