Shared foundation: building data, documents and collaboration connect the modules. Invited participants collaborate for free within their project role; independent professional editing requires the appropriate modules. Collaboration is not an additional module.
Keep using project data for technical operations and marketing. Availability follows the respective offer.
Explore technical operations ↗Edit building data, review derived quantities and select work items. RENALDO connects this basis to estimating, specifications and construction schedules. Less re-entry and transfer, more time for design and site supervision.
Use the model and room schedule for quantities and costs. Hand over all modelled components to your designer via IFC, starting from LOD2 and a hypothetical room schedule.
See the workflow ↘02Use building models, preliminary calculations and draft plans as a shared starting point. Review with specialists, refine and reuse for costs, procurement and delivery.
See the workflow ↘03Building data and predefined work items produce the estimate. Review quantities and scope, then reuse the same basis for tendering.
See the workflow ↘04Generate the specification, invite suppliers and compare price and completeness – against the Renaldo market price per item, even before the first bid.
See the workflow ↘05Quantity-based durations and predefined dependencies generate the sequence. Adapt takt and capacity to the project.
See the workflow ↘Explore floors, apartments and rooms in 2D and 3D. A schematic view emerges from the building definition, connected to the room schedule, quantities and costs.
Rotate the building, reveal interiors and select floors or apartments. Derived dimensions remain identifiable as assumptions; the schematic view is not a measured floor plan.
Imported IFC rooms and elements add detail. In the construction schedule, view the sequence on the schematic building or imported geometry.
ILLUSTRATIVE VIEWAvailable before an IFC import. Missing geometry remains identifiable as an assumption.

Renaldo thinks about every retrofit from the end backwards: a contractor's invoice is always work item × quantity × unit price – Renaldo determines all three and turns them into a reliable, tender-ready cost plan.
Quantities from the building, prices from the market.
Workspace / Cost planningJLRenaldo thinks about every retrofit from the end backwards: a contractor's invoice is always work item × quantity × unit price – Renaldo determines all three and turns them into a reliable, tender-ready cost plan.
Quantities from the building, prices from the market.
You choose the work item. The quantity comes from your building and room data, the price from real regional contractor rates. No counting windows, no calculating wall areas.
Survey, a cost estimate at real contractor prices, and design – the reliable basis for every engagement.
Your goal in this phase
Renaldo works the costing back from the end: the cost-certainty indicator shows at any moment how solid your numbers are – and what is still missing before they are tender-ready.
Get going fast: pull measures from an existing retrofit roadmap (iSFP), use the Renaldo retrofit calculator for proposals derived from the existing building, or ask SAM. From there you build the works configuration – five levels drawn from 20 trades plus design and support services, linked automatically to the building data. Quantities from the model, real contractor and consultant prices, dependencies checked. So you can give your client a number early that actually holds.
A complete works configuration is made up of five building blocks – each with a clearly responsible role. The checklist makes the gaps visible and shows who you need to bring in, and when. That's how you head off the expensive surprises that start with “nobody thought of that”.
Cost new-build schemes across every trade, with real contractor prices and the funding that fits (e.g. the German KFN/QNG schemes, EH40). From shell to fit-out – the same cost truth as in a retrofit, just for a new building.
The base including one internal user: buildings, quantities, cost scenarios, renovation concepts and reports.

Workspace / Portfolio cockpitJL✓ Every feature for 30 days – no credit card. Plans carry a watermark during the trial.
Built by practitioners: 10 years of retrofit project management plus 30+ years of construction expertise.
That is exactly what RENALDO for building professionals is for.
Not an anonymous software house: Gregor builds Renaldo along the real workflows of architects and engineers. In 60 seconds he explains why. (Video in German.)
From a database covering more than 20 trades.
From your building and room data.
Real regional contractor rates.
Quantity take-off, bill of quantities, bid comparison, construction schedule — four jobs that normally cost days, all produced here from one configuration.
Straight from the configuration into the tender.
Your configuration becomes a tender-ready bill of quantities across every trade — with long descriptions, quantities and unit prices. From there straight into the local search and the online request.
Renaldo covers every phase – plan & cost, tender & award, build & settle. No broken handovers, no point solutions. The same three phases guide you inside the app: the task view shows what's next in each one.
Tender from the finished bill of quantities, approach contractors, and compare bids objectively with AI.
Site supervision with inspection points and defects, plus AI invoice checking against the bill of quantities and awards.
Produce a complete proposal per project, contract terms included – either from modular Renaldo service blocks (prices taken straight from your works configuration) or as a fee under the German HOAI scale (chargeable costs, work stages, fee zone and rate, and the conversion surcharge). Quantities and prices are pre-filled and editable at any time. The clever part: the costs you quote flow via the basket straight into your client's budget – once they are priced in, proposals get questioned less and signed faster.
The contractors and consultants who have proven themselves sit in one central supplier library – not scattered across your contacts. Rate every collaboration in three categories (communication, quality, price fairness), with history and average. For each trade Renaldo suggests your best suppliers; with auto-inclusion they land in matching requests automatically. Anyone who doesn't convince goes on the block list.
The digital site diary documents every working day defensibly (with the entry types required by the German VOB) – weather pulled automatically from the German weather service, entries dictated by voice, and a clean, editable AI weekly report at the touch of a button. A critical entry converts straight into a defect; the planned/actual check shows “on plan” or “overdue” per trade. Plus inspection points derived from the configured works, defects with photo and location, and AI invoice checking against the bill of quantities and the awarded contracts.
Model apartment blocks and whole neighbourhoods: buildings with cores, storeys and residential units, each with its own room schedule. Quantities and costs are derived from that structure and scale automatically with the number of units.
Technical questions on German building-energy law, BAFA/KfW funding, building physics and standards – SAM answers in expert terms, in the context of your project.
White-label PDFs with your logo, CSVs for ORCA, Abbey or Excel – slots into the tendering workflow you already have.
Exported from the basket with a purpose of use (retrofit, purchase + retrofit, extension) – for you as the professional to validate and sign.
Floors, bathroom fittings, tiles and the rest as a variant-specific checklist with live prices and nearby showrooms – worked through point by point.
Match BAFA/KfW programmes and, optionally, check contractor bids for BEG compliance – if you're supporting your clients through it.

