SimplyWise Cost Estimator FAQs


Cost Estimator

The room scan feature is a great way to get measurements and a 3D model of the space of your project. To get started, tap the blue + button on the home screen, and then tap Room Scan and start from there. Be sure to save it once created, or you won’t be able to access it later if needed.

To attach a room scan to an estimate before creating the estimate, you’ll want to generate the room scan first. Once you have your room scan saved, you can tap the blue + button and then tap estimate.

This will bring you to the Project Description screen where you’ll input the scope of work. Under the text box, you’ll see a series of icons; the third icon from the left (diamond shape) icon is what you’ll tap to access the saved room scans and attach what you need. 

Note: For now, this feature is only available on Apple Pro devices, although we are working to expand the devices we serve with this feature.

We also have a video library filled with quick tutorials that walk through the app’s features if you think that would be helpful. 📌 Link here: https://www.youtube.com/@simplywise-estimates/videos

Generate the room scan first and save it. Then when creating a new estimate, you can attach the saved room scan to the project.

We apologize for any confusion — we’re working on expanding device compatibility!
