We can produce extremely professional quotes now which include all the products we have allowed for so the clients and my team know exactly what they are getting > > **Cons**: Integration with building suppliers in NZ isn't available yet but I believe this will come in due time. The client portal is quite cumbersome and I don't like the fact that we don't have control over this once it's set up. Manual inputting of supplier invoices can take some time The scheduling tool can be a bit of a pain to use and doesn't look very nice, an upgrade to this would be great > > It has been a great product to help our company grow and is continually evolving and improving, the customer support is excellent. It was a little learning curve at the being but is definitely a case of short term pain for long term gain ----- ### "Bx" — 3.0/5 > **Gary** | *April 5, 2022* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 4.0/10 > > **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. ----- ### "Buildxact Review" — 5.0/5 > **Craig** | *October 29, 2021* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Buildxact is a simple but powerful estimating and job management tool. It has basic CRM functionality that enables the management of leads within the program. The ease take off tool is simple and when combined with the recipes makes the complex quite easy. Building recipes is easy to do and the supplied videos quide you through the process. The other huge time saver is the integration of the software with supplier catalogues. I don't spend anywhere near as much time manually entering items and prices and they are now always up to date. > > **Cons**: There is nothing really diffcult withe the program. If they could improve one thing it is the ability to truly customise the quote cover in a simple manner. The advanced editing feature is a little too complex and even with the help of one of the trainers we couldn't get it to jump through the hoops we wanted. The cover still looks a million bucks - I would just like to tweak it a little more than the system allows. > > Two thumbs up\! It has significantly increased my productivity through decreasing the estimation and job management process. I spend less time in the office and more time on the tools and having a clod beer after a hard day\! ----- ### "Flexible product for Flexible Builders" — 5.0/5 > **Lacey** | *May 29, 2023* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **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. > > 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. ----- Page: 1 / 8\ Next: [Next page](https://www.getapp.ca/software/114407/buildxact?page=2) ## Links - [View on GetApp](https://www.getapp.ca/software/114407/buildxact) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-MX | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | ----- ## Structured Data
