Platform Overview
27 Modules. One Ecosystem.
NovaRise is a purpose-built software platform for the PEMB and steel building industry. Every module exists because someone who spent a career in the industry decided the problem was worth four years of founder-led development with AI-assisted architecture, coding, and validation workflows to solve.
Industry-Native
Every module was designed by someone who held PEMB quotes, coordinated engineers, and managed erection crews. No feature was invented from a product roadmap — it was pulled from a real pain point.
Validation-Backed
The structural design engines are guided by real project records, engineering references, and structured validation evidence. That's what makes preliminary design credible.
Ecosystem-First
Each module feeds the next. Foundation outputs flow into material takeoffs. Design outputs flow into field erection. Field data flows into inspection records. Nothing is a silo.

Full Module List
All 27 Modules by Category
Every module listed below is in the platform roadmap. Live modules are in active founder testing. Planned modules are in design or development.
CRM & Operations
Manage clients, projects, and team access from a single multi-tenant platform built for how steel building contractors actually work.
NovaRise Command
LiveFull contractor CRM — live in founder testing
PEMB-Specific CRM
PlannedTailored pipelines for PEMB sales cycles
Client Portal
PlannedClient-facing project status and document access
Document Storage
PlannedCentralized storage for drawings, specs, and contracts
Inspection Checklists
PlannedPhase-based field inspection records
Structural Designers
Preliminary structural design tools guided by real project records, engineering references, and structured validation evidence. These are engineering starting points, not PE-stamped outputs.
Foundation Designer

I-Beam PEMB Designer
PlannedPrimary frame sizing and load path analysis
Cold-Formed Steel Designer
PlannedPurlin, girt, and panel selection engine
Mini Storage Designer
PlannedUnit layout, partition walls, and structural sizing
Connection Design Module
PlannedBolted and welded connection checks
Load Calculation Engine
PlannedASCE 7 wind, snow, seismic, and live loads
Field & Erection
Tools that follow the crew to the job site — phased erection sequencing, safety callouts, and Nova AI assistance when something doesn't match the blueprints.
Erection Guide
Coming SoonPhase-by-phase blueprint-aware erection app
Site Survey Tools
PlannedAnchor bolt layout, grade verification, and site notes
Phase Inspection App
PlannedCrew sign-off at each erection phase
Finance & Accounting
From proposal to payment, track every dollar tied to every project without leaving the platform.
Invoicing & Payments
LiveBuilt into NovaRise Command
Job Costing
PlannedBudget vs. actual by project and phase
Accounting Module
PlannedFull double-entry ledger for contractor financials
Material Takeoff Engine
PlannedAutomated BOMs from structural design outputs
AI & Automation
Nova AI is embedded across the platform — not bolted on. It assists with client communication, design guidance, field questions, and report generation.
Nova AI Assistant
LiveActive in Command and Foundation Designer
Quote Generator
PlannedAI-assisted proposal drafting from project inputs
Report Generator
PlannedBranded project reports from design and field data
eSign & Compliance
Legally binding signatures and an immutable audit trail so nothing gets lost, disputed, or silently changed.
eSign
LiveProposal and change-order signing — live in Command
Append-Only Audit Trail
LiveEvery action logged, nothing deletable — live in Command
Design Tools
Component-level design utilities that feed upstream into structural designers and material takeoffs.
Roof Panel Designer
PlannedPanel selection, lap, and trim callouts
Wall Panel Designer
PlannedPanel orientation, openings, and girt spacing
Anchor Bolt Calculator
PlannedDiameter, projection, and pattern from foundation outputs
Concrete Estimator
PlannedYardage and mix spec from foundation design
