Description of Business	'
	Description of Business
	Textura Corporation (the ‘‘Company’’) was originally formed as a Wisconsin limited liability company (Textura, LLC) in 2004 and converted to a Delaware corporation in 2007. The Company provides on-demand business collaboration software solutions to the commercial construction industry. The Company’s solutions increase efficiency, permit better risk management, provide better visibility and control of construction activities to clients and address several mission-critical business processes at various stages of the construction project life cycle.
	The Company is subject to a number of risks similar to other companies in a comparable stage of growth including, but not limited to, reliance on key personnel, the ability to access capital to support future growth, successful marketing of its solutions in an emerging market, and competition from other companies with potentially greater technical, financial and marketing resources. The Company has incurred significant losses and, until recently, negative cash flows from operations and continues to devote the majority of its resources to the growth of the Company’s business. The Company had an accumulated deficit of $205,512 as of September 30, 2014.
	To date, the Company’s activities have been financed primarily through the issuance of debentures, commercial debt, and the sale of equity securities.
	On May 1, 2014, the Company's Board of Directors approved a change in fiscal year end from September 30 to December 31. The decision to change the fiscal year end to coincide with the calendar year end is intended to improve comparability with industry peers and better align the Company's reporting and planning cycle with the construction industry. This change is effective for the current fiscal year end. Accordingly, the Company's next Annual Report on Form 10-K will be for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2014. The Company filed a Transition Report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended December 31, 2013 with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 9, 2014.

	Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
	Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation
	These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (‘‘U.S. GAAP’’). In accordance with U.S. GAAP requirements for interim financial statements, these condensed consolidated financial statements do not include certain information and note disclosures that are normally included in annual financial statements prepared in conformity with U.S. GAAP. Accordingly, these condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto as of September 30, 2013 and 2012 and for each of the three years in the period ended September 30, 2013 included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K filed on November 26, 2013 and with the condensed consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto as of and for the three months ended December 31, 2013 included in the Company's Transition Report on Form 10-Q filed on May 9, 2014. In the Company’s opinion, the condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (which are of a normal, recurring nature) necessary to present fairly, in all material respects, the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. Interim results may not be indicative of results that may be realized for the full year.
	In October 2012, the Company and Minter Ellison, a law firm in Australia, formed a joint venture, Textura Australasia, Pty. Ltd. (the “Joint Venture”), to offer the Company’s construction collaboration software solutions to the Australia and New Zealand markets. Both parties had contributed cash of $400, denominated in Australian dollars, for their respective 50% interests in the Joint Venture, and both parties had loaned the Joint Venture $100, denominated in Australian dollars, to fund its ongoing operations. The Company had consolidated the financial results of the Joint Venture because the Company had determined that the Joint Venture was a variable interest entity and that it was the primary beneficiary. The Company was the primary beneficiary of the Joint Venture due to its controlling financial interest through its authority with regard to hiring key employees and decision making of its central operations. Due to certain redemption provisions in the joint venture agreement, the Company had reflected Minter Ellison’s financial interest as redeemable non-controlling interest in the condensed consolidated balance sheet at its redemption value. On June 30, 2014, the Company purchased Minter Ellison’s interest in the Joint Venture for cash consideration of $1,743; including an equity buyout of $1,563, repayment of Minter Ellison's loan of $100 to the Joint Venture, denominated in Australian dollars, and the payment of all outstanding payables owed by the Joint Venture to Minter Ellison, resulting in Textura's 100% ownership of Textura Australasia, Pty. Ltd. The equity buyout and the payoff of the Minter Ellison loan were accounted for as financing activities in the cash flow statement and reflected within additional paid-in capital on our balance sheet. The payment of outstanding payables owed to Minter Ellison was reflected within operating activities in the cash flow statement.
	Segment Reporting
	The Company has one operating segment, providing on-demand business collaboration software solutions to the commercial construction industry. The Company’s chief operating decision maker, the Chief Executive Officer, manages the Company’s operations based on consolidated financial information for purposes of evaluating financial performance and allocating resources.
