New Buildxact pricing integration for top-level builder, dealer collaboration on display at 2022 NAHB International Builders’ Show

Sun, 06 Feb 2022 13:00:00 +0000

Builders use software to improve customer service in challenging market conditions

ORLANDO, Feb. 07, 2022 – Buildxact, a global SaaS company providing a simple solution for residential builders to better manage and grow their business, will demonstrate at the 2022 NAHB International Builders’ Show in Orlando, Florida. Attendees will learn how dealers and builders increasingly use software to help each other win more jobs amid climbing material prices and a tight labor market.

Demonstrations and conversations with industry leaders about this trend and other digital innovations will be held at the Buildxact booth, #W6871. Using Buildxact, custom home builders are reducing the time it takes to complete painstaking, manual tasks like material takeoffs by as much as 80%.

“We have worked with many builders who today have greater understanding and transparency into how their business runs and as a result are winning more jobs. They are free from the office and out on the job getting more of what truly matters done,” David Murray, Buildxact CEO, said. “At this year’s Builders’ Show, we will show them how our latest product developments extend productivity to their dealer.”

Successful dealers are now integrating material pricing directly into the Buildxact platform. Builders are free to research and send orders to their dealer at a time most convenient to them. And a recent integration with Epicor BisTrack makes it straightforward, as dealers can now use their familiar ERP to upload up-to-date price lists and process orders. This integration carries several benefits:

Up to 5x less time needed for dealers and builders to send customer quotes
Increased accuracy of orders as need for follow-up phone calls and emails drops
More time available for dealer, builder project planning and consultation

The media is invited to Buildxact’s press event on Wednesday 2/9 from 7:30-8:30 a.m. in the booth for interviews and more details regarding this new product feature. Media and interested builders and dealers can also join the Buildxact team each day to hear about this latest price integration feature and how fully integrated cloud-based tools from Buildxact can help builders manage projects end-to-end; from preparing quotes and estimates to tracking profitability using online financial dashboards.

Buildxact will also host a daily Job. Done. Happy Hour in their booth, which will spotlight thought leadership discussions on how builders can stay abreast of the latest trends.

In addition to booth events, Buildxact will host a panel discussion, Dealers Innovate to Offer More Value-Driven Services, to be held in Custom Building Central on Wed. 2/9 at 8:45 a.m. in booth #W303. Product demonstrations will also be held at this kiosk throughout the week.

Buildxact launches for small builders in the U.S.

Sun, 02 Feb 2020 13:00:00 +0000

Las Vegas, United States: Small builders and remodelers in the US will spend significantly less time on administration and gain more control over their cash flow and profits with the further expansion of the Buildxact cloud platform into the North American market, announced at the International Builders Show in Las Vegas on January 21st.

Buildxact is set to be a game changer for the hundreds of thousands of custom home builders and remodelers currently active in the residential construction industry, thanks to a unique design that caters specifically for the workflow and business challenges of this market segment. Buildxact helps builders keep projects on track, manage financials on the go, and schedule trades all on one single platform.

With its intuitive estimating and job management tools, American custom home builders and remodelers using Buildxact can cut the time spent estimating and quoting by 80 per cent. The construction industry across the world is lagging when it comes to tech, with productivity averaging only 1 per cent a year over the last two decades, compared to 2.8 per cent of the total world economy. For builders looking to grow in an evolving economy, tweaking their business model with better administration processes could improve productivity and help to carve out a competitive advantage.

David Murray, Chief Executive Officer at Buildxact said, “For the most part, small-to-medium construction businesses operate much the same way they have for the last 20 years. That is, quotes and invoices are largely manual, communications are done over the phone or email, and business admin is tracked in various excel spreadsheets or by an external bookkeeper. Often this is because they lack fit-for-purpose software tools to help them run the business side of building.”

“Buildxact helps builders manage their projects more efficiently with real-time, connected and accurate information. We’ve designed a solution where residential builders and remodelers can track their entire build from takeoff to final invoice, integrate with other online solutions, and spend less time on admin and more time on what’s important to them, growing their business or spending time with the family.”

Buildxact currently has offices in North America and is part of the Building Industry Association Los Angeles Ventura (BIA-LAV), to connect with other local developers, builders and consultants, and to help address some of the key issues impacting the industry. Tim Piasky, Chief Executive Officer at BIA-LAV said, “We’re delighted Buildxact is part of the BIA-LAV community. A major pain point for builders and sub-trades in the residential construction industry is finding a software solution that is easy-to-use. Buildxact not only brings a wealth of industry knowledge to our small builders and remodeler members, but a proven solution that enables builders to reduce estimation and quotation time and stay on top of project costs and scheduling, all on a single platform.”

Adam MacLean, Director of Business Development at Buildxact said, “For most builders, the thought of having to purchase, learn and roll out new digital tools sounds expensive and time-consuming. There’s a significant gap in the residential construction market for integrated and feature-rich solutions that are affordable, easy to use and easy to get started with. Today, our technology is a trusted tool for hundreds of builders across Canada, Australia and New Zealand to deliver new homes and renovations, and we’re excited to bring this innovation to US builders to help make their lives easier and simpler.”

The US will become Buildxact’s third market outside Australia, having expanded its services into Canada and New Zealand in May 2019 and October 2018, respectively. The company is growing rapidly, reporting 100 per cent year-on-year growth, and the launch follows its AU$8.5 million capital raise led by Aconex (now Oracle) co-founder Leigh Jasper in December last year.
