Integrating magicplan with CoConstruct

As a magicplan user, you can now create a project with detailed dimensions in magicplan and transfer your selected measurements as parameters to create an estimate in CoConstruct.

CoConstruct is a software that offers web and mobile app solutions for home builders and remodellers to simplify project management. And now, with magicplan's CoConstruct integration, you can use our sketching and measuring capabilities for your estimating purposes as well!

Using magicplan, you can first measure and build your project. You can then send these measurements to CoConstruct, where you can use these data points as parameters for estimating. 

Enabling the CoConstruct Integration

Before enabling the integration, you will need to first create projects in both magicplan and in CoConstruct before transferring the data parameters. You can then go through setting up the integration with the steps as detailed below.

In the magicplan Cloud:

• Log into your magicplan Cloud and click on the 'API & Integrations' option from the menu
• Select 'Enable' under the CoConstruct tab so that you can then access it in the app

Then, in CoConstruct:

• Log in to your CoConstruct account
• Go to the “Projects” tab and create a new CoConstruct project
• Enter all project information and select as “Financial Structure”, “Open Book”
• Click on “Add Project” to create the project
• Once the project is created it can receive magicplan measurements. 

In the magicplan app:

• In the app, open the project you would like to export to CoConstruct
• Within the project, select 'Files & Sharing' and switch to the 'Sharing' tab
• Tap on CoConstruct to activate the file transfer
• Enter your CoConstruct credentials and allow the sharing of project statistics
• Once you choose the project you want to send the Parameters to, you will be able to access them in CoConstruct

You can find a detailed list of all the magicplan parameters that can be sent to CoConstruct here.
