Enhancing Client’s Experience With Our Innovative 3D Estimator Tool

Our metal building designing tool can customize each product. Let’s delve into this with some examples for a better understanding.

3D Garage Builder

On the right side, you can see a range of options to choose from. These options include roof style, installation surface, width, length, leg height, sides and end walls, types of panels, number of doors and their types, frame, windows, and colors.

Once you are done designing, you can request a quote. All this gives our customer a real-time view of their garage building.

3D Carport Builder

For clients on a budget, steel carports are one of the simplest, quickest, and most affordable solutions for parking vehicles. Not only that, we also have the option of a utility building, which is a combination of a carport and a shed. In this way, you get parking and storage space.

You can add left/right sidewall panels from 1 ft. to 9 ft., and front/back gables from open, half enclosed to fully enclosed.

3D Barn Builder

Traditional barns have been the essence of American farms. With our 3D estimator tools, you can create custom metal barns for livestock shelters, hay sheds, and farm tools & machinery. You can opt for different colors on the roof, trim, door, and wainscot.

From size to walls, everything is customizable. This makes it easy for customers to plan and play with designing tools until they reach the final design concept. From here, you can either request a quote or save your design for future use.