	Use of Estimates
	The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The estimates and assumptions used in the accompanying financial statements are based upon management’s evaluation of the relevant facts and circumstances at the balance sheet date. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates are involved in the Company’s revenue recognition, depreciation, amortization and assumptions for share‑based payments.
	Revenue Recognition
	For the Company’s CPM, Submittal Exchange and Greengrade solutions, the Company earns revenue from owners/developers, general contractors and architects in the form of monthly fees, project fees and subscription fees; and from subcontractors in the form of usage fees. For the Company’s GradeBeam, PQM and BidOrganizer solutions, the Company earns revenue in the form of subscription fees. For the LATISTA solution, which was acquired by the Company in December 2013 (see Note 3), the Company earns revenue from subscription fees and related professional services. The Company’s arrangements do not contain general rights of return and do not provide customers with the right to take possession of the software supporting the solutions and, as a result, are accounted for as service contracts.
	The Company’s on-demand solutions often include implementation, training and support. The Company evaluates whether the individual deliverables in its arrangements qualify as separate units of accounting. In order to treat deliverables in a multiple deliverable arrangement as separate units of accounting, the deliverables must have standalone value upon delivery. In determining whether deliverables have standalone value, the Company considers whether solutions are sold to new customers without implementation, training and support, the nature of these services provided and the availability of these services from other vendors. The Company concluded that implementation, training and support do not have standalone value because for the majority of its solutions, they are never sold separately, do not have value to the customer without the solution and are not available from other vendors. Accordingly, the total consideration for each arrangement is generally treated as a single unit of accounting.
	The Company recognizes this revenue when there is evidence that an agreement exists with the customer and the customer has begun deriving benefit from use of the solution, the fee is fixed and determinable, delivery of services has occurred, and collection of payment from the project participant is reasonably assured. The Company recognizes project fees and usage fees ratably over the average estimated life of the project and contract, respectively, and recognizes subscription fees over the subscription period. The average estimated life of the project and contract is estimated by management based on periodic review and analysis of historical data. The applicable estimated life is based on the project or contract value falling within certain predetermined ranges, as well as the solution on which the project is being managed. The Company performs periodic reviews of actual project and contract data and revises estimates as necessary. Estimated project life durations range from 6 to 29 months, and estimated contract life durations range from 4 to 18 months. Subscription periods typically range from 6 to 36 months.
	For its PlanSwift solution, the Company earns revenue from the sale of software licenses and related maintenance and training. License revenue is recognized upon delivery of the license, maintenance revenue is recognized ratably over the period of the maintenance contract, which is generally one year, and training revenue is recognized when the services are delivered to the client. For multiple-element arrangements that include a perpetual license for which the Company has not established vendor-specific objective evidence of fair value ("VSOE") and either maintenance or both maintenance and training, the Company uses the residual method to determine the amount of license revenue to be recognized. Under the residual method, consideration is allocated to the undelivered elements based upon VSOE of those elements with the residual of the arrangement fee allocated to and recognized as license revenue. For multiple-element arrangements that include a perpetual license for which the Company has established VSOE and either maintenance or both maintenance and training, the Company allocates the revenue among the different elements of the arrangement based on each element's relative VSOE. For subscription-based licenses, which include maintenance, the Company recognizes the subscription fees ratably over the subscription periods, which typically range from 1 to 6 months.
	The Company has established VSOE based on its historical pricing and discounting practices for maintenance, training and certain software licenses when sold separately. In establishing VSOE, the Company requires that a substantial majority of the selling prices for these services fall within a reasonably narrow pricing range. The application of VSOE methodologies requires judgment, including the identification of individual elements in multiple element arrangements and whether there is VSOE of fair value for some or all elements.
	Goodwill
	Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price of an acquired business over the fair value of the net assets acquired and is not amortized. Goodwill is subject to impairment testing at least annually, unless it is determined after a qualitative assessment that it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is greater than its carrying amount. On an annual basis, or in interim periods if indicators of potential impairment exist, goodwill is measured for impairment. The Company tests goodwill for impairment at a single reporting unit level and it has not reported any goodwill impairments to date.
