HiFAB
Reimagining Home Buying with 3D Customization
HiFAB
Overview
Award-winning Texan architecture studio Lake|Flato has partnered with developer Oaxaca Interests to create HiFAB, a new venture producing homes smaller than 2000 square feet. HiFAB Homes are sustainably constructed inside a certified building factory under controlled and efficient conditions and then transported to your home site.
HiFAB came to Dreamers of Day to create an innovative digital platform that simplifies the home-buying process while engaging potential buyers with interactive visualization tools. The result was a flagship marketing site featuring a cutting-edge 3D home customizer, a seamless online ordering system, and robust integrations with DocuSign, Stripe, and NetSuite.

Challenge
Lack of a Personalized Buyer Experience
HiFAB needed a way to provide potential buyers with an interactive platform to preview and personalize their homes, covering every detail from interiors to exteriors. The challenge was to design an engaging, user-friendly tool that showcased HiFAB’s sustainable designs while remaining accessible to non-technical users.
Disconnected Customization and Ordering Process
The absence of a seamless connection between the home customization process and the online ordering system posed a major hurdle. Buyers required a straightforward, step-by-step experience that smoothly guided them from selecting design options to completing their purchase.
Insecure and Cumbersome Transactions
HiFAB’s existing approach lacked a secure and efficient system for handling digital signatures and payments. A trustworthy solution was essential to provide buyers with a streamlined, transparent purchasing process that ensured security at every step.
Inconsistent Inventory and Order Tracking
Maintaining accurate, real-time updates for inventory and orders was a significant challenge. Without seamless data synchronization across customization, payment, and delivery stages, buyers risked encountering outdated information and order discrepancies.

Solution
Immersive 3D Home Customizer
We developed a cutting-edge 3D home visualizer that allows users to explore and customize their homes in real time. Buyers can adjust exterior and interior elements, preview color schemes, and choose finishes, creating a tailored experience that reflects their vision. This tool integrates seamlessly into the website and ensures the visualizer’s responsiveness across devices, providing an immersive experience that elevates buyer confidence.
Seamless Online Ordering System
Our team designed a streamlined online ordering system that guides users step-by-step from customization to purchase. The interface is intuitive and user-friendly, ensuring buyers can easily navigate options without technical barriers. By combining design clarity with functional robustness, the system minimizes cart abandonment and maximizes user satisfaction.
DocuSign & Stripe Integration
To ensure a secure and transparent buying process, we integrated DocuSign for digital document signing and Stripe for payment processing. These tools offer a seamless and efficient experience, allowing buyers to finalize purchases with confidence. By prioritizing security and compliance, we ensured the platform met the highest standards of trustworthiness and usability.
Real-Time Inventory and Order Management
We implemented a dynamic NetSuite integration to manage inventory and track orders in real time. This integration ensures that every aspect of the home-buying process—from customization options to delivery timelines—is updated instantaneously. The system eliminates discrepancies, providing users with accurate data and a smooth purchasing journey.
