Testimonials about HBXL staff & support


HBXL staff and support are the best people I’ve ever dealt with. Not only do they believe in their product but they guide, show, and help you realise the benefit to your business.

On first contacting the company, I was given sound advice on which product options were available and the benefits. I was offered a trial of the software with on-line demonstration.

As time progressed, my silly inexperienced queries were handle with professional courtesy and an attitude of no query to small. As an example to their commitment and support, one weekend evening I was working to get a quote finished but had a technical problem with my old PC and the new software. On HBXL website, I saw the sales advisor "ask me a question" box saying he was on-line. I asked if he minded me asking a technical query. He didn't mind at all and even got hold of a technical support advisor at home, whom logged-in, and fixed my problem. The quote got finished and posted. I won the job.

What a service? Like most people I'm busy working to make my living, but come the day you need a bit of help or support, then you've got it. Whether by email, phone or web, I always have a reply straight away.

The support is my lifeline to the business.

Prior to moving to HBXL I used two other suppliers of estimating software, one a very expensive supplier then one at the lower end of the market, both companies were used for some time, the cheapest option being the better suited to a small to medium size company or sole trader, the large companies system was far to in depth and complicated, with the cheaper being just the ticket for quick budget estimates, simple to use but had little in depth choices.

At this time, I had heard of HBXL and had some demonstrations whilst at Interbuild over a number of years, but never followed up with any purchase. Then I had one of the largest jobs I had ever quoted, my existing software was not up to the mark, the HBXL team had impressed me enough to get in touch and request some help and advice.  Simon Wild followed up with a call and on site demonstration, where he was able to show that he could actually price not only the large contract but also the small contracts, now as a small builder it’s important that any funds are spent on things that work and where I can gain access to help as and when needed.  I have been with HBXL now for a number of years and have since expanded my software to cover the main areas of my works and I have always had the back up I needed.

Would I recommend HBXL "YES I Would" they have always been there to help even to the point that when I needed to update my computer it was HBXL support that I contacted for advice.  As for the ongoing assistance that any new or existing user needs HBXL are there with the time and expertise to support you.

I have over the years seen the building industry change, with HBXL these changes are accounted for in the software updates and the web training is a great success for me, as I need to do things on a one to one to get the most out of any training. Web training sessions are just one way HBXL have looked at their customers and adapted their training to suit.

I am new to HBXL I have only been using it a week and I think the system and the customer care, are fantastic, just the thing to give you the edge.
I have been recommending it to all my friends. But of course, only the ones I am not in direct competition with!

I found the training for EstimatorXpress very useful and I'm really glad that I did it. Because there were only 4 of us there, I found the interactivity level very high. We could go at the pace of the slowest member without holding anyone up. I'm not a very experienced builder and sometimes struggle with all the lingo and terminology, but both the trainer and the software made everything very clear. It was good fun too.

Using any software package requires an effort on the new user to read and play with the software. The playing will inevitably cause some problems. The support when things need putting right, or you require to get out of hole, is extremely good. Fast, efficient, and friendly.

Paul La Nauze,

In my opinion if you want a family life with a successful business, and you don't buy HBXL then all you will achieve is failure on both. For once you can talk to computer people about the problems you have and not get an answer in gobbldygook, just plain straight forward builder language.

Customer Success Testimonials


People are talking about a recession – I can’t believe it. I have work coming in thick and fast. Using EstimatorXpress and PlansXpress has allowed me to provide a successful design and build service.
EstimatorXpress produces a professional quote which is broken down so customers know exactly where their money is being spent, and the art work used means everyone can understand it. It really helps customers warm towards you. Plus PlansXpress saves me money on architect’s fees – savings which I can pass onto my customers so everyone gains.
Before using HBXL’s software I was winning 1 in 10 jobs a week. Now I get about 5 – that’s a big increase. My diary I booked up! My new website has helped too – 4 requests in the first week. In today’s market it’s an essential way to reach customers and keep the work coming in.

Don Christian, Swift Building Management Services

Our business has grown exponentially over the last 4 years and this is very much down to HBXL software. It has enabled me to grow from a white van man scribbling on bits of letterheads to competing with the big boys using professionally produced estimates full of relevent information. The client loves them and I am pleased to say we are regularly achieving a 4 out of 5 success rate for estimates. This shows the software makes us competitive. All we have to do is produce the goods!

Lee Goodwin
Oakleafe Property Services Ltd.


EstimatorXpress makes my business more competitive and saves me about half a day per estimate. I also use Health and Safety expert everyday, it’s really easy to use. I have just had a training course which was really informative and introduced me to PlansXpress –very good and I will be using it in the future!

