For new build and commercial/contracts specialists, MasterPiece offers the ability to import PDF floor plans and then generate cutting plans with either autoplanner or manual planning. There is a job report which provides the quantities required for quoting to the contractor.

MasterPiece is designed to support both the quoting stage for the project and the replanning that is often required for the delivery phase.

At the quotation stage, there are often several permutations of how rooms are allocated to materials to be addressed. A strength of MasterPiece is its ability to hold multiple allocations, each with its own set of cutting plans, all within the one job. At delivery stage the multiple allocation feature is also highly useful. For instance, with new build the customer may be making their own selections of the material to have in each room; and sometimes sets of plots will be called off in stages for delivery.

MasterPiece offers several autoplanners, for use according to the situation:

• Standard autoplanner which minimises wastage with all pieces on one roll.
• ‘Whole rolls’ autoplanner in which multiple whole rolls of a set length are used efficiently; the facility can also allow part roll lengths that may be available to be used up first.
• An ‘each room by itself’ autoplanner which makes it easy to quote for each room by itself.
• The take-off process is designed with usability in mind. If the user has traced a room and then observes that a wall is in slightly the wrong position, the wall can be dragged, without having to redraw the whole shape.

Overall MasterPiece allows time and effort to be slashed at both quotation stage and in the subsequent delivery phase.
