Who are HBXL Building Software?

After many years running a construction business; first as a builder then a developer, Adrian Wild was frustrated by the lack of suitable construction software for the small to medium sized building business.

With no appropriate estimating tool on the market Adrian developed a range of construction software, starting with EstimatorXpress in 2000. Today, over 25 years later, these software tools help thousands of builders across the UK – and there’s still nothing comparable on the market.

Ultimately, a successful project on site, starts on the laptop. That’s where you make your money. And that’s what drives our commitment to pushing the limits of construction software, so that there’s no limit to where you can take your building business!

The story of HBXL

By builders, for builders

HBXL is a UK-based software company dedicated to helping small and medium-sized residential building companies work smarter, faster, and more profitably. Founded over 25 years ago, we’ve been at the forefront of developing practical, easy-to-use digital tools for builders undertaking refurbishments, retrofits, home extensions, conversions and new builds.

Running a building business isn’t easy. We get it! Tight margins, demanding customers, complex regulations… That’s why we create software that simplifies essential tasks. Our goal is to give business owners and managers more time to focus on their projects and profits.

Whether you’re starting a new business or long-established, HBXL provides the software support you need to succeed. That’s why we have thousands of users across the UK.

End-to-end solution

We develop award-winning software that streamlines essential construction processes, helping builders run efficient and professional businesses. Our suite of tools, as well as working individually, can be synced to provide a totally integrated digital solution. Each product talks to each other to cut admin time and reduce costly errors.

EstimatorXpress, our estimating software, calculates all your project costs with speed and accuracy. PlansXpress allows builders to draw professional plans without CAD experience. BuildProjex keeps jobs on track with easy task management, while Health & Safety Xpert ensures compliance with regulations. ContractsXpert simplifies contract creation, protecting both builders, sub-contractors and their clients.

By integrating these tools, you’re ensuring compliance and professionalism in every project.

Software, Service, Skills

HBXL was founded on the belief that builders who set up their own business deserve an admin process that works for them – not against them. Frustrated with the lack of software – or help – back in 2000, our founder Adrian (a builder and developer himself), set out to create a suite of tools that would relieve some of the pressures, starting with estimating.

Very quickly HBXL became an award-winning family business, and a professional team grew around them. Our values – expertise, reliability, and customer focus – drive everything we do. And we don’t just sell software; we provide OFSTED and CITB-approved training, and a valued Estimating Service.

When you choose HBXL, you’re not just getting software – you’re gaining a business partner.

Expertise, Excellence, Experience

Unlike many software providers, HBXL is built specifically for UK building companies. Our tools are designed with British regulations and pricing in mind, ensuring they work seamlessly for our users. We focus on practical solutions that deliver real results, not just software features. We call it ‘clever-easy’.

Our software isn’t just about getting admin set up on your laptop – it’s about making construction businesses more profitable – long term. And that requires an integrated approach. Again, we’re on our own when it comes to software tools syncing with each other to reduce time, effort and errors.

We also offer friendly UK-based support to ensure builders get the most from our software. When you invest in HBXL, you’re investing in a company that understands your challenges and is committed to helping you succeed. Only the best, for the best.
