3D shed configurator
Sheds, garages, carports and patios in 3D with sizes, doors, windows and colours, right on your website.
Shed builder software: 3D configurators & quoting
Shed builders: let them build it in 3D before you build it for real. Size, colour and price in one go.
Customers ring for a rough price on a 9 x 6, change the doors three times and then go quiet. Meanwhile someone's pricing every option by hand, chasing the certifier and retyping kit orders into the supplier's system. We build 3D shed configurators, quoting, approvals and build scheduling for shed builders. Then we host them and look after them.
Looking for a 3D shed configurator and quoting system for your website?
A shed is a big purchase that people genuinely enjoy designing. They want to see it in Monument with Surfmist trim, try a second roller door, tack on a skillion and know what it costs before they ever ring you. A brochure and a price list can't do that. So you spend your evenings re-quoting the same shed five different ways while the real work waits.
Wollopit builds custom software for shed builders around how you actually sell and build. Customers design their shed in 3D on your website with live pricing from your own rates. The finished design lands as a fully specified lead with the right wind settings for their address. Once it's accepted, the approval pack, kit order and build schedule all come from that same design. We connect to the tools you already use like Xero and ServiceM8. Then we host the lot and look after it.
01The problems
What we hear from shed builders
Does your shed business have these problems? Here's how we'd fix them.
Most shed builders we talk to are flat out building and drowning in quotes that never turn into jobs. The selling and the paperwork are where the hours go.
- The problemCustomers can't picture itBrochures, flat drawings and a colour chart don't show what their shed will actually look like on their block.How we fix itA 3D configurator that shows their shed in their colours from every angle, on any phone or laptop.
- The problemEvery quote is priced by handSpan, bays, eave height, doors, windows, insulation and whirlybirds all worked out on a spreadsheet one job at a time.How we fix itLive pricing from your own rates and margins as customers change size and options.
- The problemFive revisions by emailAnother 300mm on the eave, a PA door on the other side, now in Woodland Grey. Every change means a fresh quote.How we fix itCustomers make the changes themselves, so the design that lands in your inbox is the one they actually want.
- The problemWind rating guessworkWind region, terrain category and importance level get checked by hand or missed until the engineer sends it back.How we fix itWind region looked up from the site address, with terrain and shielding confirmed by your team before the price is locked in.
- The problemCouncil and certifier paperworkSite plans, elevations, engineering certificates and approval forms are pulled together by hand for every single job.How we fix itAn approval pack generated from the design, ready for the certifier or council with nothing retyped.
- The problemKit orders retypedAccepted quotes get re-entered line by line into the supplier's system. One wrong purlin length holds up the whole build.How we fix itA bill of materials built straight from the accepted design, ready to send to your supplier or fabricator.
- The problemSlab, delivery and erection out of syncThe kit turns up before the slab's poured and the erectors are booked for a week the concreter can't make.How we fix itA build schedule that lines up slab, cure time, kit delivery and erection, with SMS to each crew.
- The problemLeads go coldSomeone designs a shed on Sunday night, gets a quote and never hears from you again.How we fix itFollow-ups that send themselves, plus a pipeline showing every quote and exactly where it's up to.
- The problemChasing deposits and progress paymentsDeposit, kit payment and final payment tracked on a whiteboard and invoiced manually.How we fix itPayment stages tied to the build, with invoices raised in Xero or MYOB and paid online by card.
- The problem"Where's my shed up to?" callsCustomers ring every week asking about approval, delivery and when the crew's turning up.How we fix itA customer portal showing approval status, delivery date and build day, with SMS updates at every stage.
- The problemDealers quoting off old price listsAgents and regional dealers quote from last year's PDF and your margin wears the difference.How we fix itDealer logins on the same configurator with their own pricing, so every quote uses today's rates.

03The systems
The big ones
Your whole shed business, from first click to final bolt.
These are the systems shed builders ask us about most. Each one works on its own and they get properly clever when they share the same design.
3D configurator
They design it. You get a final, priced lead.
Customers pick a size, add roller doors, windows and a skillion, then choose their colours and see it in 3D from every angle. The price updates as they go. When they're happy it lands with you as a fully specified lead instead of a vague phone call.
- Sheds, garages, carports and patios
- Span, length, eave height and pitch
- Roller doors, PA doors and windows placed where they want
- Your colour range on roof, walls and trim
- Skillions, awnings and mezzanines
- Insulation, whirlybirds and skylights
- Live price as they design
- Works on phones and tablets
- Save, share and come back later
- Only offers what you actually sell
Quoting & engineering
Every option priced. Every design checked.
