3D Framing Models

Visual Clarity for Contractors & Homeowners

Our 3D framing models provide a detailed visual representation of how your structure is built from the ground up. These models help contractors, builders, and homeowners clearly understand load-bearing walls, roof systems, framing layouts, beam placement, and structural connections before construction begins.

By seeing the entire framing system in 3D, you can eliminate guesswork, reduce costly mistakes, and improve communication on-site. Contractors benefit from accurate material takeoffs, clearer construction sequencing, and easier coordination with subs. Homeowners gain confidence in knowing exactly how their home or addition is being built and can better visualize design choices and structural decisions.

3D framing models streamline the building process, improve accuracy, and ensure your project aligns with modern construction practices and Louisiana building standards.
