Outdoor living, from first conversation to final reveal. ModernXscapes is a Wisconsin design-build studio creating architectural pergolas, decks, custom cabanas and pools. As a StruXure dealer, the company builds about 30 StruXure systems a year. Its designers, project leads and dedicated crews bring thoughtful planning and craftsmanship to spaces built around how homeowners live outside. Its service range includes Pergola X, Cabana X, TimberTech decking, Lumon outdoor glass and LivingSpace sunrooms. With that many possibilities, telling the story of a project matters as much as showing a list of materials. ModernXscapes uses BidBuild Scenes regularly to give its presentations more impact, and has become more productive since the launch of BidBuild IQ.
The Challenge
An outdoor living project is more than a deck, a pergola or a pool in isolation. It is the way those pieces work together: where people gather, how the space feels and how a homeowner will use it through the seasons. Communicating that vision calls for more than a price and a description. ModernXscapes’ story shares a familiar theme with T4 Fiberglass Pools: bringing more structure to a business with many moving parts. For ModernXscapes, a distinctive part of that story is the customer presentation. The team needs to make its design thinking tangible while keeping the business productive behind the scenes. Its published process already emphasizes considered scope, clear timelines and a dedicated project lead. BidBuild adds a place for the presentation and productivity side of that work to develop alongside the company’s craftsmanship.
The Setup
Scenes: giving the vision more impact. ModernXscapes uses BidBuild Scenes frequently to intensify its customer presentations. Instead of letting the conversation stop at individual products, the team can build a visual story around the outdoor space and what it could become. The presentation becomes a natural extension of the company’s design-first approach. Scenes supports shareable links and QR codes, before-and-after photos, 360-degree images and catalog-linked hotspots. Those are available presentation tools, not a claim that ModernXscapes uses every format on every project. What is confirmed is that Scenes is a regular part of its presentation work. BidBuild IQ: building on the foundation. Since the launch of BidBuild IQ, ModernXscapes has made the company more productive. BidBuild’s proprietary, contractor-focused AI adds another layer to the platform: specialists prepare work for human review and approval. For this team, the reported outcome is a more productive company—not a replacement for the people who design and build its projects.

StruXure systems built per year as a dealer
The approximate annual StruXure volume is a business fact, not a result attributed to BidBuild. Scenes use and the qualitative productivity improvement were supplied by BidBuild; no percentage improvements or time savings have been claimed.
A more compelling way to present. Scenes has become a recurring part of how ModernXscapes presents its work. It gives the team a richer way to communicate the outdoor living vision—bringing the conversation back to the experience of the space, rather than only its individual components. A more productive company. The launch of BidBuild IQ marks the next chapter in that story. ModernXscapes reports increased company productivity since its introduction. No numerical improvement has been provided; the result is a qualitative one, and it is presented that way. Craftsmanship remains at the center. The company’s promise is still thoughtful design, dedicated people and outdoor spaces built to endure. BidBuild supports that work with stronger presentations and a more productive business. Technology does not become the story instead of the project. It helps the team tell the project’s story—and keep building it.
