Buildxact Reviews

Easy to use in any device like laptop and mobile. User friendly software. Easy to install and have good support. We have backup for secured data.

Works with internet. Don't have windows based application.

Management of building Construction. We can demo all our plans in one place also we can add extra features If that is required for customer.

The receipe feature allows us to establish baseline costs to the business of a product (say m2 of concrete @ 150mm), then tweak margin separately, either directly to the item, section of the quote or overall project. Very flexible.

I don't like that you can't do a curved lm (linear meter) takeoff. This has to be. done as a series of straight lines and can get crowded in the takeoff. Also, dont like that once you have send out an RFQ for an item it essentailly locks this item to further manipulation (e.g if you wanted to add install etc to a suppliers quote).

complete quoting package.

Quoting and take offs are easy, even changing a quote when a client decides to add or change an item. Easy in just a couple of clicks. Inputing actual costings against quoted items is quick an easy to help track financials against our jobs.

Easy to check jobs costings and quotes while on site, variations can be done while in front of the client and sent straight away saving time and any confusion.

Loads of features which are all very helpful.

Havent really found any downsides, we have been using the system for about 2 years now and couldnt run without it now.

Our Company has been using Buildxact for a couple of years. At first it was only used as a quoting program, with its advanced take off feature it made quoting more efficient. We are now utilising the job part more effectively with the amaizng help from all the buildxact staff, any questions or queries they are happy to help, with free sessions to ensure we are understanding the program. We are able to track all costs for all jobs and link our labours hours via deputy so nothing will get missed.

Another great feature is the site diary, this enables communication between all employees. This is done daily with the Buildxact Onsite App.

Buildxact has made day to day duties much easier, wouldn't know where we'd be without it.

As the program continues to upgrade there can be a few hick ups, the app can have a few glitches but it's understandable.

I like the fact that the software is evolving and that suggestions on how to improve the app are taken on board and incorporated into the system. The system is relatively easy to use and adaptable to your existing systems.

The subscription fee is a little high but thats all.

Putting most of the information in one place.

The ability to manage projects from estimating to contracts and invoices all in the one place. Creating a database of items and recipes as well as the number of business' that will import their own pricing to create accurate price lists.

Small issues that typically arise with more complex measures. A common problem I'm having at the moment is not being able to measure off the previously scaled plans inside of a recipe. Typically every issue that arises is patched or addresssed very quickly.

Buildxact has made our quotes and tender submissions look much more proffessional, and allowed us to track projects from estimating through to contracts admin. This has streamilined the procurement process and allowed us to further assist our PM's and Site Managers.

User-Friendly Interface: Buildxact is known for its intuitive and easy-to-navigate interface, making it accessible even for users with limited technical skills.

Steep Learning Curve

Customization Limitations

Limited Integration:

The continual improvement of the product and ease of use.

Perhaps the ability for Buildxact to recognice symbols (such as in electrical plans)

The program is easy to use to do quantities and scaling. It makes quoting much more streamlined.