David Hall

EstimatorXpress and PlansXpress has been a real bonus to our business, although I must admit at first it was like the blind leading the blind, with myself at the controls and my husband looking and pointing at the screen, it definitely took a while to grasp the concept.  I worked my way through the manuals and the telephone help I received was excellent.  The customer support were patient and really helpful - once I had grasped the concept it was like a dark cloud had lifted. 

In this time of 'austerity' it seemed like a large amount to spend on something which may not reflect a return, but I would say that we have gained about 80% of jobs we have quoted for, it has definitely paid for itself. 

One of our jobs has been awarded the Federation of MasterBuilder 2010 award for Small Renovations Projects for the Yorkshire Region - I would like to thank HBXL for playing it's part in that.  Thank you.

Visual Estimating Testimonials

In a difficult market where there seem to be less and less jobs available, I always have to be thinking about what we can do to maximise our chances of winning the jobs we quote for. Visual Estimating is a great way to do this. It really makes you stand out from the crowd.

I didn’t used to offer to do drawings for customers. However, since buying PlansXpress I have started offering the service, particularly for the smaller jobs like extensions or garage conversions. The way I work now is that I do the drawing for a customer on PlansXpress and then export it into EstimatorXpress to generate the estimate.

I also have the 3D PhotoVisualiser and this has helped enormously. All you have to do is click one button to see your plan in a photorealistic view. And whilst you are drawing out a project, you might as well be getting a 3D model thrown into the bargain. Customers have been really impressed that I can show them a realistic image of what their project will look like.

This all means that I am now at the stage where a customer can tell me their ideas or show me a scrappy little drawing and then I can come back to them will a fully developed concept, plans, a quote with a full cost break-down, and a 3D model of their project. I take my laptop with me to customer’s houses to show it all off. It really gets customers excited to be presented with their dreams, but as something real and tangible. Work has definitely increased because of this.

I also think it helps that I can now offer a full design and build service. Customers like that they only have to go to one person to ask about their project, rather than wasting time liaising between an architect and a builder. This has been enabled by HBXL software.

EstimatorXpress Customer Testimonials

I used to use another estimating software for a long time but would certainly recommend EstimatorXpress to anyone who asked. It's definitely a step forward in estimating software. It's user friendly and I've found it’s particularly good for estimating roofs amongst other things.
I have to add that the Help Team are superb. They are very happy and willing to resolve any issues I've got. It's great to know they're on hand.
EstimatorXpress replaces the need for a QS and the beauty of the software is that you don't need to know the complex terminology involved with things like SMM7 to use it. The up-grades that are regularly brought out are excellent too and make HBXL even more of a helpful tool.

EstimatorXpress does everything I wanted it to do… and a lot more besides. The quotes are so efficient. It’s very easy to forget the little things, and these things can soon add up. EstimatorXpress takes out the guesswork and takes care of everything else!

Duncan Herington

EstimatorXpress has made my life a lot easier when doing estimates for my customers. Saving me time that was spent on the phone before, so I have more time to do other things now.  EstimatorXpress is so fast and so good it speaks for itself!

The best thing about EstimatorXpress is that the ratio of enquiries to jobs won is very high! Plus it is the quickest way to produce quotes, and you can’t under price!

I’m getting on very well with EstimatorXpress. I’m not very good on computers but once I’d found my way around, I found it really easy to get along with.

I have been using EstimatorXpress for a number of years and it has become an essential tool of my business. All estimates, even quite small ones, are produced using the software. It enables accurate detailed prices to be produced in a relatively short space of time. I frequently win jobs in spite of not being the cheapest estimate, the customers have more confidence in the viability of my prices. They know that the price is comprehensive and that it is unlikely there will be extra charges later on through under-estimating.
Simon Steele
Pigsty 2 Palace
 

EstimatorXpress has actually saved our business – it’s that good! Our architect even recommends us to customers he is that impressed by the documents. The 1st estimate we did we thought came out too high so didn’t put it in and ended up making a loss. Ever since then we’ve had 100% confidence in the software and it has never let us down. The impressive quote and cost breakdown means the customer can see where the money is being spend so they are happy with the price. At the beginning we admit we were skeptical and it took a little time to really get to grips with the software and manipulate it to work the way we do. It was worth it though. We’ve done over 193 estimates with the software so far and consistency win 1out of every 2 or 3 job quoted for. If I don’t win I’m second.

