Buildxact rounds out the list as the estimating-first option for residential builders. Foundation at $199 a month includes unlimited users, lead management, digital takeoffs, the Blu assembly assistant, customizable quote letters, digital signatures, dealer integration, purchase orders and training and support. Pro at $399 adds the Blu estimate generator, job management, schedules and the Buildxact Onsite mobile app, which is where it starts to work as a construction management tool rather than only an estimating one. Master at $599 adds the Blu takeoff assistant and estimate reviewer, user access controls and priority support. Annual plans save 15%, and there is a 14-day free trial. General contractors who need RFIs, submittals and drawing control for commercial jobs will find little here, and the jump to Pro for scheduling makes it pricier than JobTread or Contractor Foreman for full job management.
