We know this year isn’t going to be easy. You need more jobs to cover bigger expenses. Better jobs to give you a buffer in your bank account. Yet competition is likely to be greater and there could be fewer homeowners committing over the next few months. The most successful building firms this year will work hard to find customers, consistently month after month, ones that have money to spend on profitable projects. Want to join them? You need to work smarter and we can help. That’s why we’ve launched our ‘2023 New Business Starter Pack’.

EstimatorXpress Plus – business-winning estimating software

Smarter than your average estimating software – yet straightforward to use. Choose from hundreds of quote templates in EstimatorXpress Plus, add your dimensions and tweak your specification and resources. The estimating calculators speedily price the job, showing you the total cost, live, as you go. Plus if you want to build up your jobs from scratch you have that option too. Don’t take our word for it – read this recent Trustpilot review.

Material prices are updated in your software on a monthly basis – crucial in these turbulent inflationary times.

Onboarding session

We’ll spend time with you to become familiar with your new software. As well as onboarding, we offer you the option of a free software skills course as well. And there’s uncapped, unlimited help at the end of the phone 9am-5pm Monday to Friday. Plus lots of short ‘How-to’ videos and FAQs. We don’t take your money and run! We want you to get the most from your software.

Free business coaching

Included in the Starter Pack for construction estimating is a complimentary 60-minute online session with Simon Lazarus. We’re very fortunate to have the services of, we believe, the only business mentor based in the UK who is focussed entirely on the builder / homeowner relationship. Years of surveying, researching and interviewing has given Simon of the Better Business Group, unparalleled knowledge of what customers are looking for – and what builders need to do to charge what they’re worth. It requires a rethink and change of mindset – and Simon can help. Is 2023 your year for a new approach to winning quality business?

Marketing training – free trial of first module

Half the battle is appealing to the right customers, whilst making yourself stand out from the crowd. In partnership with training experts Videotile, we’re pleased to be able to offer you a number of short marketing courses (that you can do in your own time, whenever suits). There’s Facebook for Business, Twitter for Business and Linkedin for Business (all £90+VAT per course), plus Search Engine Optimisation for Business and Social Media for Business (both £149+VAT). You can have a trial which provides you with access to the first module of any of these courses – absolutely free.

£20 Cineworld E-gift Voucher

Cineworld say ‘you deserve a night with the stars’ and that’s our thinking too! With the help of time-saving EstimatorXpress Plus, you’ll soon get your evenings back.

Discount voucher on an additional product

EstimatorXpress Plus is just the start. You could add PlansXpress and offer Design & Build. You could add Health & Safety Xpert and sleep better at night. All our software uses our unique X-Connex technology. So you simply drop your estimate file into Health & Safety Xpert, answer a few questions and it will give you all the documents relevant to the job. PlansXpress works the other way round. Draw your project and drop the file into EstimatorXpress, and get an automatic estimate from it! Amazing! You have 90 days from the start date of your EstimatorXpress Plus subscription to subscribe to either PlansXpress or Health & Safety Xpert – and we’ll give you the 13th month FREE.