	The Company evaluated both qualitative and quantitative characteristics in determining its reporting units. Based on this evaluation, it determined that it has one reporting unit. The Company's management team reviews historical profit and loss information and metrics on a consolidated basis. The Company believes that goodwill is recoverable from the overall operations given the economies of scale and leveraging capabilities of the various components.
	The Company conducts its annual test for goodwill impairment in the third calendar quarter. In the quarter ended September 30, 2014, the Company performed a qualitative assessment to determine whether it was more likely than not that the fair value of goodwill was less than its carrying amount. After consideration of market capitalization, the health and growth of our business and overall macroeconomic factors, the Company determined that it was more likely than not that the fair value of goodwill exceeded its carrying amount and further analysis was not necessary.
	Foreign Currency Transactions
	The functional currency of the Company is the United States Dollar. Asset and liability balances denominated in a foreign currency are remeasured to U.S. dollars at end-of-period exchange rates. Foreign currency income and expenses are remeasured at average exchange rates in effect during the period. Foreign currency translation differences have not been material to date and have been included in the statement of operations as incurred through March 31, 2013. Beginning in the quarter ended June 30, 2013, the Company recorded foreign currency translation differences in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss).
	Net Loss Per Share
	Basic net loss per share available to Textura Corporation common stockholders is calculated by dividing the net loss available to Textura Corporation common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding, less any treasury shares, during the period.
	Prior to the completion of the Company's initial public offering in June 2013 (the ‘‘IPO’’), in calculating net loss available to common stockholders, cumulative undeclared preferred stock dividends on the Series A-2 preferred stock and accretion in the redemption value of the redeemable Series A-1 preferred stock and redeemable non-controlling interest were deducted from net loss attributable to Textura Corporation stockholders. Although the redeemable Series A-1 preferred stock, Series A-2 preferred stock, and non-controlling interest were participating securities, there was no allocation of the Company’s net losses to these participating securities under the two-class method because they were not contractually required to share in the Company’s losses. Subsequent to the IPO, which resulted in the automatic conversion of the outstanding preferred stock into common stock, the Company only deducts the redeemable non-controlling interest accretion from net loss attributable to Textura Corporation stockholders.
	The following outstanding securities were excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share available to Textura Corporation common stockholders as their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive:

	Recently Issued Accounting Standards
	In August 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-15 (‘‘ASU 2014-15’’), “Disclosure of Uncertainties About an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern.’’ Under the new guidance, management will be required to assess an entity's ability to continue as a going concern, and to provide related footnote disclosures in certain circumstances. The provisions of ASU 2014-15 are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and for annual and interim periods thereafter.
	In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-09 (‘‘ASU 2014-09’’), “Revenue from Contracts with Customers.” ASU 2014-09 supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in “Revenue Recognition (Topic 605)”, and requires entities to recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. ASU 2014-09 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within that reporting period. Early adoption is not permitted. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2014-09 on its consolidated financial statements.
	Changes in Estimates
	During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, the Company recorded a change in estimate of $375 to bonus expense that it recorded during the three months ended December 31, 2013. As a result, during the nine months ended September 30, 2014, net loss decreased by $375, and net loss per share decreased by $0.01.

	Acquisitions
	In December 2013, the Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of Latista Technologies, Inc. ("Latista"). Latista is a leading provider of mobile-enabled, cloud-based field management solutions in the industry. The LATISTA solution expanded the Company’s suite of solutions, especially in the field management process. In addition, the Company formed Textura Vostok, a Russian entity, and hired personnel previously employed by a Russian affiliate of Latista. The aggregate purchase price of $34,875 was paid in cash.
	The total purchase price has been allocated as follows:
		Amount
		(in thousands)
	Identifiable intangible assets	$	8,700
	Goodwill	28,911
	Deferred revenue	(2,151		)
	Other current assets (liabilities), net	(585		)
	Net assets acquired	$	34,875
	Other current assets (liabilities), net in the table above include Latista-related net deferred tax liabilities of $1,083. The deferred tax assets and liabilities primarily relate to timing differences in the amortization of intangible assets and net operating losses. As a result of the nature of the net deferred tax liabilities, the Company reduced the valuation allowance on its deferred tax assets and recognized a tax benefit of $1,083 in its statement of operations during the three months ended December 31, 2013. Due to the Company’s full valuation position, deferred tax assets and liabilities are not recorded.