Your rates, margins and pricing rules sit behind every quote, so the number is right whether it comes from the website, the office or a dealer. Wind region and site settings are applied before the price is locked in.
- Pricing rules built from your rates
- Margins and minimums by product
- Wind region from the site address
- Terrain and shielding confirmed by staff
- Footing and slab options
- Delivery and site access charges
- Branded PDF quotes
- Quote versions without starting again
- Online acceptance and deposit
- Quote expiry and price rise handling
Approvals & kit orders
From signed quote to kit order without retyping.
The accepted design becomes the approval pack and the bill of materials. Plans and engineering details go to the certifier while the kit list goes to your supplier, both from the same numbers.
- Site plans and elevations
- Engineering details attached
- Approval status tracked per job
- Certifier and council notes in one place
- Bill of materials from the design
- Frames, sheeting, flashings and fixings
- Cut lengths and quantities
- Orders sent to your supplier
- Order confirmations matched to jobs
- Variations update the kit list
Build scheduling
Slab, kit and crew in the right order.
One calendar that knows a slab needs to cure before the kit arrives and the erectors shouldn't turn up before the kit does. Crews get their jobs on their phones and customers get a heads up before anyone arrives.
- Slab, delivery and erection stages
- Cure time built into the schedule
- Concreters, erectors and electricians
- Crew jobs on their phones
- Plans and site notes on site
- Weather delays reshuffle the week
- SMS reminders to customers
- Site measure checklists
- Handover photos saved to the job
- Google Calendar sync
Customer & dealer portals
Fewer phone calls. More sheds sold.
Customers check their own job instead of ringing the office. Dealers quote from the same configurator at their own pricing, so every lead comes in clean and on today's rates.
- Customer job status in one link
- Approval, delivery and build dates
- Payment stages and online payments
- SMS updates at each stage
- Dealer logins and pricing
- Dealer leads and quotes tracked
- Commission tracking
- Invoices synced to Xero or MYOB
- Google review request at handover

07How we work
The process
Some people dip their toe in. We turn up in a rebreather.
We get properly below the surface of your shed business: the systems, the busy days and the jobs everyone hates. Then we fix the bits that matter most first.
- 01
Think
We sit with your sales team, ride along to a site measure and walk through how a shed goes from enquiry to handover, then find what's slowing you down.
- 02
Archi-tech
We plan it before writing code: your product range, pricing rules, wind settings, approvals, suppliers, crews, hosting and cost.
- 03
Build
Real engineering, shown to you early and often. Usually the configurator or quoting first, so you see a win before the next busy season.
- 04
Look after
We host it, maintain it and update it when your prices or products change. When something breaks you ring the people who built it.
08Questions
FAQ
Things shed builders ask us.
Something else on your mind? Ring 0423 011 252 and ask the people who'd build it.
Can the configurator use our own colours and products?
Yes. Your product range, colours, sizes and pricing rules are built in, so the configurator only offers what you actually sell.
Does it handle wind ratings?
Yes. The wind region can be looked up from the site address and applied to the design and the price. Things that need judgement like terrain and shielding get confirmed by your team before the quote is final.
Can it do garages, carports and patios too?
Yes. If you sell it, we can build it into the configurator with its own options and pricing rules.
Can it produce our approval documents and kit orders?
Yes. Once a design is accepted it can generate the plans and details your certifier needs and a bill of materials for your supplier, all from the same design.
Can our dealers use it?
Yes. Dealers and agents can have their own logins and pricing, with their leads and quotes tracked so you can see what's selling.
We already use ServiceM8 or simPRO. Do we have to switch?
No. If your job management or accounting software is doing its job, we build around it and pass jobs, customers and invoices across. If something's holding you back, we'll show you what replacing it would involve before anything changes.
How much does a shed configurator cost?
It depends on your product range and what you want joined up, so we quote up front once we understand it. No surprise invoices, no lock-in and you own what we build.
How long does it take?
We plan it in stages so you get the first win early. That's often the configurator or quoting, with approvals, ordering and scheduling following on.
Who looks after it once it's built?
We do. We host it on our own managed servers and keep it updated and secure. When your prices change or you add a new product, you ring the people who built it.
We already have systems. Can you upgrade them instead of starting again?
Usually, yes. Most shed builders we work with keep what's working and upgrade the rest in stages. We move your data across, connect the old and new while we switch and retire the old system only when the new one is proven.
