Getting started with Buildxact was pretty easy. It took me a day or so to get the hang of it, but once I got the hang of it and once you get into it, it’s really easy to use. It’s really simple.
Buildxact Review
It’s very intuitive, especially the takeoff and final estimate, and I can control what I want to show the client. I run my own company on a day-to-day basis and sub out the construction, and Buildxact saves me time.
