Admin Assistant

“The platform is highly customizable, allowing us to tailor it to our workflows, and the customer support team has been excellent throughout the implementation process.”
KH

Keara H.

Office Manager

Pros

“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”
MS

Mitch S.

Construction manager

“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.”
NS

Natalie S.

Senior immigration Advisor

“The takeoff tools and cost tracking features help reduce manual effort and improve consistency across bids.”
DW

Dario W.

Estimator

Cons

“Additionally, while the mobile interface is functional, there are occasional inconsistencies in loading speeds when switching between complex modules—such as moving from detailed cost reports to daily logs—which can impact efficiency during busy site visits.”
IB

Ilkin B.

Project Manager

“The only thing I wish I could do, was have the system send and email (invoice or estimate or whatever) and the email shows that its coming from me instead of contractor foreman. If I forget to tell the client, they dont recognize the email address and they dont open it.”

Selicio A.

Project Manager

“I've encountered some bugs and occasional inconsistencies during my use, which, while not deal-breakers, do require some patience and workaround solutions.”
MG

Mark G.

Estimator

Cons

“It can be a little annoying when making reports takes a few extra clicks and some small problems happen from time to time.”
Verified reviewer profile picture

Sanket Y.

Project Manager

“I struggle a little with the rfq as my subcontractors hardly ever submit in time and I have to keep reopening”
AT

Allan T.

Director estimator project manager

“There are some things that buildxact can't do like negative variations in a cost plus job. But usually when raised they try to fix things. ”
