Pros: What I like most about Buildxact is how it brings everything together in one place from estimating and job pricing to scheduling and operations. It makes managing projects feel streamlined instead of scattered. I also really like that I can link files and data across the different tools, which helps keep everything connected and easy to track without errors.
Cons: Buildxact customer support responds quickly to concerns and is always helpful when you need assistance, making it easier to resolve issues without delays.

Simple monthly payment, accurate up-to-date estimates, time saving tips. Perfect customer support too.
Pros: The recent update on real-time pricing data is perfect. Allows me to estimate with confidence. Great sync with project teams across multiple devices.
Cons: Reporting was a little taking longer. Thanks to the Buildxact's two-way accounting sync which allows for additional layers of reporting via my accounting systems.

Almost six years using Buildxact (across two different companies) and I have to say this is still the best value-for-money program, run by a great team who offer brilliant support and training. They are listening to the feedback and feature suggestions and constantly working to improve the product. There’s is a wealth of power and features that the average tired stressed and overworked builder might miss, so take a breath and invest an hour this week and see how it can save you two hours… or more.
Pros: It does its core function very very well. And over the years the product development team have ensured that all the additional features have enhanced and improved the user experience. They have fantastic customer service (a rare technical glitch last week was identified and resolved within 15mins - go team!) training and setup are fantastic, and easy to refresh your learning on a feature you haven’t used before or for a new team member.
Cons: Because its core is so well defined - and primarily aimed at the residential builder/sub trades market - larger, more complex projects can sometimes struggle to be accommodated to the most efficient means. But it still gets the job done. You just might need to be more creative in the way you use it. Advanced editing skills (coding) are required to make any real changes to the quote output - however AI has changed the lay-persons’ ability to access and control these features. Grab a coffee, log into your AI platform and see what you can accomplish. A fully customized quote template took me about 4hours and most of that was waiting on AI to generate the code.
Sharelle S. · Estimator · Construction · April 16, 2026
Saves time, reduces costs and improves accuracy. Clean and precise in estimating report. Unbeatable pricing too.
Pros: The easiest estimating and takeoff software on the market. Thanks to the elegant user interface, state-of-the-art features and inherent simplicity.
Cons: Go paperless! No more paper plans or expensive digitizer needed. Just exemplary features backed up by excellent support. No cons.
Elijah P. · Safety Manager · Construction · April 3, 2026
Buildxact has made estimating more efficient and structured. It reduces errors and saves time, especially for residential projects, though it may not be the best fit for very complex or large-scale estimating needs.
Pros: Buildxact makes it much easier to create accurate estimates without relying on multiple spreadsheets. The takeoff tools and cost tracking features help reduce manual effort and improve consistency across bids. It also allows me to generate professional quotes quickly, which helps in responding faster to clients.
Cons: It can feel restrictive when working on highly detailed or non standard estimates. Initial setup of cost data takes time, and occasional slowdowns happen with larger projects. The pricing may also be a bit high for smaller estimating teams.
Dario W. · Estimator · Information Technology and Services · April 2, 2026
Overall, I've had a great time with Buildxact. It helps you keep track of your projects, estimates and budgets, and makes them easier to deal with. The features are easy to understand, the platform feels safe, and there is always someone available to help with customer service. It has definitely helped me run my projects better.
Pros: I like how easy Buildxact makes it to plan and manage projects. The tools for figuring out costs, keeping track of budgets are great. It feels safe, is a great value for money, and the customer service is always helpful and quick to respond.
Cons: It can be a little annoying when making reports takes a few extra clicks and some small problems happen from time to time.
Sanket Y. · Project Manager · Information Technology and Services · March 31, 2026
Terrific customer service. I have however been asking to bring back the calander for some time now. Thanks
Pros: Connects with HazardCo and site/client app, user friendly estimation and management. Can look at plans through app onsite
Cons: No calander any more, need one that other staff can see for meetings and staff leave etc. PO’s could be better at adding additional lines without it creating new items in actual costing, and not hve to save exit, then add to existing order, if there is 20 different items to allocate to that one line
Mitch S. · Construction manager · Construction · March 29, 2026
It's been a great experience, i find it very useful, and if set up correctly, it can be a powerful tool
Pros: Its vercatility and ability to make advanced formilulas can automate the way you run your business. Setting this program up correctly with save you time and money
Cons: It doesnt have the ability to pre-set cost codes. Is it able to set this up through actual costings, but it would be nice to have a section in settings with cost codes
Jacob C. · Managing Director · Accounting · March 28, 2026
Buildxact has been great since we moved from our old estimating software. Less glitches and easy to use. It does have a few less features but its reliability and supplier integration makes it worthwhile.
Pros: It's easy to use and doesn't take long to teach new employees how to use it. It is also very reliable, I have only experienced 1 outage. The supplier integration is a key feature for us. Our Bunnings pricelist is hundreds of items and prices get updated automatically by our Bunnings representative.
Cons: Some features are limited. For example, a "send all" button would be handy to send all purchase orders at once. Or a mass edit function to add or delete items from multiple templates in one go.
Toby B. · Estimator and accounts officer · Construction · March 27, 2026
My overall experience has been very positive. I like the easy on which I could generate an estimate.
Pros: It's easy to use, and very professional estimates. I could do my markup without the customer seeing my percentages. Could copy one estimate to use for another customer.
Cons: Learning how to maneuver the program. Trying to remember the steps to achieve an estimate. Contacting support in a timely manner.
Jerome S. · Project manager · Construction · September 11, 2025
I real enjoy the system , plus the Work Buildxact keeps putting back into the program to improve it.
