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

BuildertrendReasons for Choosing 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.Reasons for Switching to Buildxact

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.

My experience with BuildXact has definitely been positive. It has streamlined and simplified our quoting and cost planning processes.
Pros
I find the estimating features to be easy to use and effective in generating accurate project estimates / quotations.
Leading on to 'Job' stage the historical data and cost plan is essential for reviewing and maintaining project cost controls.
The Variation portal is also very beneficial with submitting and tracking any changes as the project progresses
Cons
I dont find the Accounting Software integration to be beneficial as the communication between Xero and Build Xact is not 2-way.
