Awning & Canopy Builder
Build Your Awning or Canopy Online in 3D
Design custom awnings and architectural canopies in minutes with our interactive 3D Awning & Canopy Builder.
Choose the awning or canopy style, width, projection, height, pitch, fabric color, valance style, frame finish, fascia, soffit or ceiling options, lighting, posts, mounting details, signage, and custom branding, then view the project from multiple angles as the design comes together in real time.
Give Your Customers a Direct Part in the Design
Send your customer a Live Design Link so they can review the proposed awning or canopy directly from their computer, tablet, or phone.
Customers can review the design, select colors, adjust dimensions, upload logos or branding, add comments, and request changes directly through the system. When they are finished, they simply submit their selections and requested revisions back to you.
No more trying to piece together design decisions from emails, texts, photos, and phone calls. Customer comments, revisions, approvals, design changes, and change orders stay connected to the project in one place, giving your sales and production teams a clear record of exactly what was requested and approved.
Built for Awning & Fabrication Shops
Once the design is approved, your team can generate and download production-ready design sheets, shop-plan information, dimensions, multiple elevation views, and material information to help move the project from sales directly into fabrication.
Projects can also connect directly with your CRM, keeping the customer record, design, correspondence, estimate, revisions, approvals, and production information together from the first lead through the completed installation.
For awning and fabrication company owners, the Awning & Canopy Builder creates a much faster path from customer idea → 3D design → approval → fabrication while giving the customer a far better buying experience.
Design it. Share it. Customize it. Approve it. Build it.
