Hear from our customers
“Since using Buildxact’s estimating and job management software, I can produce estimates and quotes much faster and this ultimately helps me win more work."
“All documents for every project are in one location and there’s great integration of information between myself, from an estimating point-of-view, to a project manager on site. My quoting time for projects has dramatically reduced, and the fact that we’re sending out purchase orders now for everything is great.”
"A takeoff for a build, could take two, three days...up to a week. With Buildxact, I’m down to under a day to get all my takeoffs done and ready to quote, and also ready to order when the job comes through."
“When I create a purchase order with Buildxact, I just click on each item and I send it off to my supplier. My orders arrive onsite. I don't have to have files and papers everywhere. It's easy!”
“I’m a busy mum. I run a very busy household and a very busy business. Using Buildxact has basically allowed us to work less hours on quotes."
