Buildxact vs Field PM

Buildxact is cloud-based estimating and management software for residential builders, available on Android, iOS, and web. Builders can upload PDF plans, create digital takeoffs, and prepare estimates, while dealer connections provide real-time material pricing and quote requests. Project tools include scheduling, cost tracking, site management, invoicing, and customer communication. Blu adds AI tools for estimating, takeoffs, estimate review, and assembly assistance; some are sold as add-ons. Accounting integrations include Xero, QuickBooks online versions except Simple Start, and MYOB AccountRight. Buildxact Onsite lets crews view and update job information on mobile devices, but syncing jobs and the site diary requires a Pro or Teams plan. The free Go plan includes five complimentary credits, AI estimating, professional proposals, and Home Depot material ordering. Paid plans start at $169 a month, billed annually with a 12-month commitment. Buildxact says customer data is encrypted in transit and at rest, with access controls and automated backups.