Ann and Dave Hutching

Just a few words to let you know how happy I am with the software, it’s the best thing since sliced bread! I have so far completed 10 quotes using estimator Xpress and have really noticed how much quicker it is. I used to produce my quotes manually, having to go back to them the next day to check I hadn’t missed anything. I like the presentation too – the detail makes the quote look so good and tells the customer where the money is going instead of just giving a final figure. When I get my first job I will definitely look into getting Health and Safety Xpert too.

Mark Huston
Ross Construction


The software is the best money I have ever spent! I used to do all my estimating by hand and it took me a good 4 days just to get 1 quote done! With EstimatorXpress it's completed in a matter of hours and my quotes look really professional. The software is simple to use and quick, and I’ve won a lot more business. The EstimatorXpress disk stays in my computer 52 weeks a year as I'm constantly preparing quotes from all the business it's created! The only downside is that I need about 50 more people to work for me to get all the jobs done!!! I have also now even got the health and safety disc that is well worth the money as well!

Alan Cox
Valley Construction

I have just done my first quote with EstimatorXpress and won the job – you can’t ask for more than that! I’ve been in the business 30 years so know what my quote should come to but wanted to speed up the process and not have to worry about updating material costs. EstimatorXpress’ database gives me accurate pricing and the whole process saves me time and gives me a more professional edge.

Freddie Eaton
Concept Construction


I have used EstimatorXpress for a while now and the professional way it prints the quotes (and the ease to edit) keeps bringing in the work. I couldn’t believe it so I had the quotes checked by a professional who came to the same final figures using industry standard methods, so I am not making mistakes with the software...it just seemed too easy! I am now used to the programme and can estimate a large extension in less than half an hour. Still very impressed.

Clive Burfoot
Clive Burfoot Construction


What's so outstanding about EstimatorXpress is the speed and ease of estimating. I can turn jobs and estimates round quicker than ever before! Estimates used to take between 7 and 8 hours – with EstimatorXpress they take 2 ½ hours max. I'm very pleased with it.

Paul Hutson
Hutson Property Developers

I'm an architect and I purchased the software as an aid for my clients. I am very impressed with the technical on-screen detail shown at all stages while inputting sizes etc.

Mike Russell

The software is easy to use and ideal for people who don't know about estimating software or haven't used estimating software before. The drawings in the program allow you to input your dimensions correctly especially for the more complicated areas such as hip roofs. The drawings help you to know you are putting in the right information and ensure that you don't miss any important details.

I'm more than happy with EstimatorXpress. Whenever I have problems they are answered quickly by the support team. Good customer service.

Bryan Cleeton
The Carpentry Company


I've found EstimatorXpress extremely useful. It's quick and so easy to use. If there is anything I struggle with then it's clearly explained in the manual. I'm saving bags of time from my old pen & paper estimating.

Rober Mueller


I used EstimatorXpress to cost my own self build project which was the best decision I ever made. Now I'm going to use it to help my brother and price up his extension with it. I'd recommend EstimatorXpress to anybody who's doing a self build project.

Ray Lewis


The EstimatorXpress software is great! It's brilliant! I can do 3 estimates in a day now compared to 1 every 2 days using the old method. I'm looking to have training on it so that I can do 5 a day! It really is top banana and I love the free updates you get. I just got a free loft and timber frame conversion pack, which is Rolls Royce because everyone wants loft conversions at the moment and everyone's getting into timber frame projects too. The work is flooding in. I've just costed a £1.7 million project using the software, which proves that it's not just small builds EstimatorXpress is designed for.

Peter Henry
p/h building company

I am so happy with EstimatorXpress. It paid for itself in the first job. I've managed to bag £40,000 jobs because of this software! I love the quote wizard - it's unbelievably good and saves me loads of time. I'm really made up with it.

Graham Humphreys


I find EstimatorXpress so easy to use. The general lay-out and pictures make it very thorough and it doesn't leave anything out. It saves me so much time too. It really is amazing!

Ian Chappell
Chappell Building Services Ltd


I'm getting on with it great so far. EstimatorXpress is superb for small jobs and easy enough to use. I've just finished estimating 3 refurbishment jobs, and it was flexible enough to quote for a pub refurb' too.

Steve Whitehead


I'm a builder and not very good with computers. I find it user friendly and really easy to use. HBXL have done a really good job with EstimatorXpress. They've come up trumps!

I would recommend EstimatorXpress to any builder who wants to save time. Before I bought this software, I had no free time. That's the thing I've noticed most with EstimatorXpress - the time it gives me for other things. I always used the old methods: pen, paper etc, but they are no comparison to the software. I would highly recommend it to anyone.

