Pros from Real Users

Pros

  • i like the fact you can upload your building plans directly & scale them , measure walls or floors right on your screen to get quick, accurate material counts & then turn a won estimate into a live project calendar & build Gantt charts, generate purchase orders & work orders for your subcontractors
  • Integrates well with other programs. The Support is very good, I get answers within minutes. Well-rounded program, suits me well as a small builder.
  • I can track my jobs in live time, labor hours through the buildxact onsite app are easily tracked to labor costings
  • Extremely time saving, easy to use, basic but detailed enough for building. Great for sending off quotes to clients. Great for ordering with suppliers and for work orders for sub-contractors.
  • Buildxact is user friendly, does everything from quoting, job management, ordering, accounting to timesheets.
