Rendr's scanning technology makes it easy to capture essential project measurements without needing existing floorplans. You can then export these measurements, along with notes and photos, directly into Buildxact to create detailed estimates.

Follow these simple steps to integrate Rendr with Buildxact and use Rendr's scanning technology to populate your estimate:

  1. Open your Rendr account and go to the Integrations page.

  2. Find the Buildxact tile.

  3. Click Connect to Buildxact.

4. Enter your Buildxact log in details to connect.

5. Click Accept to authorize the connection.

6. Once connected, the Buildxact tile in Rendr will indicate the integration is active.

7. To view your scanned areas in Rendr, click Spaces in the left-hand menu.

8. Select the space you want to create an estimate for.

9. Rendr will open the scanned area, showing the floorplan and measurements. Click Buildxact Estimate to transfer these details into Buildxact. You will see a pop-up message asking you to choose an existing Buildxact estimate or create a new estimate.

10. In Buildxact, the measurements from Rendr will appear under Estimates > Plans & Takeoffs in the estimate you nominated. You can use these to build out your estimate costings.

11. To use your Rendr measurements in your Estimate Costings, click on the Estimate Costings tab.

12. Select a relevant category and click on the calculator button.

13. Select the measurement and click on the green '=' (equals) symbol. The measurement will now appear in your estimate costings line item.

To access any notes and/or photos that have been imported from Rendr, navigate to Estimate Details and scroll down.
