Buildxact review
A free starting plan leads into paid estimating and job-management tiers.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Buildxact is cloud-based construction estimating and project management software for residential builders and remodelers. Its workflows span digital takeoffs and estimating from PDF plans, proposals, bid management, scheduling, job costs, purchase orders, invoicing, and site updates. Field teams can use its Onsite app to view jobs, share files and photos, and maintain daily logs. Small builders can start with the free Go plan; teams that need a broader project workflow should compare the paid tiers against their budget and requirements.
The free Go plan includes AI estimating, professional proposals, Home Depot material ordering, and five complimentary credits. A 14-day trial is also offered. According to Buildxact’s published plans, Foundation is $169 per month with annual billing and adds unlimited users, lead management, digital takeoffs, dealer integration, and purchase orders. Pro costs $339 per month with annual billing and adds job management, schedules, the Onsite mobile app, and Blu Estimate Generator. Master is $509 per month with annual billing; its additions include Blu Takeoff Assistant, Blu Estimate Reviewer, user access controls, and priority customer support. The annual plans require a 12-month commitment.
The product’s breadth is useful for residential teams that want estimating and field coordination in one system: features include task assignment and Gantt-chart scheduling, budgets, work orders, bid and subcontractor quote requests, and accounting integrations with Xero and QuickBooks. Deputy and Rendr are also listed integrations, and Buildxact is available on web, iOS, and Android. AI-assisted estimating is present across the offering, while the named Blu tools differ by tier. Builders seeking a no-cost entry point can begin with Go, but the substantial paid starting price may be difficult for smaller operations once they need paid-plan capabilities. Teams whose requirements center on RFIs or submittals should compare alternatives before choosing.