I purchased this software package nearly 3 years ago, to cut down my estimating time and make my company portrait the more professional image. Although the software is not absolutely perfect. What is! It provides every builder of all trades a logical easy to follow and adapt estimating system cutting estimating from a guess to an accurate, trade guided estimate, based on professional time allowances and material usage. Then to top it off, it provides you with a completely professionally prepared and easily changed estimate, no longer do you have to wait for the wife or secretary to type it, it does it for you. Think of the cost savings there alone, no more bribing the wife.In my opinion if you want a family life with a successful business, and you don't buy HBXL then all you will achieve is failure on both. For once you can talk to computer people about the problems you have and not get an answer in gobbldygook, just plain straight forward builder language.

I started my business knowing how to do the work but not easily price it and give timescales. I started cheap on day rate and was a busy fool used by my customers.

With this unease in mind I looked for software or something that would take the pressure and onus off me guessing. I tried price books but spent many hours scanning pages. I then met HBXL at a Toolfair having read about them in a trade magazine. I was impressed with EstimatorXpress and the fact that not only did it have a comprehensive database of jobs, time allowance, labour rates etc. It also included all the little bits I usually forgot to include i.e. fit 3m horizontal copper pipe, fixings at 1m, 3 clips, 3 no 8 screws, plugs, labour drill holes etc. I was very impressed.

I was initially put off by the cost but realised instantly the benefit to my business. A little later I was contacted with an offer to rent. This option suited my small business, and my journey began. I was producing quotes knowing they were accurate to the customer specification given. I now don't feel guiltily about quoting a price, worrying it's too high. I know the costings time schedule are accurate and importantly, what my profit is. The reports are excellent with the option to list every key component and phase of the job.

If a customer asks to compare my price with another trader, I ask them what left out, or missed in their price; I provide a detailed quote that includes everything requested. There is no, "oh that wasn't included", or "that'll be extra" sayings, and if the customer changes something, I can tell them quickly what the cost difference is and produce a variation quote.

Matthew Aldridge
MDA Property Services

I've become a more professional company since buying the software and have won bigger jobs than before. EstimatorXpress makes pricing much easier, ContractsXpress makes me look more professional and Health & Safety Xpert helped me on to the bigger sites.

All these packages saved me bags of time and would definitely recommend HBXL. Easy to use, friendly and reliable customer service!
Gareth Pearce

Initially I thought that EstimatorXpress was expensive but now that I’m using it I’ve started to realise all the things that I might have missed on each job and forgotten about. Plus my work has more than doubled since I got the software, so the software definitely pays for itself. Before EstimatorXpress I guess I used to estimate the ‘back of a fag packet’ method.

I’d work out the materials I need on the job, roughly, I’d try and take a guess at the labour costs based on experience and then hope that it’s about right and that I’d make some money. Now EstimatorXpress costs everything up and I can just go and add my profit, and whereas I was probably winning about 30% of jobs I was quoting for (so 3 out of every 10) I’m now winning 8 out of 10.

Customers have given me feedback about the detail and presentation of my quotes which gives them confidence and swings them in my favour. I’m certainly not the cheapest either! I would recommend EstimatorXpress to any builder I meet!

PlansXpress Testimonials

At last! a software company that actually delivers a first class product with first class support, I spent ages trying different CAD packages and they all disappointed in some way, for example one (cheap) package couldn't draw cavity walls so I tried (and bought!) another one and guess what, it would only draw in feet and inches!

I expanded my search and saw HBXL's advert in Professional Builder magazine and asked for more details and I have to admit the first thing I did was ask how much? Next thing I knew I met the team at the NEC trade show where I was shown just what the software could do and promptly bought it on the spot.

Since then I have been able to produce plans to such a good quality that some people query whether I did it myself! Praise indeed. The next problem I had to address was health and safety but by this time I was so impressed by the techies support on Plans Express (thanks Ed) I was confident enough to order the health & safety package which turned out to be brilliant, we had a serious accident on one of our sites requiring the HSE to investigate and I am glad to say the risk assessments stood up to scrutiny (thank you HBXL).

 I have now purchased the Estimator software and so far so good, when I get stuck I ring them for advice and they always deal with it in a friendly professional way without making you feel daft for asking a simple question. A really good genuine company that share the same ethos as hard working builders, they deserve every success.

I purchased ‘PlansXpress’ software on Friday just gone with an urgent need to provide drawings for architect & engineer submission for approval this Monday (tomorrow).

