Buildxact Reviews

.Having a fully customisable template with direct supplier integration makes estimating far more versatile than the old spreadsheet method

The customisation for quote outputs is somewhat limited, there is a code option but a simplified, highly customisable design dashboard seems like a much better way forward than the current system

Keeping all quotes in the one place and making takeoffs much faster

The layout and how it flows work well for me.

The mobile phone version is a bit tricky, although I wouldnt want to risk pricing or quoting on a phone.

Templates and the ability to quote quickly.

I like the system’s estimating functions. The setup process is intuitive, and the AI helps speed up tasks as well. Another thing I enjoy is the way Buildxact presents quotes, along with the ability to modify them so I can change what the client sees.

I would like it more if the scheduling side of tyhe software were a bit more user friendly. specifically i want to be able to view in full screen, zoom in and out more effectively, and see the timeline of every project on the same screen, and where potential overlaps are.

Buildxact has taken our average estimate time on a new build from 6 hours to about 15 minutes.

The best things i like about Builodxact are:

-The fast digital takeoffs and estimating that cut quoting time dramatically, -Live supplier price lists keeping numbers accurate.

-It runs the whole workflow — leads, quotes, schedules, POs, invoices . ----The Xero integration is excellent

-Reusable estimate templates suits my modular products pod, and live cost-vs-estimate tracking improves future quotes.

It is easy to use. Coming from a trade back groud with limited computer skills, the transition has been really easy.

Some of the features feel a bit limited when it comes to how much you can customise them.

Now that I’ve spent some time setting up price lists and recipes, it’s saving me hours. I can use that time to refine my quotes and make them extremely thorough.

.Buildxact is a great estimating and quote generation program, whilst it does have some limits with financial tracking and site programs etc its strengths lie in estimating and quotes

buildxact is not all inclusive for onsite works, whilst linking to safety programs and whilst being able to send out for quoting etc , often what is seen at other users scene doesnt look as good as it could when sent through buildxact

buildxact is speeding up the programs with use of auto scaling etc, the downside is that over the recent months ive noticed the program is slowing down and often buffers

I find it easy to use. The accounting part links easily across to Xero. It also makes my quotes easier to prepare for potential clients, and the quote layout looks professional helping me secure more work. It’s good value for money. The overall performance is well above my expectations. They have good backup support and they have the added bonus of the AI as well.

I don't believe I have any dislikes with buildxact.

Faster quoting

I appreciate Buildxact for its time efficiency and how it simplifies tasks like quoting. The great templates make this process easier. I like that everything I need is in one software. Additionally, I value the takeoff tools that help with getting accurate pricing. The initial setup was very easy, which is a big plus.

Maybe a section where you could have all jobs on the one schedule - so you can see a bigger picture if you are running multiple projects at once

I find Buildxact simplifies and is time efficient for quoting with great templates, and everything is in one software. I like the take-off tools for accurate pricing.

Buildxact takes me from the quote stage wight through to the last invoice.

The only thing i kind of dislike about Buildxact is that it is always guessing what i want to type and sometimes it enters in by my mistake.

Buildxact is timesaving which is money saving and everything is all in the one program.

All the tools I need to run the day to day activities of my business at a price point that enabled us to onboard the platform from the opening of our business which gave us a professional platform to output consistent polished deliverables and manage all our data from estimates through the project completion. Very easy to implement, intuitive interface that even the non-computer leaning folks can use it.

The software is geared toward residential contractors - a version for subcontractors would be awesome.

Having the workflow from estimating to project start and through the end of the project is essential. Too many companies use multiplatform tools that are easy to make mistakes and look different depending on who is sending them. Buildxact gives us a system to run our entire project within one platform creating profession estimates, invoices, work orders, purchase orders, and everything in between.
