Reviewed for Flex Version 3.0

RENDR is designed to work with your estimating software—not replace it.

Rather than manually measuring rooms, recalculating quantities, or trying to recreate proposed layouts inside your estimating platform, you can build and refine the project in Flex first.

As you edit the floor plan, Flex updates the room-based parameters generated from that design.

Those parameters can then be sent into supported estimating platforms, allowing your estimate to begin with project data that reflects the floor plan you’ve already reviewed and refined.

Your estimating software remains where pricing, labor, materials, proposals, and estimating workflows are managed.

Refine the project once. Estimate from that design.

Most digital measuring solutions take one of two approaches:

RENDR was designed differently.

Flex prepares the project before estimating begins, allowing you to continue working inside supported estimating platforms like JobTread and Buildxact.

Instead of changing the software your business already relies on, RENDR provides accurate room-based parameters from the floor plan you’ve already reviewed and refined.

That means you can continue estimating with the software you know while reducing repetitive measuring and manual takeoffs.

A common estimating workflow looks like this:

Instead of manually recalculating quantities throughout the estimating process, your project begins with room-based parameters generated from the Flex design.

Every project is different.

Some remodelers estimate the home exactly as it exists today.

Others prefer to develop a conceptual remodel in Flex before estimating.

For example, you might:

Because room-based parameters are generated from your Flex project, those changes can be reflected in the information exported to supported estimating platforms.

This allows you to estimate the project you’re planning to build—not just the home that exists today.

You don’t have to switch estimating platforms.

You don’t have to recreate your design.

You simply refine the project in Flex and continue estimating with the software your business already knows.

Room-based parameters are calculated values generated from your Flex floor plan.

Depending on the project, these may include information such as:

These parameters help reduce repetitive measuring and manual takeoffs by providing calculated project information based on the floor plan you’ve created in Flex.

The specific parameters available depend on the integration you’re using.

RENDR Flex currently integrates with:

Each integration has its own capabilities and workflow.

For platform-specific setup instructions and details about supported room-based parameters, refer to the dedicated Help Center article for your estimating software.

Before exporting to your estimating software, review the project to ensure it represents the work you’re pricing.

Recommended items to verify include:

A project that accurately reflects the intended scope will produce room-based parameters that better support your estimating workflow.

Estimators shouldn’t spend hours recreating information that already exists.

RENDR was built to eliminate repetitive measuring and manual quantity calculations—not replace the estimating software remodelers already trust.

By preparing the project in Flex first, your estimating software begins with room-based parameters generated from a floor plan you’ve already reviewed and refined.

No.

RENDR prepares accurate project geometry and room-based parameters that can be used by supported estimating platforms.

Your estimating software remains where pricing, labor, materials, proposals, and estimating workflows are managed.

Yes.

One of the biggest advantages of using Flex is that room-based parameters are generated from the floor plan you’ve reviewed and refined—not simply from the original scan.

If you edit walls, adjust room layouts, relocate openings, or update flooring areas, those changes can affect the room-based parameters exported to supported estimating platforms.

The exact information available depends on the integration you’re using.

Refer to the JobTread or Buildxact integration guide for platform-specific details.

Either.

Estimate whichever floor plan represents the work you’re pricing.

If you’re pricing the home as it exists today, export the existing conditions.

If you’ve already developed a conceptual remodel in Flex, export the updated floor plan instead.

Many remodelers use both workflows depending on the project.

No.

RENDR generates project geometry and room-based parameters.

Pricing, labor calculations, materials, proposals, and estimate creation continue to happen inside your estimating software.

Room-based parameters are generated from your reviewed Flex project and are intended to reduce manual measuring and repetitive takeoffs.

Every estimate should still be reviewed before being presented to a customer.

Professional judgment should always be applied when preparing project pricing.

Yes.

We’re continually expanding our integration ecosystem based on customer demand.

As additional estimating integrations become available, they’ll be documented in the Help Center.

Each estimating integration includes its own Help Center article explaining:
