Site survey
Walls corner by corner, typed measurements that lock, openings and services, floor by floor, and the plot outside.

Delineo is where you measure and draw. DesBu is where the job is priced, scheduled and delivered. Link them and the survey goes with the job.
The problem
Measurements Typed Twice
The survey is in one place and the estimate is in another, so somebody types the figures again. Every re-type is a chance to get one wrong.
The answer
One Survey, Straight Into DesBu
The link is optional, and only shows if your account also has DesBu.
01
Link a job
Pick the DesBu project from the job card. Without DesBu, Delineo works exactly as it always has.
02
Send the pack
Your PDF and the photos pinned to the walls land in the project’s documents, marked internal until you choose to share them with the client.
03
Rooms, measured
Floor, ceiling and wall areas, perimeters, ceiling heights, windows, doors and services arrive as the project’s rooms. Send again after a re-measure and they update.
04
A starting estimate
Choose rates from your own rate library and the quantities come from the survey, converted to each rate’s unit, with a waste allowance you set for each.
05
Surveyors and teammates
Invite a surveyor to a project by email and they work under your DesBu plan at no cost to them. They see only that project, and you can remove them at any time.
06
One account
One RAAIX account covers both apps. Each app has its own plan, and you can use either on its own.
FAQ
Questions.
Do I need DesBu?
No. Delineo works on its own. DesBu is a separate plan, and with both you take 25% off either one while you have both.
What goes across to DesBu?
The PDF pack, the photos pinned to walls, the rooms with their measurements, room notes and snags.
