EstimatorXpress is simple to use whether you're estimating a loft conversion or a new build

Thanks to its clever automating abilities, our estimating software for builders is simple to use. That’s whether you select one of the hundreds of fully-automated readymade templates in the project library or build your estimate up from scratch, element by element. You even have the option to bolt on our ‘Take-off’ tool for an automatic estimate. Yes you read that correctly. Trace over your building plans, drop the file into EstimatorXpress, answer some questions and out comes an estimate (and quotation, Build Programme, Material Schedule…)! As the name suggests…EstimatorXpress is seriously fast!

“I’m quoting on more jobs than ever because they’re so quick to produce.”

There are a ton of different AI-powered job types from renovation work to extensions, loft conversions to new builds. Each template is made up of the relevant estimating calculators to get you quoting fast. Scroll down the page, answer a few questions and see the cost add up as you enter your dimensions and tweak the spec.

“I was literally losing money from out-of-date prices. Not anymore.”

The built-in price book in our estimating software for builders has well over 6000 resources from sand to steels, ties to tiles, basins to boilers, wall plugs to windows… Our unique Price Tracker+ AI tool automatically fetches the latest prices from across the internet to keep your price book up-to-date. It means your estimates are based on current market conditions. Got your own special prices? Add them in.

“Before, I added a rough 10% to the cost of the build as a mark-up. How wrong was I!?”

Wastage. Wear & Tear. Overheads. Mark-up. Inflation. Crucial. You’re not quoting the full cost of a job without them. Yet it’s fiddly doing it yourself. That’s why this award-winning estimating software for construction, does the calculations for you using clever coding. Decide your percentages and that’s it.

“I’ve never had a better understanding of my jobs. This dashboard has been a lightbulb moment.” 

Look at all the job details at a glance for the most profitable outcome. Get all the info on the job costs, the profit and overheads, plus the cost to the customer. Choose to view the cost by cash flow, build phase, trade, resource, subcontract type. It’s amazing what comes to light…

“I can have three jobs on the go and know exactly what needs to be where, and when.”

Or more commonly known as a Build Programme or Gantt Chart. EstimatorXpress auto-generates your Gantt Chart schedule from the estimate. All you have to do is note when a delivery is postponed or weather is causing delays, and watch the software dynamically update work sequences and push back everything else.

“I don’t recognise myself! I talk about being ‘on budget’. I keep tabs on hours. It’s all about profit!”

You need more than an estimate and customer quotation. AI-powered auto-generated reports and financial tools in our construction estimating software show you cash in and out, a breakdown of your plant costs, your spend on labour hours, your sub-contractor outlay… keeping you on track and across all your expenditure, so you can make informed decisions and maintain profitability.
