HelixFrame & Siding

Design studio

Build it here before we build it there.

Turn the model, change the siding, the gable, the deck boards, the railing, the beam, or the lumber, and read the spec that goes with it. Every choice carries into the estimate.

  1. 01

    Pick the work

    Six models, one per service. Each one is a single project that stays in the frame while you change it.

  2. 02

    Change one part at a time

    A color control repaints only the part it names. A profile, railing, or roof control rebuilds only that piece.

  3. 03

    Send it as a scope