	As the acquisition of Latista occurred in the quarter ended December 31, 2013, its results have been included in the condensed consolidated statement of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014. The Latista acquisition, including Textura Vostok, contributed net revenue of $795 and $2,172, respectively, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014. The impact of Latista, including Textura Vostok, included in the consolidated results was a net loss of $1,480 and $4,571 and net loss per share of $0.06 and $0.18, respectively, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014.
	The following table contains unaudited pro forma consolidated statements of operations information assuming the acquisition of Latista occurred on October 1, 2012 and includes adjustments for amortization of intangible assets and interest expense. This pro forma information is presented for illustrative purposes only and is not indicative of what actual results would have been if the acquisition of Latista had taken place on October 1, 2012, or of future results.

Share-Based Compensation to Employees	'
	Share‑Based Compensation
	During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, the Company granted under the Textura Corporation Long-Term Incentive Plan (the "LTIP") stock options to purchase 88 shares of the Company's common stock with a weighted-average exercise price and weighted-average fair value of $20.60 and $8.35, respectively. The fair value of the options was estimated using the Black‑Scholes option‑pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions:
		2014
	Expected dividend yield	—
	Expected volatility	41	%
	Risk-free interest rate	1.82	%
	Expected term (years)	5.61
	Under the Textura Corporation 2008 Stock Incentive Plan (the "2008 Plan"), the Company granted restricted stock units to eligible employees and directors. The stated vesting of these grants generally ranged from immediate to three years, but the restricted stock units only became payable to employees in cash or shares of the Company's common stock if there was a change in control of the Company or termination of the agreements in connection with an initial public offering. As the Company had determined that neither of these events was probable in any period prior to the IPO, the Company had not recognized any share-based compensation expense related to the restricted stock units prior to June 12, 2013. In connection with the IPO, all outstanding 623 restricted stock units were terminated in accordance with their terms and became payable one year following the IPO, and the Company recorded share-based compensation expense equal to the fair value of the 623 restricted stock units of $9,351 during the three months ended June 30, 2013. During June 2014, in connection with the payment of these restricted stock units, the Company delivered 476 shares of common stock and withheld 147 shares of common stock to satisfy tax withholding obligations. Under the LTIP, the Company granted 73 restricted stock units during the three months ended June 30, 2013. During June 2014, in connection with the payment of these restricted stock units, 50 shares of common stock became payable and were withheld to satisfy tax withholding obligations. A total of 197 shares of common stock were withheld to satisfy tax withholding obligations in the three months ended June 30, 2014 and were valued at $4,096. They were recorded in stockholders' equity as treasury stock.
	The Textura Corporation Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the ‘‘ESPP”), is intended to qualify as an "employee stock purchase plan" under Section 423 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. Employees of the Company whose customary employment is more than 20 hours per week are eligible to contribute up to 10% percent of their base salary, subject to certain limitations, over the course of six-month offering periods for the purchase of shares of common stock. The purchase price for shares of common stock purchased under the ESPP is equal to 85% of the fair market value of a share of common stock at the beginning or end of the applicable six-month offering period, whichever is lower. On April 1, 2014, the Company commenced employee participation in the ESPP. The stock-based compensation expense recognized in connection with the ESPP for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 was $8 and $18, respectively. In connection with the six-month offering period ended September 30, 2014, the Company issued 3 shares for total proceeds of $67.
	In September 2014, two co-founders of the Company retired from full-time employment with the Company and entered into consulting arrangements to provide certain transition services to the Company beginning in October 2014. Pursuant to the severance arrangements provided in their respective employment agreements, all unvested stock options held by such former employees became exercisable upon the termination of their respective employment with the Company and the exercise period for outstanding stock options was one to four years. Because the respective employment agreements provided for the accelerated vesting of such options, there was no additional expense recorded other than the acceleration of the share-based compensation for the awards that vested upon their terminations. Accordingly, the Company recognized $865 in share-based compensation expense in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 related to the acceleration of vesting of these stock options. (See Note 11 for further details on the related severance arrangements.)
