In an exciting development, IdeaRoom and SmartBuild have launched a powerful new integration, bringing together best-in-class visualization for the end consumer with construction software to create an unparalleled end-to-end solution for post-frame, red iron, carport and shed projects.
Seamless Connection Between Design and Estimation
This integration bridges the gap between IdeaRoom's interactive 3D configurator and SmartBuild's advanced estimating platform. With this new synergy, building manufacturers, contractors, and resellers can seamlessly transition from immersive, real-time visualization with their customers to automated material takeoffs, pricing, and detailed construction documents—without the need for redundant data entry or manual calculations.

2. Instantly Generate Accurate Estimates & Materials Lists
When the customer is finished, the integration transfers design specifications from IdeaRoom directly into SmartBuild’s system. SmartBuild automatically generates precise material takeoffs, pricing estimates, and structural designs based on the customized configuration.3. Eliminate Manual Data Entry & Reduce Errors
This integration eliminates the need for manual data re-entry, reducing errors and saving valuable time. Sales teams are now empowered to follow up with quotes that are generated based on an accurate Bill of Materials, which can improve the customer buying experience and kick off the construction process.
