Every builder’s heard it. A customer asks for a Class 1a, in-line girts, a wrap-around veranda, or a proper fully-bolted system — and the answer from most shed programs is “we don’t do that.”
That’s not a product limitation. It’s a software one. HiTen’s CFBS engineering platform was built from the ground up to quote, design and approve the jobs your current program simply can’t touch — so the customer stays with you, instead of walking down the road.
Design and quote fully-compliant Class 1a builds in our platform — no outsourcing the engineering, no waiting on a third party.
Give customers the look they’re after, engineered and priced without leaving the CFBS system.
Proper mezzanine and sub-floor design built into the same workflow as the shed above it — one job, one program.
Rigid, precision-welded RHS framing for jobs that call for a stiffer, cleaner structural solution.
Step up to long-span, heavy-duty structures when the job calls for it — same platform, no re-quoting elsewhere.
Engineered connections built for speed on site and confidence on the certificate.
CFBS is the engineering and quoting platform behind every HiTen dealer. It’s under constant development — here’s what’s live today.
One click resizes failing purlins, girts, columns and rafters — an intelligent starting point that gets you to an engineered solution in minutes, not hours.
Every customer gets their own interactive portal — full 3D model, documents, quotes, emails and project updates in one place.
Generate photorealistic images of a customer’s shed straight from the quote screen, so they can see it before they buy.
WindCheck and compliance built into your workflow — engineering that holds up with council, every time.
Every design shareable as a rotatable, walk-through 3D model — for your customer, and for the crew putting it up.
Transact directly with participating suppliers using group rates through the platform — no forced single-source supply.

When suppliers manage price files and delivery routes live in CFBS, both sides are working from the same numbers at the same time. No stale quotes, no guessing on freight, no awkward conversations about who had the wrong figure. That transparency is what turns a supplier into a genuine partner — not just a line on a purchase order.
Suppliers update their pricing directly in CFBS, so you’re never caught quoting an outdated number — and never have that conversation with a customer.
Delivery zones and freight costs are managed by region in real time, so what you quote is what actually lands — building trust with every order.
Suppliers see demand building across the network as it happens, so they can plan stock around you — fewer delays, fewer excuses, a better working relationship.
HiTen distributors are independent, non-franchise businesses. HiTen doesn’t require exclusivity from dealers or suppliers — you transact directly with participating suppliers at group rates, on your own terms, through the CFBS platform.
Every CFBS design becomes an interactive 3D model your customer can explore before a single sheet of steel is cut — rotate it, walk through it, see exactly what they’re buying.
Click on any component to see how it goes together, down to individual fixings.
On site, installers pull up the same model on their phone and build straight from it — no flicking between paper plans, no guesswork.
