Initially I thought that EstimatorXpress was expensive but now that I’m using it I’ve started to realise all the things that I might have missed on each job and forgotten about. Plus my work has more than doubled since I got the software, so the software definitely pays for itself. Before EstimatorXpress I guess I used to estimate the ‘back of a fag packet’ method.

I’d work out the materials I need on the job, roughly, I’d try and take a guess at the labour costs based on experience and then hope that it’s about right and that I’d make some money. Now EstimatorXpress costs everything up and I can just go and add my profit, and whereas I was probably winning about 30% of jobs I was quoting for (so 3 out of every 10) I’m now winning 8 out of 10.

Customers have given me feedback about the detail and presentation of my quotes which gives them confidence and swings them in my favour. I’m certainly not the cheapest either! I would recommend EstimatorXpress to any builder I meet!
