Get out of the office and on the job
with Buildxact general contractor software
General contractors need more than one or two key features. They need comprehensive construction management software. Buildxact offers a complete set of software tools uniquely designed for custom home construction projects. Do digital takeoffs and build accurate bids by connecting to dealers via digital RFQs—all from one project management software platform.
Improved budget management
Estimated construction project tasks flow directly to budget categories that show actual costs for better financial management. Connect with Xero or Quickbooks to track job costs through your entire construction business.
More efficient project management
Home construction projects flow smoothly when lead management, job costing, scheduling and budget tracking all take place in the same easy-to-follow construction management software environment.
Online client portal communication
Lost emails and unreturned phone calls are a thing of the past when construction pros communicate project progress with pictures and text within Buildxact’s customer relationship management features. The Buildxact customer portal allows for online document management, digital quotes and customer approvals.
