Visualize Before You Build

We now offer simple 3D renderings to help you see your metal building project before it’s built. These visuals are a great way to show clients what their building will look like with accurate proportions, layout, and color options.

Whether you’re a contractor, dealer, or homeowner, we can turn your plans into a clean, professional image that brings the design to life.

What You Get:

  • A realistic 3D view of your building

  • Customized with your layout, colors, and surroundings

  • Great for proposals, marketing, or customer previews

If you’re looking to take your project one step further, a 3D rendering is a great place to start.

Reach out for pricing or to see samples.

Examples...and yes, these are Cold-Formed Metal Buildings

Clear Plans Without the Engineering Stamp

Need a basic set of drawings to help visualize or plan your project? We offer non-stamped 2D plans that include simple layouts, elevations, and architectural-style details. These are great for:

  • Customer approvals before moving into full engineering

  • Preliminary planning or permitting (where allowed)

  • Marketing or sales packages

  • Interior layout planning (windows, doors, mezzanines, etc.)

All plans are clean, professional, and tailored to your project — no generic templates.

Want to pair a 2D plan with a 3D rendering? Ask about bundle pricing.