A prepared starting point reduces repeated data entry, especially in renovation. RENALDO connects the building model, room schedule and draft drawings. Your designer receives the model via IFC, reviews it and develops the architectural design and subsequent planning.
Available LOD2 building data and a hypothetical room schedule provide an initial model. Existing drawings, surveys, scans or IFC data refine that starting point.
IFC4 export includes the components present in the model: walls, slabs, roof, stairs, windows and doors, plus spaces, quantities, materials and properties. Draft drawings from the Planning Center support the handover.
The designer checks dimensions and existing conditions, adds a measured survey where needed and makes the final architectural adjustments. Professional planning builds on the early design.
LOD2 and a hypothetical room schedule are early design assumptions, not a measured survey. Spaces without a known location remain records without invented geometry. The designer checks import and editability in the chosen CAD system and remains responsible for professional review and approval.
Module: Plan & Calculate. File handover follows the project release rules for plans and data exports; a trial alone does not unlock IFC downloads. Housing and homeowner project and package rules apply.

Every bid measured against your own bill of quantities.
Tender straight from the finished bill of quantities: local search across the professional network, online request, bids and award in the portal. The AI bid analysis lines up bids for the same works item by item – quantities, prices, missing or additional items all immediately visible. So your award recommendation is one you can justify.

Connect quantities, work items and your next tender.
Start for freeWhat changed since the contract was awarded? Renaldo connects items, quantities and the contractor’s offer to your decision. Open proposals and approved additional costs remain separate.
Approval commissions the variation and requires a price. Only approved variations increase the order value. Additional time can be added as a separate schedule task, which also contributes to the progress comparison.
Does billing match construction progress? Renaldo connects orders, variations, progress and invoices to highlight overpayment risks before approval.
The decision remains yours. Warnings do not block payment.
Illustrative view50 percentage points ahead: billing is substantially ahead of construction.
Construction progress from status updates, weighted by working days. No automatic payment.
The accepted order plus approved variations form the order value. Invoices are linked to orders; you resolve ambiguous cases.
Open defects, payment-related checkpoints and overruns are highlighted, as are final invoices before acceptance and variation invoices without an approved variation. Approval despite warnings requires a reason. Approval and recording payments require a separate permission.
Record payment dates, discounts and retention. Discount and due-date reminders support processing. Transfers are still made through your bank.
Ask homeowners in the project team to pay after approval and send reminders when needed. The last dispatch remains visible. Saved invoices can also be analysed with SAM later.
The traffic light compares billing with reported construction progress, not workmanship quality. Completion reports without acceptance are shown separately. Grey means the order or construction schedule is missing.
Generate the schedule from work items. Explore takt alternatives to shape the sequence and see saved dates mapped to floors, apartments and rooms in the 4D view.
Select a date, play the sequence and isolate trades. Switch between the schematic view and imported IFC geometry. Unresolved mappings remain visible.
Compare takt alternatives, follow task-linked checkpoints and record readiness and progress during site walks. 4D colours represent the plan; site reports document actual progress.
ILLUSTRATIVE VIEWSample fit-out trade. Colours show planned dates, not confirmed completion.
Schedule markers, a due-check view and reminders highlight upcoming inspections. Assign a checkpoint manually when needed.
Completion reporting uses the relevant step template. Area and task remain traceably linked.
And everyone involved keeps it current.
The durations come from the same configuration as the costs. If one task slips, the whole plan follows. Firms report from the portal — via link, no account.
Enter the address – the LoD2 building model is there immediately. Or import from a Doorbit 3D scan, Hottgenroth, EVEBI and IFC, straight into the works and building model. Extended building fields (new elements, demolition) cover full refurbishments, and the AI condition analysis turns a photo into a damage assessment with prioritised measures.
The drawing register lists the documents each work item needs – with a status (open, in progress, available, approved), the person responsible (architect, specialist designer, coach, contractor, or generated automatically) and upload straight from the list. Through the approval flow you request a change approval from the client – with subject, reasoning and an optional cost change; the client approves it without logging in, via an email link, and every step lands in the approval history. Window, rooflight and internal-door schedules are generated automatically from the room schedule, and the construction schedule organises phases, tasks (a two-level checklist) and milestones.
