 Time Code/Show Notes 

0.26 Intro: Business coach expert Nick introduces Julian from Buildxact…

1.55  How did clunky, desktop estimating software evolve and expand to become an end-to-end solution for smaller builders?

3.06  How important is reclaiming family time; time for YOU?

3.40  Julian deconstructs how investing in the right software can benefit your daily operations. He begins with addressing how builders manage their leads, through to estimates, quotations, invoicing and variations;  tracking the process and having visibility across each project.

5.40  How do you feel about your general workflow? How smooth are your processes? Nick discovers that new software syncs all the moving parts together – it’s the way everything should be done. 

6.20 Prices changing have completely changed the way we look at business in the past 3 years. Trying to do everything manually is no longer viable.

7.30 Is software appropriate for your business? Can it work for everyone? Small to medium-sized- businesses with 10 or more employees benefit from the functionality of good software. 

9.34  How integrated can it be? You can drill down on details or be general; as time goes on, you can fine-tune it.

11.13  Nick wants to know more about the feedback from clients who are new to using software on-site.

 The average is about 25 hours to quote a job, Buildxact aim for you to cut this to around five. Manual business processes are NOT the way forward, nor is 25 hours work done in your downtime! 

12.36  What is time worth you? It’s up to FIVE times more efficient to use good software – and its capabilities to streamline the way you do business is improving every day.

Easy to use and under one platform – all from one source – with free training, and intelligent support and you’re up and running in a couple of hours. 

16.00  Not tech savvy? You don’t need to be; Buildxact’s estimating software is designed to help you within hours of a few simple instructions. You won’t know yourself!

17.13  Like Nick, Julian believes in valuable time away from the office.

18.12  What does the future look like for Buildxact? What does expansion look like? There’ll be more suppliers and subbies linking into Buildxact so a lot more supplier integration and connection. This is software that streamlines construction from end to end; no messy paper plans and scale rulers.