	Pursuant to the consulting arrangements with the Company referenced above, in October 2014, the former employees were collectively granted stock options to purchase 33 shares of the Company's common stock. Such stock options vest over a period between six and twelve months, and the Company will recognize the expense for these non-employee options as they vest. Since they are non-employee stock awards, the Company will recognize the expense based on the fair value of the awards at the end of each reporting period beginning in the quarter ending on December 31, 2014.
	Share-based compensation expense for employee equity awards was $2,638 and $6,405, respectively, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 and $1,401 and $11,968, respectively, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013.

	Convertible debentures
	In 2011, the Company issued convertible debentures with detachable warrants (see Note 7). The convertible debentures had a stated interest rate of 8.0% per annum on the outstanding principal balance. The interest on the convertible debentures was payable in kind (“PIK”) and added to the unpaid principal in order to determine the number of shares of common stock to be issued upon conversion.
	On December 31, 2012, certain holders of the convertible debentures elected to convert their debentures to common stock. The outstanding principal and PIK interest for these holders at December 31, 2012 was $12,392, which converted into 826 shares of common stock. The unamortized debt discount for these debentures was recorded as interest expense on the conversion date. Total interest expense recognized related to the convertible debentures was $1,934 for the three months ended December 31, 2012.
	On June 12, 2013, in connection with the completion of the IPO, the outstanding principal of the convertible debentures of $5,865 and PIK interest of $778 automatically converted into 443 shares of the Company's common stock, based upon the IPO price of $15.00 per share. The unamortized debt discount for these debentures of $863 was recorded as interest expense on the conversion date.
	Series A-1 and A-2 preferred stock
	The outstanding shares of the Company's Series A-1 and A-2 preferred stock automatically converted into 5,336 shares of common stock at a conversion rate of 1:2.84 and the cumulative unpaid dividends were satisfied by the issuance of 412 additional shares of common stock through an adjustment to the conversion rate in connection with the completion of the IPO.
	Submittal Exchange Class A preferred units
	The former shareholders of Submittal Exchange received Class A preferred units of Submittal Exchange Holdings at acquisition, which were reflected as non-controlling interest in the condensed consolidated financial statements in the three months ended December 31, 2012.

	In September 2014, two co-founders retired from full-time employment with the Company, and two other non-executive members of management were terminated from the Company. Pursuant to the severance arrangements provided in their respective employment and separation agreements, we recognized severance-related expenses of approximately $1,488 during the three months ended September 30, 2014. This severance expense includes salary, payroll taxes and bonus payments to which the former employees were entitled under their respective arrangements. We expect to pay the severance expense, of which $1,460 was accrued as of September 30, 2014, over the next twelve months.
	In connection with the retirement of the two co-founders, and under the terms of their employment agreements, all unvested stock options became exercisable. As such, we recognized share-based compensation expense of $865 in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 related to the acceleration of vesting of these stock options. In addition, these former employees entered into consulting arrangements to provide certain transition services to the Company beginning in October 2014 and were granted stock options to purchase 33 shares of the Company’s common stock in connection with such arrangements.

	These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (‘‘U.S. GAAP’’). In accordance with U.S. GAAP requirements for interim financial statements, these condensed consolidated financial statements do not include certain information and note disclosures that are normally included in annual financial statements prepared in conformity with U.S. GAAP. Accordingly, these condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto as of September 30, 2013 and 2012 and for each of the three years in the period ended September 30, 2013 included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K filed on November 26, 2013 and with the condensed consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto as of and for the three months ended December 31, 2013 included in the Company's Transition Report on Form 10-Q filed on May 9, 2014. In the Company’s opinion, the condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (which are of a normal, recurring nature) necessary to present fairly, in all material respects, the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. Interim results may not be indicative of results that may be realized for the full year.
