Configurator for frame-modular structures

Designing modular wood and metal frame structures requires a balance between functionality, safety, and aesthetics. Each element directly affects the strength, durability, and cost of the finished object. An error at the calculation stage can lead to overspending on materials, geometry inconsistencies, or increased project costs.

It is often difficult for customers to imagine what the finished product will look like, and for manufacturers to quickly make changes and calculate the estimate. The online configurator solves these problems: it combines visualization, design and automatic calculation in one interface. With such a tool, the user can visualize the project with accurate parameters, calculate the cost, speed up the work and minimize risks.

Our team develops online configurators of gazebos, canopies, terraces and other wooden and metal structures taking into account the specifics of the business, integration with CRM systems, material databases and other services. If you want to reduce the time for approval, reduce the risk of errors and improve interaction between the customer and the manufacturer, we recommend ordering a configurator for modular and frame structures.

Сonfigurator of metal structures and wooden structures - what is it?

Online configurators for frame and modular structures are modern digital tools that allow customers to independently design and visualize future buildings in real time. They allow you to choose the size, shape, materials, and equipment of the object and instantly see the result. Configurators simplify the customer's choice, and for businesses they become an effective mechanism for increasing engagement, reducing approval time, and increasing conversion.

The 2D configurator of metal structures and frame structures helps to quickly create flat schemes and plans, ensuring accuracy and structured data. The 3D configurator allows you to visually experiment with the volume, shape and details of the structure, rotating the model and instantly changing parameters. Both solutions bring design to a new level of interactivity and convenience, allowing the client to become the designer of their own order, and the business to shorten the approval cycle and receive more accurate requests.

The web 3D technology used by our team to develop online configurators is equally effective for private orders - gazebos, terraces, garages, winter gardens, summer kitchens, pergolas, children's and sports grounds, carports, as well as for commercial and industrial facilities: warehouse hangars, pavilions, trade kiosks, temporary exhibition stands, frame workshops, equipment sheds, stage structures and street simulators.
