"After initially buying the superb…"

After initially buying the superb estimator express software, I have always received 100% top notch customer service from these guys.
I would highly recommend both the software and the customer support package.

"The team and helpline are always…"

The team and helpline are always extremely helpful, nothing is ever too much trouble and no question too silly! Shout out to Joe, who is a brilliant communicator and it's so refreshing to talk to people who know their stuff! Software overall saves so much time (and we get our evenings back) on quoting jobs. 10/10.

"I wish I got this software year's ago!…"

I took the plunge and took out the life time subscription.
The software is easy to use.
It pretty much covers every job associated within the building trades.
Provided that the overheads and profit margins are tweaked to your own business needs, I feel it's accurate and can be relied upon.
There's also very helpful support on the end of the phone too.
I would definitely recommend this software to any builder especially as there are so many variables involved in the work. It saves a lot of time and mistakes during the estimating process.

"Great products and wish we'd invested…"

Great products and wish we'd invested sooner. Also great support team who have been very helpful.

"Estimator Xpress and Plans Xpress are a great combination"

Estimator Xpress has been very useful software to help provide detailed quotes and for picking up on details that are often forgotten in the estimating process. Linking to Plansxpress has taking my estimating to the next level as it can cope with changing plan details, if the client wants to discuss a change of works altered plans and costings are simple to produce.

I've used help on chat and over the phone a lot as there is much to learn in the software.

"A very helpful piece of software"

A very helpful piece of software

"Fantastic software"

Fantastic software, Learning more and more every time I use it and support staff couldn't be more helpful if you have to ring up. 10 out of 10

"If Carlsberg made software"

HBXL is probably the best investment I have made in a very long time, great product and backed up with great support from a fantastic team

"Exceptional Estimating Software for Construction Professionals"

I've been using HBXL estimating software for my construction projects for quite some time now, and I must say, it has truly revolutionized the way I do business. From the moment I started using it, I noticed a significant improvement in my efficiency and accuracy in estimating costs.

One of the standout features of HBXL estimating software is its user-friendly interface. It's intuitive and easy to navigate, even for someone like me who isn't particularly tech-savvy. I was able to quickly grasp the functionalities and start using it to its full potential.

The accuracy of the estimates produced by HBXL software is remarkable. It takes into account all the variables and factors involved in construction projects, ensuring that I get realistic and reliable estimates every time. This has been instrumental in helping me stay within budget and deliver projects on time.

Additionally, the customer support provided by the HBXL team is top-notch. Whenever I've had a question or needed assistance, they've been incredibly responsive and helpful, guiding me through any issues I encountered.

Overall, I can't recommend HBXL estimating software highly enough. It's an invaluable tool for any construction professional looking to streamline their estimating process and improve their bottom line. Five stars without hesitation!

"SUPER DETAILED GUESTIMATE"

My project is a change of use from house to 4 flats. Builder #1 (who did a simlar project in 2023 for me) quoted £226,276. Builder #2 quoted £295,945.27. Builder #3 (using HBXL) came up with £386,589.07. The work has not helped at all to be able to hold any of the other quotes to account. A 30-70% variance is just too much for me to rely on the output.

The output is certainly detailed, though my focus in analysing the wild variance has been to focus on the rates and quantities schedule of over 1600 lines. The rest of the output looks impressive but in reality are just different cuts of the same base data that anyone can obtain with a spreadsheet.

The sales pitch was good in terms of being able to "value engineer" once the quote was produced. However, this process evaporate with requests for more money, when I asked for a breakdown by flat (the scheme of 4 flats includes a main building, loft conversion and outbuilding). This is a fundamental aspect of the project.

So I was disappointed with HBXL for being so off the mark when compared to other builder quotations, and for drilling down, but completely missing the basic point of a cost breakdown by flat.

You live and learn!
