Accurate estimates begin with accurate building plans, measurements and material counts. Use Blu to nail all the details right, the first time. Name plan pages, scale dimensions, measure and count using Blu to work quickly and accurately.
Blu auto names and scales plan pages so you get right to work. With AI and other Buildxact features, you cut the time to measure and count materials by 65%.
Buildxact saves time from the get-go. Reuse measurements across different materials or labour costs to quickly create estimates that win more work.
Blu: Takeoff Assistant works out different floor area measurements for rooms automatically. Blu works at your direction with point-and-click tools for manual edits.
Access your digital plans from the office or the job site. Buildxact is a cloud based solution that makes manual data entry, bulky paper files and lost documents a thing of the past.
Blu is part of your team. Describe projects in your own words to kick start an estimate that has all the tasks and details you need to quote your project.
Start from a simple project description or use a ready-to-go template to produce complete, professional proposals with detailed line items.
Blu stays under your supervision so AI works with you and not against you to estimate more accurately.
Blu is more accurate because it is powered by labour and material pricing based on the location of your project.
Blu pays for itself when you generate project invoices and budgets from the same line items and categories used to create estimates.
Blu has your back. Don’t miss or overlook a thing when Blu checks your estimate for errors and even offers tips for building code compliance and insurance coverage.
With Blu: Estimate Reviewer, you won’t forget a thing. Your estimates cover administrative work, markup, site cleanup and everything else you need.
Because your estimate has indirect costs, overhead and markup, you ensure your business benefits from every home construction or renovation project.
Generate more predictable earnings using AI assistance based on Buildxact’s industry leading database of global residential construction projects.
AI scales your judgment and experience. Buildxact Blu is your copilot. The destination is up to you.
