Hear from our customers
“The biggest concern for me was estimating. How do we estimate and pull in pricing based on, at least a state? Before Buildxact I would use a spreadsheet and I’d have to go to The Home Depot and physically click on each item, pull all that information into a spreadsheet, hope I did it right and hope that it’s still the same price when we actually win the job a month later. Whereas Buildxact does all that real-time with it being accurate, so you’re a lot more confident in your bid to your customer.”
“One of the features that is just fantastic is real-time pricing with The Home Depot. That’s where we’re making most of our purchases. Before, we didn’t know necessarily that when we go to pick up lumber that it is priced where it was when we originally priced out the job.
“Home Depot live pricing allows me to keep my numbers accurate. It prevents me from quoting $4.99 for a 2x4 when the 2x4 when up to $6.99 overnight. It also allows me to refresh my estimates if I provided an estimate 30 days ago.”
“With quick quoting, I can create an assembly, like framing, where I can do a quick quote, and send it to The Home Depot into my Pro Xtra Account. They create a will-call for me, and I can send an intern out to just go pick it up, and we can just keep the job moving without me having to personally go and make the will call live.”