	In October 2012, the Company and Minter Ellison, a law firm in Australia, formed a joint venture, Textura Australasia, Pty. Ltd. (the “Joint Venture”), to offer the Company’s construction collaboration software solutions to the Australia and New Zealand markets. Both parties had contributed cash of $400, denominated in Australian dollars, for their respective 50% interests in the Joint Venture, and both parties had loaned the Joint Venture $100, denominated in Australian dollars, to fund its ongoing operations. The Company had consolidated the financial results of the Joint Venture because the Company had determined that the Joint Venture was a variable interest entity and that it was the primary beneficiary. The Company was the primary beneficiary of the Joint Venture due to its controlling financial interest through its authority with regard to hiring key employees and decision making of its central operations. Due to certain redemption provisions in the joint venture agreement, the Company had reflected Minter Ellison’s financial interest as redeemable non-controlling interest in the condensed consolidated balance sheet at its redemption value. On June 30, 2014, the Company purchased Minter Ellison’s interest in the Joint Venture for cash consideration of $1,743; including an equity buyout of $1,563, repayment of Minter Ellison's loan of $100 to the Joint Venture, denominated in Australian dollars, and the payment of all outstanding payables owed by the Joint Venture to Minter Ellison, resulting in Textura's 100% ownership of Textura Australasia, Pty. Ltd. The equity buyout and the payoff of the Minter Ellison loan were accounted for as financing activities in the cash flow statement and reflected within additional paid-in capital on our balance sheet. The payment of outstanding payables owed to Minter Ellison was reflected within operating activities in the cash flow statement.

Use of Estimates	'
	Use of Estimates
	The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The estimates and assumptions used in the accompanying financial statements are based upon management’s evaluation of the relevant facts and circumstances at the balance sheet date. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates are involved in the Company’s revenue recognition, depreciation, amortization and assumptions for share‑based payments.
Revenue Recognition	'
	Revenue Recognition
	For the Company’s CPM, Submittal Exchange and Greengrade solutions, the Company earns revenue from owners/developers, general contractors and architects in the form of monthly fees, project fees and subscription fees; and from subcontractors in the form of usage fees. For the Company’s GradeBeam, PQM and BidOrganizer solutions, the Company earns revenue in the form of subscription fees. For the LATISTA solution, which was acquired by the Company in December 2013 (see Note 3), the Company earns revenue from subscription fees and related professional services. The Company’s arrangements do not contain general rights of return and do not provide customers with the right to take possession of the software supporting the solutions and, as a result, are accounted for as service contracts.
	The Company’s on-demand solutions often include implementation, training and support. The Company evaluates whether the individual deliverables in its arrangements qualify as separate units of accounting. In order to treat deliverables in a multiple deliverable arrangement as separate units of accounting, the deliverables must have standalone value upon delivery. In determining whether deliverables have standalone value, the Company considers whether solutions are sold to new customers without implementation, training and support, the nature of these services provided and the availability of these services from other vendors. The Company concluded that implementation, training and support do not have standalone value because for the majority of its solutions, they are never sold separately, do not have value to the customer without the solution and are not available from other vendors. Accordingly, the total consideration for each arrangement is generally treated as a single unit of accounting.
	The Company recognizes this revenue when there is evidence that an agreement exists with the customer and the customer has begun deriving benefit from use of the solution, the fee is fixed and determinable, delivery of services has occurred, and collection of payment from the project participant is reasonably assured. The Company recognizes project fees and usage fees ratably over the average estimated life of the project and contract, respectively, and recognizes subscription fees over the subscription period. The average estimated life of the project and contract is estimated by management based on periodic review and analysis of historical data. The applicable estimated life is based on the project or contract value falling within certain predetermined ranges, as well as the solution on which the project is being managed. The Company performs periodic reviews of actual project and contract data and revises estimates as necessary. Estimated project life durations range from 6 to 29 months, and estimated contract life durations range from 4 to 18 months. Subscription periods typically range from 6 to 36 months.
