A submittal builder on your own website.
Architects and contractors build a branded submittal package from your product documents in a few clicks, on your site, and your sales team gets the project details.
balcousa.com, where the submittal builder runs. The builder itself is behind a login.
Running today at Balco
Balco's builder assembles submittal packages from a library of 7,844 documents across 210 products. Packages build in the background from a saved draft, and every one can be retrieved later instead of rebuilt.

Sound familiar?
- Architects and contractors download your documents one PDF at a time, then assemble the package themselves.
- Your team builds submittal packages by hand whenever a rep or a customer asks.
- Your documents sit on someone else's platform, and you never learn which project they were for.
- People download from your site every day and sales hears about none of it.
What the builder does
It is added to the website you already have, under your brand. Built for WordPress sites; other platforms are scoped in the audit.
- Visitors pick products and documents and get one PDF package with a cover page and bookmarks
- Drafts save automatically, so a package can be finished later
- Large packages assemble in the background instead of timing out
- Every package is stored, versioned, and retrievable
- Project details go to your sales team, by email or into your CRM
- Admin reporting on what was built, for which products
- Generated files are stored privately and served through the site

Common questions
Do we need to replace our website?
No. The builder is added to the site you have. The audit confirms what your current setup can support.
Our documents are a mess. Is that a problem?
It is common, and it is what the audit is for. You get an inventory of what exists, what is missing, and what needs cleanup before a builder can use it.
Where do the project details go?
To your sales team, by email or into your CRM. Balco's builder sends them to Salesforce.
What if we do the audit and decide not to build?
The written review, the document inventory, and the quote are yours to keep.