Pros: I like the easy of use, how it formulates letters. It looks professional when finished. The client portal is great , just need to put time into learning the system so you know how to use it. We are now using the time sheets also which lead straight into quotes.
Cons: It would be good to have an instant reply from a person, i do understand this is very hard. Just when you have a problem you want it fixed, maybe a dial in to our computer.
Jamie K. · Director · Construction · September 10, 2025
Upfront - Easy to use. Good/basic programs can be developed and easily shared with clients/stakeholders, easy however basic site diary entries can be entered in. Conversion of Estimates to Jobs is easy. Sending off quote requests is easy, creating PO's is easy and ties back to actuals for overall job financial analysis. Back end P&L reviews and easy viewing of where costings can be tightened up, or lacked.
Pros: It's ease of use, intuitiveness, you barely need to watch the videos to use it, it's that well structured.
Cons: It's good at what it does, and if your expectations are that it's going to be the best at everything, then I don't think you will be happy with anything.
James B. · Director · Construction · September 5, 2025
Once you get to know it you cant go without it. As i use for all my document storage now so fully using it full potential.
Pros: Easy to use and now going into AI measuring!! Exciting!! The ability to put pictures of the job on the quote is great.
Cons: Is that it cant talk to clients directly for me ha ha Maybe one day with AI!!! More option in "Allowances" to take out PC sums and just use as a dump section for information to your tender.
Kurt P. · Director · Construction · August 31, 2025
Very good most of the time. I like the constant updates. Tutorials are great but i think the support could be better
Pros: Easy to use software which is constantly updated to ensure you are have upgraded information and improvements
Cons: Support isn't that great. i don't like the fact that you cant speak to someone over the phone when you have an urgent matter to address and AI isnt always accurate
Daniel S. · Director · Construction · August 31, 2025
apart from some things that take some time to enter into the system, the overall expirience on the software is great.
Pros: The system is fairly great. the customer support is fantastic and the AI question answering system is amazing.
Cons: there should be a plug in where when you send emails to clients and vise versa it allows you the option to save it in the system.
Daniel C. · Director · Construction · August 31, 2025
I have loved it over the 5 years we have had it. I recommend it to all our builder friends and I will continue to use it.
Pros: Value for money and ease of use. Great for tracking jobs and margins. It leaves little room for error when invoicing and the detail we can provide clients is excellent
Cons: Not having someone to call straight away if there is an issue, i have to wait until someone gets back to me. The wait time is getting quicker and quicker in saying that.
katie b. · Business Manager · Construction · August 31, 2025
Its been good. It would be great to receive beeter service over the phone rather than the messaging platform.
Pros: I like the Scheduling. The new update has allowed us to move timeframes far easier. I also like templating previous quotes.
Cons: I dont like the predictive quantities that come up in estimate costings, and the the pop up predictive descriptions.
Amos S. · Managing Director · Construction · August 31, 2025
I have used buildxact majorly from an estimation and and Quotation purpose and from this perspective it is fantastic.
Pros: Buildxact combines the estimating, Quoting, Subcontractor management and production stages of a tender seemlessly. Best I have used yet.
Cons: The interface could use some upgrades that could be useful. Ex. 1. A copy function within or across estimate categories instead of using only template saved categories. 2. A mass delete option of categories. 3. Grouping multiple estimates or templates together.
Veerajjacob G. · Estimator · Construction · August 15, 2025
Helpful tool for construction businesses. It offers features like project management, cost tracking, and estimating, which can improve efficiency. However, some users find it has a learning curve, especially when it comes to advanced features like pricing and quoting. Overall, it seems to be a solid tool once users become familiar with it, but it might require some time to fully get the hang of it.
Pros: The system is very user-friendly, making it easy for anyone to navigate and use without confusion.
Cons: One issue with Buildxact is that its pricing feature can be a bit complex, especially for new users. It may take time to fully understand how to set up and manage quotes and estimates, leading to potential errors or delays in project budgeting. However the one on one training with [sensitive content hidden] combats this.
Karly A. · Office Admin · Construction · April 1, 2025
After switching to buildxact I wish I had done it years before
Pros: The ease of use and layout of buildxact makes it very esy to work through tenders
Cons: I struggle a little with the rfq as my subcontractors hardly ever submit in time and I have to keep reopening
Allan T. · Director estimator project manager · Construction · March 25, 2025
The system is easy to use and the help / support is amazing
Pros: Simple flow through from start to finish
Cons: When you in a job and you want to go back 1 page and it resets to main page
Stuart O. · Director · Construction · March 25, 2025
Very positive. BuildXact has changed my business and I am able to pivot into so many other avenues with this system.
Pros: The ability to work from anywhere and collaborate across many different scopes.
Cons: The app isn't built to use the system on site for ordering and estimating. The onsite schedule and client portal have improved heaps!
Tara H. · Estimator · Construction · March 20, 2025
Great, served my purpose when using / building.
Pros: Very intuitive and great for my smaller projects
Cons: Cost structure if you don't build always loss of data if you don't use it continuously. Should be a cost structure for casual users
Hendrik V. · Developer · Construction · March 12, 2025
Buildxact has completely changed how I can operate my building company, its streamlined the whole process from estimating to sending invoices and specifications it just does it all.
Pros: The estimate to quote process, being able to keep it all in one place and the whole way through the job you have your orders worked out you just need to send them to the supplier. Then the cost tracking through those purchase and work orders has been a game changer for how we can manage invoicing and cashflow.
Cons: I need to log in quite often with my authenticator which can be a annoying, but once I'm in its great.
Lewis F. · Director · Construction · March 12, 2025
So far easy and productive, I can make the projects estimates faster
Pros: Really easy to use, integration with home depot helps a lot
Cons: The way to do the take off and send it directly to Home Depot
