AI can now generate a home design in seconds. The Gage API is what makes it real: instant committed pricing, engineering, and fabrication for cold-formed steel framing, routed through a network of fabricators. Geometry in. Priced, buildable steel out.
Design is becoming a commodity. Anyone can generate a floor plan, a 3D model, or a photorealistic home in seconds. What they cannot generate is the building.
Between every design and every finished structure sits the hard part: takeoffs, engineering, pricing, fabrication, delivery. Today that takes weeks of phone calls and PDFs. Gage compresses it to an API call.
We call it the compile step. Software developers compile code into working programs. Gage compiles designs into steel framing systems: priced in seconds, held at a committed number, fabricated by the nearest shop in our network, and delivered as labeled, ready-to-assemble components.
If you are building anything that creates, displays, or transacts on building designs, Gage is the layer that makes your output buildable.

}Parametric quotes are live for early access partners. Geometry ingestion (glTF, IFC, layered SVG) is in active development.
Six categories of products the Gage API unlocks. Some of our partners are building these right now.
Give your generated designs a price tag and a path to construction.
Put committed framing pricing inside the tools professionals already use.
From phone LiDAR to priced structure.
Every plan catalog becomes a storefront.
Real framing costs, upstream of construction.
Built for the way procurement is about to work.
Every quote returns a number that holds, with a defined reconciliation band backed by real fabrication data. Lumber cannot do this. Neither can a phone call.
Quotes route to fabricators by location, capacity, and lead time. Your users get the nearest available shop and one accountable party from quote to delivery.
Behind every accepted quote: panel engineering and machine-ready fabrication files. The API does not stop at a price. It ends in steel on a truck.
Design tools and platforms that originate orders through the Gage API participate in the transaction. Your product stops being a cost center the moment your users start building what they design. Partner economics are part of early access conversations.
We are onboarding a small group of early access partners while the network grows. If you are building in any of the categories above, or one we have not thought of, we want to talk.
