Geography
Do you serve a particular region of the country? As demonstrated below, we can set up zip code collectors to set parameters according to where a structure will be sent/built. We will need either a list of zip codes or a KML file.
Style
Starting Designs
We use “style” as basic starting points for your building configurations. These will be shown in the menu on the right-hand side of your configurator (example below). What are 4 - 8 “styles” that you would like to represent in your configurator?
Roof Type
What is the roof profile for each style? E.g., gable, lean, gambrel, etc.?
What are the roof pitch options for each style?
Does roof pitch vary according to size?
What type of roofing do you offer for each style? E.g., PBR, asphalt shingles, architectural shingles, etc.?
What roof overhang options do you offer? Are any roof overhangs standard for a certain style?
Porches
What style of porches do you have?
Do your porches apply only to certain building styles? E.g., “do not apply porches to garage styles”
Are there any sides to which porches cannot be added? E.g., “do not add porches to the back of sheds”
Please report any associated logic that is based on your building styles. For example, “length of attachments should never exceed the length of the main building”
Size
Basic Styles
For each style created as your starting design, please give us the available lengths, widths, and heights.
Please report any associated changes that come along with basic size changes. For example, “Buildings over 60 feet wide have a pitch of 3/12”
