It is ideal for users that need a fast, effective way to bid heavy highway, environmental, bridges, site work and civil projects, and for both state and private commercial work. Estimating Link uses three main components that operate together to simplify the flow and process for developing winning proposals. Store and reuse estimates, items, rates, crews, assemblies, templates, catalogs, vendors, customers, etc. Re-use task data from job to job and scale it. Quantities adjust and labor and equipment costs will automatically scale to the amount of time needed. Small jobs can be quickly pulled together without any special setup processes. You can easily use bid items from previous jobs and print the proposal. You can manually enter bid prices without the need to perform any cost workups at all. You can literally bid a small job in a matter of minutes.

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.
