Getting Started

Welcome to CSR Foundry

Overview of CSR Foundry and how to get started with the platform.

CSR Foundry is a modern construction cost estimating platform. This documentation covers how to set up your account, build your first estimate, collaborate with your team, and integrate with the rest of your workflow.

What you'll find here

The documentation is organized around the work you do:

• Getting Started — account setup, core concepts, your first estimate walkthrough.
• Estimating — cost folders, production rates, reference libraries, and day-to-day estimating workflows.
• Review & Quality Control — structured review workflows, change history, automated quality checks.
• Collaboration — multi-user editing, roles, permissions, and integrations.
• API Reference — programmatic access to your projects and data.
