Cost + timeline for furniture Magento build?

Realistic ranges for a furniture-specific Magento + Hyvä build:

• Greenfield (replatform from Shopify or new build): 12-16 weeks, $35k-$95k. Includes Hyvä theme + configurator + LTL freight integration + lead-time tracking + AR/3D wiring + B2B trade layer + showroom booking.
• Configurator-only retrofit on existing Magento: 4-6 weeks, $12k-$30k. Adds the fabric/finish/dimension picker + visual swatches + validation rules + custom-options optimisation.
• LTL freight integration only: 2-4 weeks, $6k-$18k. FreightCenter / uShip API + white-glove + assembly line items.
• AR/3D visualization rollout: 4-8 weeks (depends on 3D-model availability), $8k-$25k for the integration; 3D models themselves cost $200-$1,500 each from a vendor like CGI Furniture or Confetti Design.
• B2B trade program retrofit: 3-6 weeks, $10k-$28k. Trade application form + customer-group pricing + Net-30 + hidden catalog + designer rebate tracking.

Ongoing: $1.5k-$5k/mo retainer for continuous optimisation through seasonal calendar (configurator UX iterations, freight rate audits, AR conversion tuning, trade-program refinements). Most brands keep a retainer for the first 12 months post-launch.

What inflates timeline: 3D model acquisition (12+ weeks if starting from scratch), ERP / OMS integration (NetSuite / Acumatica), custom production-management extension if standard ones don’t fit, multi-region launch (US + EU + UK).

The cheapest builds skip AR + skip B2B trade + use a generic LTL aggregator. The most expensive builds include real-time configurator visual rendering + bespoke production-management workflow + 4-region deployment.
