For steel fabricators and builders
Homeowners design a backyard home in 3D, check their lot and reserve it, on your site with your brand. You get the customer and the build. Ekstra does the software, the plans and the site plan.
State after state is requiring cities to allow backyard homes, and every new law puts thousands of homeowners in front of a decision they have never priced. The builder who shows them a real design, on their own lot, with a real price, wins the job. Utah is a clear example: its detached ADU law, S.B. 284, opens 217,277 lots in 82 cities from October 1, 2026. Utah’s law · Utah’s city rules

42 designs to start from, 6 backyard homes, 17 garages, 5 workspaces and 14 saunas, each changed room by room, door by door, in 3D with a floor plan that keeps up.
Homeowners place their design on their own lot and see the clearances. In Utah, a lot check also applies their city’s detached ADU rule to their county parcel, across 82 covered cities.
Every $1,500 reservation comes with architectural plans and a site plan placing the design on the customer’s lot, under your brand.
The frame is priced from the design’s own bill of materials through Gage, so a quote reflects what the homeowner actually drew.
Every homeowner who signs up on your site is your customer. Your team signs in to see them, what they designed and where they’re building.

The customer, the plans and the site plan are ready. The build is yours to price, contract and deliver.
On Standard, not by you: there is no setup fee and no subscription. Homeowners pay a $1,500 reservation when they’re ready. It comes with their architectural plans and a site plan, and that is how Ekstra is paid. Everything after that, the frame, the finishes and the build, is your business, at your price.
