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.

Flexible product for Flexible Builders

Costing is much easier with the takeoff system and purchase orders are simple to create. Everything is more streamlined and working out final costs is simple.

PROS

Buildxact is very flexible and adaptable to most types of building. Their support department is amazing and very prompt with replies. They are constantly updating and adding new features and listen to suggestions from their users.

CONS

There is a bit of setup involved, but one it's done, the end result is worth it.

Reason for choosing Buildxact

Buildxact is Australian based with Australian support and designed for Australian building and tax systems.

Reasons for switching to Buildxact

It was clunky and old with a windows 95 layout and many items needed importing, then exporting again to function.

Bx

PROS

The set out and ease of use is good. The take off allows for basic functions and calculations. Job control is good

CONS

Bx Has some annoying traits Take off is slow when a decent template is used. You have to go in and out of the take off for every item. The program basically shuts down by8:30 , 9pm and is useless. the email functions eg emailing Po's from the system are so unreliable that we don't use them. We save and email from outlook. The client portal is not very good and we are not using it. POs cant be ordered by supplier which is very annoying. Invoices get scrambled if you try to move the order.
