Please stand by while our 3D design tool loads…
If our tool doesn’t load within a few seconds, we’re sorry, but your browser does not support it. We can help design your new steel garage, warehouse, airplane hangar, or other custom steel building. All custom 3D Designed steel buildings are reviewed by our design professionals to ensure your steel building kit is properly engineered. Our design tool helps our staff and engineers understand what building is right for you and is available to browsers that can support the use of frames. Please check back on a compatible device, or feel free to contact us for assistance if your devices will not work with our tool. One of our staff will be happy to help you!
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the 3D Building Designer free to use?
Yes. You can design a complete building, set every dimension and option, and see the result in three dimensions at no cost and without commitment. When you are happy with the design you can request a free quote on it, save it, or share it, but nothing requires you to do so.
What can I customize in the 3D designer?
Width, length, and wall height, roof style and pitch, and then doors, windows, roll up garage doors, cupolas, and other features positioned where you want them. You also choose colors for the roof, walls, and trim. Between all the variables there are more than 42 million possible configurations, so the tool is a genuine design environment rather than a picker with a handful of presets.
Can I get a price from the designer?
Yes. Once your design is complete you can request a free quote on that specific configuration, so the price reflects the building you actually drew rather than a generic estimate. If you would rather talk it through, call 800-825-0316 and a consultant can work from your saved design.
Can I save my building design and come back to it?
Yes. Designs can be saved and shared, which is useful when a spouse, business partner, or building committee needs to weigh in before you commit. You can also share a design directly with a Worldwide Steel consultant, so you are both looking at the same building during the conversation.
Do I need design experience to use the tool?
No. The designer is built for people who have never designed a building. You work in plain terms, how wide, how long, how tall, what roof, where the doors go, and the tool handles the engineering implications. If you get stuck or are unsure what a given option means, call 800-825-0316 and a consultant will walk through it with you.
Can I start with an existing design instead of a blank building?
Yes. Templates are available for common building types including barndominiums, garages and workshops, residential buildings, and gambrel style barns. Loading a template gives you a working starting point that you can then resize and modify, which is usually faster than starting from nothing.
