What's Coming to RenderDraw — Visual Takeoffs and Connected Workflows for Construction, Fire Protection, and HVAC

RenderDraw is launching visual 2D takeoff, 3D configuration, spare parts, and workflow automation built for construction estimating, fire protection, and HVAC teams. Here's what's coming.

Something big is coming to RenderDraw.

For years, the teams doing the most technical, detail-intensive work in the built environment — construction estimators, fire protection engineers, HVAC and mechanical contractors — have been stuck with a fragmented stack. They take off drawings in one tool, price parts in another, build quotes in a third, and manually push data between all of them. The errors compound. The cycle time drags. The best people spend their days on data re-entry instead of winning more business.

RenderDraw is changing that.

We are bringing our visual configuration and workflow automation platform to three industries that have needed it most. Here is a preview of what is coming — and why it matters for your team.

Who We Are Building This For

Construction Estimating Teams

If your team receives drawing packages, performs material takeoffs, and is expected to deliver priced quotes fast — this is built for you.

Construction estimating is a precision sport. A single missed line item or a mis-keyed quantity can cost a bid. The teams we talk to are doing heroic work: marking up PDFs, cross-referencing catalogs, manually entering quantities into CPQ systems like Salesforce, Logik, or SAP. Every handoff is a risk.

RenderDraw connects the drawing directly to the quote. Your estimators work in a live canvas that captures quantities, validates them against your catalog, and pushes clean line items to your CPQ system — no spreadsheet in between.

Fire Protection Contractors and Engineers

Fire protection quoting involves exacting specifications, compliance checkpoints, and system configurations that cannot afford to be wrong. Heads, pipe diameters, flow calculations, code compliance — all of it has to be right before the quote goes out.

RenderDraw brings visual configuration to fire protection, letting your team configure systems from the drawing, validate against catalog and compliance rules, and generate quote-ready output that your back office can trust.

HVAC and Mechanical Contractors

HVAC and mechanical work sits at the intersection of equipment configuration, system design, and procurement. Your teams are dealing with complex assemblies, long parts lists, and customers who want answers fast.

RenderDraw's spare parts catalog, 3D configuration, and workflow automation surfaces were designed for exactly this complexity. From identifying replacement parts on a visual diagram to configuring a full mechanical assembly and pushing it to your ERP or CPQ — we connect the pieces.

What RenderDraw Will Do For Your Team

Here is what is coming across all three industries:


2D Takeoff — Upload construction or system drawings and perform interactive takeoffs directly in your browser. Quantities are extracted, mapped to your catalog, and validated before they ever reach your CPQ.

3D Configuration — Configure complex products and assemblies visually. Buyers and sales engineers see what they are building in real time. Your back office receives a validated BOM.

Spare Parts Catalog — Give your customers a visual way to identify and order the exact parts they need. Reduce mis-orders and support tickets. Automate parts orders back to your ERP or fulfillment system.

Data Visualization — Turn your product, pricing, and workflow data into dashboards and decision-support tools your ops team can actually act on.


Workflow Automation — Connect every step — drawing ingestion, catalog lookup, CPQ push, human review, approval routing — into a single auditable workflow run. No more chasing data across systems.

The Problem We Are Solving

The core problem is the gap between where work happens and where data lives.

Your estimators are fast. Your engineers are smart. Your sales teams are motivated. But they are losing hours every day to the work between the work — copying data from one system to another, chasing approvals, reconciling catalog versions, rebuilding quotes from scratch because a drawing changed.

RenderDraw closes that gap. We sit between your visual work surface (the drawing, the configurator, the parts diagram) and your connected systems (your CPQ, your ERP, your CRM) — and we automate the handoff. Every step is logged. Every line item is validated. Every approval is tracked.


The result is faster quotes, fewer errors, and teams that can take on more business without adding headcount.


Coming Soon — And We Want to Talk to You First

We are rolling this out now, and we are being deliberate about it. We want to work closely with the teams in construction estimating, fire protection, and HVAC and mechanical who are ready to move fast and help us build the right workflows for your specific environment.

If you are running a team that is drowning in manual quoting, re-keying data between systems, or struggling to get drawing quantities into your CPQ fast enough to win bids — we want to hear from you.

We are not running a demo script. We want to understand your workflow, show you what we are building, and tell you honestly whether it fits. No pressure. No pitch deck.

Just a real conversation about what it would take to make your quoting process faster, cleaner, and connected.
