AUSTIN, TEXAS\u2014October 4, 2024<\/span><\/b>\u2014<\/span>Buildxact,<\/span><\/a> a global Software-as-a-Service company that provides a simple solution for dealers, residential builders and remodelers to better manage and grow their business, announced today the launch of their exclusive AI Estimator Calculator.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

The first-of-its-kind, <\/span>The Buildxact AI Estimator Calculator<\/span><\/a> is designed specifically for residential building and remodeling pros, empowering them to quickly build out project requirements and price those requirements using live material pricing from The Home Depot\u2019s catalogs.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Named The Best Overall Construction Estimating Software of 2024 by <\/span>Forbes<\/span><\/a> and <\/span>U.S. News<\/span><\/a>, Buildxact has now implemented AI to further simplify the estimating process for building pros — allowing users to describe their project and associated units of measure (UOM) in everyday language and terminology to quickly generate an initial estimate in 30-seconds with all relevant, localized Home Depot material quantities, pricing & SKUs.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Buildxact\u2019s AI Estimator addresses two core pain points for builders:<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

  1. Users can create assemblies based on simple inputs, essentially solving the issue of \u201cI don\u2019t know what I don\u2019t know.\u201d This feature helps prevent common assembly mistakes, such as quoting for a door install but forgetting about the door stop, which affects job profitability.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/li>
  2. Users can convert UOM. In one click, a builder can figure out how many square feet or linear feet they need of a certain supply, including the quantity of that material and the total cost. <\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/li><\/ol>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

    The AI Estimator Calculator also provides users with notes on how calculations are made. Adjustments can be made through AI prompts and suggestions provided by Buildxact or the builder can do it on their own, without AI assistance.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

    \u201cAt Buildxact, we\u2019ve made construction estimating quick and simple for builders, and now we\u2019ve made it easier for builders to work seamlessly with AI,\u201d Steve Yates, Buildxact CEO, said. \u201cWith Buildxact, setup time is now lower than ever, so our builders can bid and win more work using the most accurate pricing from The Home Depot.\u201d<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

    Home Depot pricing within Buildxact is updated at the click of a button. Builders can be confident that they have the most accurate pricing as prices are based on relevant market conditions when users select their local Home Depot pricing catalog.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

    \u201cPricing is a critical element of every estimate, and now Buildxact makes it easy to get the most accurate pricing from one of the most reliable and trusted material dealers in the U.S.,\u201d said Yates.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>