	For its PlanSwift solution, the Company earns revenue from the sale of software licenses and related maintenance and training. License revenue is recognized upon delivery of the license, maintenance revenue is recognized ratably over the period of the maintenance contract, which is generally one year, and training revenue is recognized when the services are delivered to the client. For multiple-element arrangements that include a perpetual license for which the Company has not established vendor-specific objective evidence of fair value ("VSOE") and either maintenance or both maintenance and training, the Company uses the residual method to determine the amount of license revenue to be recognized. Under the residual method, consideration is allocated to the undelivered elements based upon VSOE of those elements with the residual of the arrangement fee allocated to and recognized as license revenue. For multiple-element arrangements that include a perpetual license for which the Company has established VSOE and either maintenance or both maintenance and training, the Company allocates the revenue among the different elements of the arrangement based on each element's relative VSOE. For subscription-based licenses, which include maintenance, the Company recognizes the subscription fees ratably over the subscription periods, which typically range from 1 to 6 months.
	The Company has established VSOE based on its historical pricing and discounting practices for maintenance, training and certain software licenses when sold separately. In establishing VSOE, the Company requires that a substantial majority of the selling prices for these services fall within a reasonably narrow pricing range. The application of VSOE methodologies requires judgment, including the identification of individual elements in multiple element arrangements and whether there is VSOE of fair value for some or all elements.
Goodwill and Intangible Assets, Goodwill, Policy [Policy Text Block]	'
	Goodwill
	Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price of an acquired business over the fair value of the net assets acquired and is not amortized. Goodwill is subject to impairment testing at least annually, unless it is determined after a qualitative assessment that it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is greater than its carrying amount. On an annual basis, or in interim periods if indicators of potential impairment exist, goodwill is measured for impairment. The Company tests goodwill for impairment at a single reporting unit level and it has not reported any goodwill impairments to date.
	The Company evaluated both qualitative and quantitative characteristics in determining its reporting units. Based on this evaluation, it determined that it has one reporting unit. The Company's management team reviews historical profit and loss information and metrics on a consolidated basis. The Company believes that goodwill is recoverable from the overall operations given the economies of scale and leveraging capabilities of the various components.
	The Company conducts its annual test for goodwill impairment in the third calendar quarter. In the quarter ended September 30, 2014, the Company performed a qualitative assessment to determine whether it was more likely than not that the fair value of goodwill was less than its carrying amount. After consideration of market capitalization, the health and growth of our business and overall macroeconomic factors, the Company determined that it was more likely than not that the fair value of goodwill exceeded its carrying amount and further analysis was not necessary.
Foreign Currency Transactions	'
	Foreign Currency Transactions
	The functional currency of the Company is the United States Dollar. Asset and liability balances denominated in a foreign currency are remeasured to U.S. dollars at end-of-period exchange rates. Foreign currency income and expenses are remeasured at average exchange rates in effect during the period. Foreign currency translation differences have not been material to date and have been included in the statement of operations as incurred through March 31, 2013. Beginning in the quarter ended June 30, 2013, the Company recorded foreign currency translation differences in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss).
Net Loss Per Share	'
	Net Loss Per Share
	Basic net loss per share available to Textura Corporation common stockholders is calculated by dividing the net loss available to Textura Corporation common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding, less any treasury shares, during the period.
	Prior to the completion of the Company's initial public offering in June 2013 (the ‘‘IPO’’), in calculating net loss available to common stockholders, cumulative undeclared preferred stock dividends on the Series A-2 preferred stock and accretion in the redemption value of the redeemable Series A-1 preferred stock and redeemable non-controlling interest were deducted from net loss attributable to Textura Corporation stockholders. Although the redeemable Series A-1 preferred stock, Series A-2 preferred stock, and non-controlling interest were participating securities, there was no allocation of the Company’s net losses to these participating securities under the two-class method because they were not contractually required to share in the Company’s losses. Subsequent to the IPO, which resulted in the automatic conversion of the outstanding preferred stock into common stock, the Company only deducts the redeemable non-controlling interest accretion from net loss attributable to Textura Corporation stockholders.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards	'
	Recently Issued Accounting Standards
	In August 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-15 (‘‘ASU 2014-15’’), “Disclosure of Uncertainties About an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern.’’ Under the new guidance, management will be required to assess an entity's ability to continue as a going concern, and to provide related footnote disclosures in certain circumstances. The provisions of ASU 2014-15 are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and for annual and interim periods thereafter.
