Get the design right from the start and the rest will follow

  • If you’re not responsible for the design, then you want to be sure that what is down on paper can be done in reality – and for the budget proposed. Trace the drawing in PlansXpress and run it through EstimatorXpress for an instant costing.
  • Once in a CAD form, you can more easily propose any modifications by demonstrating the alternatives yourself.
  • And if you’re designing your own project – happy days! PlansXpress will deliver all your plans, elevations, building regulation notes, and 3D models – quickly and easily.

A one-stop shop offering Design & Build

  • PlansXpress allows you to combine your practical expertise with HBXL tools to deliver a one-stop service. You can design in the easy-to-use CAD software, and get an estimate in EstimatorXpress, directly from the data in the drawing. That’s business-transforming!
  • In consultation with the client, you can make adjustments and update the estimate in a matter of minutes. The client stays on budget and you keep your planned profit.
  • The 3D models the CAD software automatically produces, include external and internal images, as well as a drone-style overhead image. We reckon that’s worth charging the client for!
  • Offering Design & Build means you can take the lead on the design to eliminate frustratingly impractical ideas and expensive materials – and provide a first class service – while making the money you deserve…

Lock in the profit on your house-building project

  • Decent profit comes from better work not more work. EstimatorXpress helps you take a more strategic approach, with a real-time dashboard that shows you the jobs that have proved more profitable than others.
  • EstimatorXpress tracks the latest prices and works out not just today’s cost but the job start date cost as well – crucial if you’re not breaking ground for a few months.
  • Then there’s wear and tear and wastage. Don’t underestimate the financial losses companies make when broken, damaged, wrongly cut materials aren’t factored in.
  • The reports, automatically produced from the estimate, provide valuable information, including a Materials Schedule – so everything arrives when it should – at a price negotiated well in advance. It’s all about locking in the profit figure – so you actually make what you calculated at the start.

House-building comes with great responsibility

  • Health & Safety, finances, the legality of the project, whether you’re thinking sustainably or wastefully… no building company owner or manager wants any blame laid at their door.
  • Thankfully PlansXpress gives pointers as you go, and automatic specification notes. EstimatorXpress accounts for every last nail and hour of labour. And both tools carry the latest sustainable materials. Health & Safety Xpert selects the policies and assessments relevant to the job – good news for the Principal Designer and Principal Contractor. And ContractsXpert writes the all-important legally-binding contracts between you and your client or your sub-contractors.
  • Then BuildProjex helps you project manage the whole job with the team – and the customer, who gets their own dashboard for checking in.

Planning is everything

  • Supply hold-ups and a hard-to-find workforce can very quickly cause delays and financial implications. As well as a quote and estimate, EstimatorXpress gives you a set of reports to keep you on track. Like a Material schedule to give advanced notice to suppliers. And an onboard Gantt chart that will cascade the consequences of a date change that you give it.
  • Give the estimate to BuildProjex and it will produce a calendar, task list, actual v target Gantt, and more, so you can monitor any slippage.
  • While Health & Safety Xpert ensures you prioritise safety procedures by providing the running order of when you need to action your legal obligations.

Impress the self-builder, the property developer, the investor…

  • You may be building on land you’ve purchased, in which case it’s the bank manager or investor who needs to feel confident in you. You could be looking to cultivate a good relationship with a developer. Or you may be in the business of building dream homes for individuals.
  • Whatever the scenario you need to look and be professional, and run a business that is trusted for producing high quality work, on time and in budget.
  • Presentation is key. Architect-quality plans and elevations, 3D models to sell the dream, a detailed project cost breakdown plus cashflow forecast. Get that right and you’re half way there.
