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.
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.
