Best band for you buck

Buildxact was exactly what I needed to run my business at a professional level without forking out tons of cash for features I don't need. Their team works to help you get exactly what you need out of the software. I highly recommend this to anyone from residential to high end commercial contractors of all trades.

PROS

Easy to setup and start using from day one regardless of your skill level. Intuitive setup and all the features one needs to professionally quote and manage a construction project. Lots of built in tools to help those just starting and tons of customization options to mold the platform to work with your specific business.

CONS

Time card application and RFI/submittal tracking would elevate this product beyond all others in the market.

Reason for choosing Buildxact

Cost verses features included

Reasons for switching to Buildxact

Too complex and hard to navigate. Too expensive.

Vendor Response

Thanks for the really positive review Jordan!

My Buildxact review

Estimate writing is much easier, and more reliable than previously done. I just tried another software package for 6 weeks. Had thought of making the change on based on monthly Pricing. What I have here may be a bit more per month, but the overall savings on time, reliability, presentation organization, is worth much more.

PROS

The ease of Authoring the Quote. Being able to create and add Categories and line items keeps the quotes organized and easy to review. I like my quotes to be presented chronologically as the work will be progressed. The ability to Move categories, and or individual items is great. And simple as this sounds, being able to insert a line where ever I want, is priceless.

CONS

I have only used this software for the writing of quotes. After 1.5 years of use, the only shortfall I have is to be able to total out individual items throughout the quote such as labor, materials, equipment.

Reason for choosing Buildxact

The ability to organize the quote so that it presents better to the customer.

Reasons for switching to Buildxact

The formatting and functionality of writing quotes.

Thanks for such an awesome review Harold

Good Potential

Good potential but has transitioned from developing a good product to marketing the product to make money.

PROS

Good concept - does the fundamentals that are required for Custom Residential Building.

CONS

They rarely implement functional improvements. They are quick to 'expand' however they do not seem to be interested in improving the product - only increasing its marketability. Many new features are for show rather than function. A number of really practical design implementations have been suggested by users on their 'feedback' page however many of these have been sitting idle for years.

Vendor Response

Thanks for the feedback Justin.

Abroenet Constructions - BX review

It has been a great addition to my business with its integration to xero and deputy.

PROS

I love the estimating, the take off tool within the estimating section. Its easy to convert a quote to a project. It links to my suppliers pricing which means i should always have the most up to date pricing avaialble

CONS

Dont like that you pay per user, not just per account. Or have a residential package to suit up to 5 users say. The timeline scheduling, unless I'm not using correctly is difficult to edit and frustrating so i dont use it like i probably should. Love that it links to xero and Deputy

Reason for choosing Buildxact

Its linked to Dahlsen's, my main materials and hardware supplier

Reasons for switching to Buildxact

It didnt recognise our GST structure and it was really difficult to adjust. It also did have actual v budget option and the timezone meant any assistance for help calls or training sessions were at 6am or 10pm.

Vendor Response

Thanks for the great review Luke!
