Blu Homes Launches New Blu | 3-D Configurator™, Offering Real-Time Price Calculations on All of Its Homes

NEW YORK, April 19, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- California and Massachusetts-based precision home builder, Blu Homes (www.bluhomes.com), is improving the way Americans purchase new homes with the launch of a new version of its cutting-edge 3-D Configurator™. Anyone can access the Blu Configurator for free at bluhomes.com/configurator and begin personalizing a Blu home. And now, users will also receive real-time pricing information based on each selected option, of which there are hundreds of thousands—from exterior siding and kitchen appliances to bathroom fixtures and cabinetry finishes.

Additional features of the new Configurator include:

• Interactive pricing for all seven Blu home models, with real-time price calculations and updates for each spec chosen.
• Location-specific pricing, based on the user's site selection.
• PDF print out and Excel (CSV) output with all selected specs and associated pricing.  

After choosing one of Blu's seven eco-friendly, architect-designed home models, users select their options and features in an easy to use, realistic 3-D environment. Since its October 2011 launch, over 10,000 home designs have been saved with the Configurator.

Unlike conventional architectural 3-D renderings, Blu is able to connect the 3-D models created in the Configurator back to Blu's precision-building process, creating a seamless integration between design and manufacturing and advancing construction quality significantly.  Blu builds each home from the client's 3-D custom model, using precision tooling and trained craftsman in its climate-controlled factory in Vallejo, CA.
