We can easily keep on-top of all variations, invoicing, and schedules - also keeping a track of job costs via purchase orders has been really beneficial.
Pros
Being able to upload all types of plans and the ease of measuring up complex projects.
Cons
The Variation forms would be much better if you could list/add 'Actual Cost' items after the variation has been made up. (if something was accidentally missed)
Being unable to export screen shots to show trades certain areas of what we have allowed etc.

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
Pros
It has systemised our quoting process, which speeds up our quote time, which leaves more time for project management and sales.
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

Bx
Reviewed on 4/5/2022
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.

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

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
