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. > > 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. ----- ### "A get-it-done value-for-money program" — 5.0/5 > **Sharelle** | *16 April 2026* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **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. > > 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. ----- ### "Great allround tool for Estimating & Scheduling" — 5.0/5 > **Chris** | *3 May 2022* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Take Off tools and being able to bring estimates across to actual jobs \& cost tracking with the invoice functions > > **Cons**: Not being able to move items into different categories, take off not readily available once job marked as won ----- ### "Bring back the calander" — 5.0/5 > **Mitch** | *29 March 2026* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **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 > > Terrific customer service. I have however been asking to bring back the calander for some time now. Thanks ----- ### "Accessing Live Dealer Pricing is Next Level" — 5.0/5 > **Jennifer** | *19 April 2026* | Real Estate | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **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. > > Simple monthly payment, accurate up-to-date estimates, time saving tips. Perfect customer support too. ----- Page: 1 / 9\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/70581/buildxact?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/70581/buildxact) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
