Not got PlansXpress yet?

PlansXpress is an essential tool to quickly and easily draw professional building plans, elevations and 3D models.  Research shows clients often find there is very little to separate builders when choosing the company for their building project, PlansXpress can change all that for you.

We’ve teamed up with Crystal Direct – the leading UK supplier of a huge range of competitively priced, made-to-measure PVC-U products. CAD software, PlansXpress includes new drawing tools for PVC-U products  – and estimating software, EstimatorXpress 2015 can now incorporate Crystal Direct prices into the quotes it produces.

What makes it so great?

You might be thinking that you’ve tried CAD software before, and found it too much like hard work, but this is software with a difference.  It’s made with novices in mind, with simple drag and drop symbols and tools to create professional 2D plans and 3D models with no experience necessary.

Plans software is typically generic, so anything can be built from skyscrapers to cars.  Instead, PlansXpress was designed by a builder, for builders to help with day-to-day work like extensions, loft conversions as well as new builds.

In-built building knowledge draws the details and hatching you’d expect on your plans automatically and a 3D model even creates simultaneously so your work looks top-notch and impresses your client.

What if I already have plans from the client?

We’ve thought of that too, PlansXpress is designed so you can scan or import existing plans to make life even easier.  Use the helpful Scan drawing tools to trace over walls, place your windows, doors and create 3D models and professional plans with virtually no effort.

If you already have EstimatorXpress we’ve combined the two to create 3D Visual Estimating so you can import your plans to instantly cost the project in minutes.
