Website for a home builder

Yelnik: a home builder website with a 3D house and a calculator

A website for a company that builds timber-frame houses. You configure the house in 3D, walk through the rooms and see the price right away.

The task

People buying a frame house do not know what it will cost, so they call a manager for a single number. The site should let them configure the house and see the price right away.

What we built

  • A 3D house you can walk through in first person
  • Facade, roof, insulation and finish change the model and the price
  • A cost calculator with a line-by-line estimate and a timeline
  • Four house plans from one layout generator

Why a builder needs 3D on the website

The first question about a house is almost always about money. A typical website answers it with “from” and a call-back form. The buyer leaves a phone number, waits for a manager and then compares three estimates from three companies. On Yelnik the buyer answers the question alone: picks a plan and materials and sees the total right away.

The 3D is not there for show. Change the roof or the facade colour and the difference is visible at once, without photos of other people’s houses. You can walk through the rooms in first person and see whether the kitchen is big enough.

How the calculator works

The price is counted line by line, like a real estimate: foundation, walls, insulation, roof, windows, finish. Every option changes both the model and the total, and the calculator shows the build time. The manager receives a request with a finished configuration, not a call-me-back.

All four plans come from one layout generator, so a new plan needs no 3D artist. What such a configurator costs is on the 3D configurator website page.

What matters for search

  • Pages are rendered on the server, so people and search robots both see the text, prices and specs.
  • Models are compressed and load after the main text, so the first screen opens fast on mobile data.
  • Everything works the same on a phone, controlled with a finger.

The Yelnik brand is made up, the code and features are real: open the site and configure your own house. The same approach suits a construction company and an apartment renovation team: only the parts of the price change.
