Buildxact starts from the estimate. Its Foundation plan, at $199 per month with unlimited users, includes lead management, digital takeoffs, the Blu Assembly Assistant for repeatable jobs, customizable quote letters, digital signatures, dealer integration with live material pricing, and purchase orders. Pro, at $399, adds job management, schedules, the Buildxact Onsite mobile app and the Blu Estimate Generator. Master, at $599, adds the Takeoff Assistant, the Estimate Reviewer, user access controls and priority support. The feature chart also lists selections, change orders, timesheets, actual costings, invoicing, accounting integrations and a client portal. Annual billing saves 15%, and there is a 14-day free trial. We compared documented features and published prices; Buildxact is a strong estimating tool, but general contractors who want schedules and site management must start at the $399 Pro plan, which puts it behind JobTread and Contractor Foreman on value.
