High Level Summary |
|
Description |
The ultimate streamlined implementation, meticulously designed to harness the power of industry best-practices and leverage IdeaRoom’s unparalleled expertise. Fully templatized (customer may not deviate from IdeaRoom standards). |
Key Definitions |
✅ The customer has one pricing region |
✅ The customer’s pricing must be able to adapt to IdeaRoom’s grid-based base pricing, organized into one of our two templates: Pricing base on roof shape (regular, boxed eave, vertical) OR Pricing based on gauge |
|
✅ Styles can include Standard, Triple-Wide, Commercial, Garage, Combo / Utility, RV Cover, Monitor Barn (Step-Down Barn), Straight Roof Barn, Monoslope / Free-standing Lean, and Loafing Shed with Tack Room. Does not include complex packages. |
|
✅ Customer can utilize IdeaRoom standard business logic |
|
✅ Customer would like dealer network support for 10 or less dealers |
|
✅ Customer can be implemented in < 20 hours |
|
✅ Customer receives 6 ongoing implementation credits per quarter |
|
NOT Included - A customer will require an advanced subscription with a potentially higher set up and monthly cost if they require one or more of the following: |
❌ Business logic or rules that are not part of the carport template (for example, vertical roofs are available only on buildings over X feet wide/long) |
❌ Any task or customization that would take longer than 30 minutes to complete, even if that item is listed above. For example, if a client requests adjustments to the sizes for regular carports that would require extensive logic to implement, the client and consultant will work to identify a streamlined approach within the IdeaRoom standard templates that can be completed within 30 minutes. |
|
❌ Any customization around braces, frame gauge, panel gauge, roof pitch, certifications, additional options, services. |
|
❌ Integrations that do not include standard implementations of Zapier, Zip Tax, Shed Suite, RTON DMS, CAL or Hubspot |

Service Areas - IdeaRoom can enforce service areas by requesting a ZIP code or state before the customer can design their building. The following service area options are supported: |
No restrictions. Customers can design a building without providing a ZIP code. |
State boundaries. Customers will be prompted to select their state. |
|
Client-supplied, single-polygon KML map. A KML map, created using Google Maps, sets a boundary around the desired service area. This boundary is not limited to state boundaries. When a KML map is used, customers will be prompted for a ZIP code. An error message will be shown if the ZIP code falls outside the polygon. |

Building Pricing |
1 price region including... |
Grid-based base pricing, organized into one of our two templates: |
|
|
|
|
|
Leg heights |
|
Full side walls |
|
Full end walls |
|
Half (left or right) end walls |
|
Partial walls based on full or half panels (for example, top 1 1/2', top 3', top 4 1/2') |
|
Pricing based on panel price |
|
Gable Pricing |
|
Full |
|
Extended |
|
Full gable price plus panel prices |
|
Full with left or right side |
|
Left or right side = 1/2 end wall price |
|
Attached Lean-To Pricing |
|
Leans are priced as a % of the center section. For example: 0-12 wide = 1/2 the base price of 24' wide building |
|
13-18 wide = full cost of 18' wide building |
|
19-24 = full cost of 24’ wide building |
|
We also support a percentage increase for double trusses. Example: leans >= 14' wide include a 50% of base price upcharge. |
|
Wrap-around Pricing |
|
Left/Right leans are priced at corner-to-corner length. Front/Back leans are priced at width of building. |
|
Free-Standing Lean Tos and Loafing Sheds |
|
We use the same or similar business logic as with attached leans (based on center-section base prices). Alternatively you can provide a separate grid-based price sheet for the freestanding lean to base prices. |
|
Connection Fees |
|
Side-to-Side |
|
End-To-End |
|
Corners |
|
Fixed price per corner based on widths of connected lean-to’s |
|
Storage walls |
|
For storage walls shorter than the starting point for side walls, use a percentage of an existing wall price |
|
5' long or less = 1/4 price of a 20' long wall |
|
6' - 10' long = 1/2 price of a 20' long wall |
|
11' - 15' long = 2/3 price of a 20' long wall |
|
16-20' = full price of 20' long wall |
|
ℹ️ We do not support modifying any of the above lean pricing logic within our standard Carport subscription. |
