СтройБиржа’s Smart Plan is best understood as a “renovation cost-estimation SaaS + local construction marketplace.” Users upload a BTI floor plan, the system generates a renovation budget in about 15 seconds, and the project can then be posted for verified construction teams to bid on. It is not general-purpose enterprise software, but a deeply vertical product for residential/commercial renovation, construction contracting, and self-build scenarios in Russia.
The platform supports JPEG, PNG, and PDF floor-plan parsing, scale calibration, wall/room drawing, furniture drag-and-drop, and an object catalog. Its main selling point is that it automatically adds commonly missed items—such as sockets, wall chasing, and concealed works—based on 439 rules, then outputs a budget broken down by room, materials, logistics, and construction stage. It also provides 3D previews, screenshots, PDF downloads, before/after comparisons, and ready-made floor-plan templates from developers. On the collaboration side, homeowners can publish projects, while construction teams can find and quote jobs via “radar,” chat, issue invoices, deliver work, and handle staged acceptance. However, there is no clear information on enterprise-grade role permissions, approval workflows, or multi-team management.
The text clearly states that homeowners can start using the service for free, and that worker registration and access to the order flow are also free, with “no paid responses or subscriptions” on the worker side. The actual business model is more likely tied to transactions: quotes include labor, materials, logistics, and management fees; staged payments are held in escrow; funds are released to workers after acceptance; and the interface also shows a commission field. However, the specific commission, management-fee rates, and payment costs are not disclosed, so pricing transparency remains limited.
The security mechanisms mainly revolve around transactions: fund freezing, a 72-hour acceptance period, dispute arbitration, and technical supervision. On compliance, the platform supports Russian FNS verification of INN and states that it does not store passport data, only the verification result. It also guides workers to become self-employed and use “Мой налог.” Visible third-party integrations include Yandex login, FNS, and app-store entry points, but there is no information about APIs, webhooks, CRM/ERP integrations, or developer documentation.
Its strengths are an intuitive estimation workflow, rule-based handling of concealed works, and a strong closed-loop transaction process. It suits Russian homeowners who want to quickly estimate renovation costs and find construction teams, as well as self-employed workers and construction crews looking for projects. The downsides are its heavy localization: language, tax, payments, templates, and contractor resources all depend on the Russian market. Platform fees are not transparent, and there is also little public explanation of estimate accuracy or liability boundaries.
Access from China is unknown. Even if accessible, its practical value in China would be limited: BTI, FNS, INN, Russia’s self-employed tax system, and local construction-team resources do not map well to the Chinese market. Domestic alternatives worth watching include 土巴兔, 齐家网, 住小帮, as well as design/cloud-rendering and planning tools such as 酷家乐 and 三维家.
