Adding a Pole Barn Designer or Estimator to Your Website

A 3D building designer lets website visitors choose dimensions and options before contacting your company. If you also want prices and material lists, make sure you're choosing an estimating system rather than a design-only tool.

What visitors can do

Customers can open the 3D designer, select a building size and available options, and submit their contact information with their choices. Your staff can review the submitted project and follow up with a clearer picture of what they want.

Two ways to use GitEstimate on your website

  • 3D Building Designer: Visitors design a building and submit an inquiry. Your team reviews the selections. This plan does not include priced estimates or parts lists.
  • 3D + Parts & Estimating: Adds company-specific pricing and detailed material lists for estimating work. The Builder Pro tier adds 2D construction documents.

What should you plan before adding a designer?

  • Building options: Which dimensions, roofs, doors, and other features should customers be able to choose?
  • Website link: Where will visitors find the designer, and how will it fit into your existing site?
  • Follow-up: Who reviews submitted designs and contacts prospective customers?
  • Pricing: Do you want a design-only inquiry or an estimating workflow using your company's configured prices?

What setup involves

We help with company information, supported building options, and the initial configuration. Estimating plans also require materials and pricing to be set up and checked against sample buildings. Your team should review the workflow before making it available to customers.

How much does it cost?

The 3D Building Designer costs $150/month, or $125/month equivalent with annual prepayment, plus $295 onboarding. The 3D + Parts & Estimating plan is $300/month, or $250/month equivalent with annual prepayment, plus $695 setup. Annual rates require payment for a full year in advance.
