Explain pergola upgrades with 3D and itemised quotes
Help buyers compare compatible pergola glass, screens, lighting and controls with visual configuration and clear pricing in Configurix.
Table of contents
An upgrade is easier to evaluate when the buyer can see how it changes the pergola, what it costs and whether it fits the selected product. A useful consultation connects those three questions rather than presenting a long accessory list.
Start with the buyer's intended use
Ask how the space will be used and which problems matter: privacy, access, evening use, shade or enclosure. Show the options relevant to that brief. An accessory that increases the quote without meeting a need can create confusion rather than value.
Keep site constraints separate from product compatibility. A permitted heater or motor package may still require an electrical review or additional installation work.
Show one meaningful change at a time
Use the 3D view to compare the baseline product with a compatible upgrade. Explain the changed glass layout, screen position, lighting arrangement or roof control before moving to the next choice.
Configurix can represent product choices using the manufacturer's catalog rules. Those rules should control available dimensions, accessory combinations and the selected finish rather than allowing options your team cannot supply together.
Make the price difference understandable
Show the upgraded configuration and the corresponding price change. Clarify whether the figure includes delivery, installation, electrical work and tax. A branded itemised quote should describe the option the buyer actually saw.
For glass and ZIP screens, check openings, usable access and the compatibility of each side. For lighting and controls, check supported roof zones, motors and accessory dependencies. Save the configurations the buyer wants to compare so the sales team can continue the same conversation.
Use AR where it helps the decision
If AR is included in the implementation and supported on the device, use it to explain placement and scale. Check placement behaviour and model dimensions. Continue to use the survey and manufacturer's approval process for the actual installation.
Track informed choices, not assumed sales lifts
Measure which options were shown, selected, quoted and accepted. Review why buyers declined an option and whether the price explanation was complete. Attachment rates vary by product, customer need and sales channel; establish a baseline from your own projects.
