Barricade Builder
Build Your Barricade Online in 3D
Design custom dining barricades, sidewalk enclosures, and rigid panel systems in minutes with our interactive 3D Barricade Builder.
Choose the overall run length, individual panel sizes, frame style, fabric or rigid panel construction, frame finish, panel color, branding, and other design options, then see the barricade come together in real time before it ever reaches the shop floor.
Give Your Customers a Direct Part in the Design
Send your customer a Live Design Link so they can review the proposed barricade from their computer, tablet, or phone.
Customers can review the layout, choose colors, adjust sizes, upload logos or custom branding, add comments, and request changes directly through the designer. Once they are finished, they simply submit their selections and requested revisions back to you.
No more trying to manage approvals through scattered emails, text messages, photos, and phone calls. Customer comments, revisions, approvals, submitted changes, and change orders stay connected to the project in one place, giving your sales and production teams a clear record of what was requested and approved.
Built for Fabricators
Once the design is finalized, fabricators can generate and download build-ready design information, panel layouts, dimensions, linear-foot calculations, and materials information, helping the shop move quickly from an approved customer design into fabrication.
The Barricade Builder can also connect directly with your CRM, keeping the customer record, design, correspondence, estimate, revisions, approvals, and production information together from the original lead through delivery or installation.
For awning, metal, and fabrication companies, the Barricade Builder creates a faster and more professional way to move from customer concept → 3D design → approval → fabrication, while giving customers a much better way to participate in the design process.
Design it. Share it. Customize it. Approve it. Build it.