	In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-09 (‘‘ASU 2014-09’’), “Revenue from Contracts with Customers.” ASU 2014-09 supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in “Revenue Recognition (Topic 605)”, and requires entities to recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. ASU 2014-09 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within that reporting period. Early adoption is not permitted. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2014-09 on its consolidated financial statements.

	Share‑Based Compensation
	During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, the Company granted under the Textura Corporation Long-Term Incentive Plan (the "LTIP") stock options to purchase 88 shares of the Company's common stock with a weighted-average exercise price and weighted-average fair value of $20.60 and $8.35, respectively. The fair value of the options was estimated using the Black‑Scholes option‑pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions:
		2014
	Expected dividend yield	—
	Expected volatility	41	%
	Risk-free interest rate	1.82	%
	Expected term (years)	5.61
	Under the Textura Corporation 2008 Stock Incentive Plan (the "2008 Plan"), the Company granted restricted stock units to eligible employees and directors. The stated vesting of these grants generally ranged from immediate to three years, but the restricted stock units only became payable to employees in cash or shares of the Company's common stock if there was a change in control of the Company or termination of the agreements in connection with an initial public offering. As the Company had determined that neither of these events was probable in any period prior to the IPO, the Company had not recognized any share-based compensation expense related to the restricted stock units prior to June 12, 2013. In connection with the IPO, all outstanding 623 restricted stock units were terminated in accordance with their terms and became payable one year following the IPO, and the Company recorded share-based compensation expense equal to the fair value of the 623 restricted stock units of $9,351 during the three months ended June 30, 2013. During June 2014, in connection with the payment of these restricted stock units, the Company delivered 476 shares of common stock and withheld 147 shares of common stock to satisfy tax withholding obligations. Under the LTIP, the Company granted 73 restricted stock units during the three months ended June 30, 2013. During June 2014, in connection with the payment of these restricted stock units, 50 shares of common stock became payable and were withheld to satisfy tax withholding obligations. A total of 197 shares of common stock were withheld to satisfy tax withholding obligations in the three months ended June 30, 2014 and were valued at $4,096. They were recorded in stockholders' equity as treasury stock.
	The Textura Corporation Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the ‘‘ESPP”), is intended to qualify as an "employee stock purchase plan" under Section 423 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. Employees of the Company whose customary employment is more than 20 hours per week are eligible to contribute up to 10% percent of their base salary, subject to certain limitations, over the course of six-month offering periods for the purchase of shares of common stock. The purchase price for shares of common stock purchased under the ESPP is equal to 85% of the fair market value of a share of common stock at the beginning or end of the applicable six-month offering period, whichever is lower. On April 1, 2014, the Company commenced employee participation in the ESPP. The stock-based compensation expense recognized in connection with the ESPP for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 was $8 and $18, respectively. In connection with the six-month offering period ended September 30, 2014, the Company issued 3 shares for total proceeds of $67.
	In September 2014, two co-founders of the Company retired from full-time employment with the Company and entered into consulting arrangements to provide certain transition services to the Company beginning in October 2014. Pursuant to the severance arrangements provided in their respective employment agreements, all unvested stock options held by such former employees became exercisable upon the termination of their respective employment with the Company and the exercise period for outstanding stock options was one to four years. Because the respective employment agreements provided for the accelerated vesting of such options, there was no additional expense recorded other than the acceleration of the share-based compensation for the awards that vested upon their terminations. Accordingly, the Company recognized $865 in share-based compensation expense in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 related to the acceleration of vesting of these stock options. (See Note 11 for further details on the related severance arrangements.)
	Pursuant to the consulting arrangements with the Company referenced above, in October 2014, the former employees were collectively granted stock options to purchase 33 shares of the Company's common stock. Such stock options vest over a period between six and twelve months, and the Company will recognize the expense for these non-employee options as they vest. Since they are non-employee stock awards, the Company will recognize the expense based on the fair value of the awards at the end of each reporting period beginning in the quarter ending on December 31, 2014.
	Share-based compensation expense for employee equity awards was $2,638 and $6,405, respectively, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 and $1,401 and $11,968, respectively, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013. Share-based compensation expense is reflected in the following captions in the condensed consolidated statements of operations:
