The UK's Best Building Software for Extensions, Loft Conversions & Garage Conversions

PlansXpress is HBXL’s CAD software tailored for residential building construction. It allows you to offer Design & Build, and take the lead on extension and conversion projects. Your CAD drawings will be architect-quality and meet all regulatory standards. You’ll bring visions to life with a set of 3D models automatically produced from your design. Show exteriors, interiors, cross-sections and a drone-style shot.

Integrate your data-rich drawing file with EstimatorXpress which will read the information and produce accurate costings – automatically.

Effective project management is vital for building extension projects, where delays or miscommunications can quickly spiral out of control. BuildProjex software simplifies job and task management, allowing you to track progress, allocate resources, and communicate with your team in real time. It’s a cloud-based platform that ensures everyone stays in the loop, whether on-site or in the office. A dashboard for the client is a game-changer. It keeps them off your back and aware of what decisions they need to make! For those of you juggling multiple extension or conversion projects, BuildProjex’s task prioritisation and timeline tracking ensure deadlines are met.

Clear, legally robust contracts are crucial for avoiding disputes during your conversion or extension projects. ContractsXpert software provides builders with pre-written, customisable contracts tailored to construction projects. Whether you’re working with clients or subcontractors, ContractsXpert ensures terms are clearly defined, payments are structured, and expectations are aligned. This tool simplifies the paperwork, so you can focus on the build.