This letter is written as a way of saying thank you for providing such a straight forward software application that is just so easy to use.
I have another well known AutoCAD package and have tried several times to grasp this software but with no success. I took the plunge only 3 days ago to purchase ‘PlansXpress’ and I’ve found it easy to produce a decent schematic of the plumbing & heating scheme for a combined large domestic property.

I’ve also been using existing pdf plans by adding the pdf as an image to scale to a blank page. I’ve then been able to add drainage runs, water, heating services and much more.
This I found by using the ‘tech tips’ online which really are so very useful and easy to understand. I’m still yet to open the manual I received in the post on Saturday.

I really set myself a mission & goal for achieving a near impossible task by having to learn a new software package and produce professional drawings in just one weekend.

This letter is for other builders and plumbers to say ‘yes, this really is a perfect & easy to use package to assist one’s business’.

Along with ‘EstimatorXpress’ I look forward to mastering all the features with both packages and continue to use and support HBXL.

Many thanks again!

I have used PlansXpress for 3 months now, it was a significant sum so i spent over a month deciding whether to purchase the software, i also invested in  EstimatorXpress & an A1 ink jet colour printer.. I can now save £15,000 a year in architects fees, but where i really win is i can play around with different layouts to my hearts content which means i never have to make any changes once we start physically building, this saves me labour, materials & most importantly time.
The export function allows me to create PDF copies of the drawings which i can quickly and easily e mail to people to get feedback on them. Having the A1 printer I can also print as many copies of drawings off without resorting to the architect so when a change is made everyone can have a new copy straight away.

Nothing beats being in control and drawing the plans yourself. The job gets done right and the job gets done on time. Ideas can be tried and evaluated in a matter of minutes. Even if you still want to use an architect he has a whole new respect for your ideas when he sees your drawings.
James Baxter
Glenhead Developments Ltd


I also use PlansXpress which allows me to produce detailed drawings without having to have a degree in cad design. I used the estimator program more to start off with but one day discovered the ability to quote from PlansXpress. If I draw it, EstimatorXpress prices it. It's fantastic, what a product. The software is brilliant, I win 90% of new customers, and existing customers trust my pricing is spot on.

I recommend you download the trial and ask for an on-line demo. You'll be amazed.

Matthew Aldridge
MDA Property Services


PlansXpress is a great product! I had an online demo before I bought it which was great because it gave me the confidence to go on and purchase the system. I've used other CAD packages in the past but PlansXpress is great because when you draw your wall it fills in the detail you need which other packages don't. You just draw your walls and add in your windows, doors and other bits.

John Breslin

Excellence is an ability, to which the HBXL team easily perform. After purchasing many CAD systems, all have fallen at one hurdle or another! So why purchase another system?

Well it was all down to HBXL`s EstimatorXpress! This piece of estimating software not only saved me time and money but the quotations impress my customers! I’ve won every job I’ve priced since i`ve got it.

So this is the reason I bought the PlansXpress! In three days with the excellent help of the HBXL team I have produced drawings any time-served architect could have produced and be proud of! I wish to thank all involved in producing this software and for the support.

Health & Safety Xpert Testimonials

No-one should underestimate the consequences of non-compliance. Health & Safety Xpert is as easy as it says on the box. In fact it’s the most comprehensive package for the construction industry I’ve ever seen. It’s a must!

The software is marvellous! When I send people the relevant paperwork they actually take the mickey, because what I send to them is so thorough, they think I'm sending them too much! I can usually do the general health & paperwork for the job in the time it takes me to eat my lunch. Health & Safety Xpert saves me hours and I can tailor it to a specific job by simply amending an odd sentence in the risk assessment or the risk numbering. With the method statement I can take out sections that are not relevant and all of the statement is renumbered and repaginated. It has also made me think about the statement more carefully and the risks to staff. We have been doing a job for a national electricity provider who are very hot on health and safety issues, so far since I have sent them the health & safety expert I've had no queries or questions, which is great from our point of view especially as sum of the work is near sub-station cables!

Buy it and try for yourself- it will save you hours and give a very professional image

Now that I've got the names of all my workers into Health & Safety Xpert I can get all the health and safety paperwork I need on a job completed in close to 10 minutes. It's a massive time-saving tool, but that's not to say I'm taking less care on health and safety. In fact, I've started to find out about things I was potentially missing out of my assessments before. It's absolutely brilliant and if you've won a job using HBXL's EstimatorXpress then you can just import the job into Health & Safety Xpert saving even more time. It's another great piece of software from HBXL that saves me no end of time!

Health & Safety Xpert gives builders peace of mind because it gives them an easy-to-use tool to help with producing all their health and safety paperwork. The software is the most comprehensive package I’ve seen and encourages builders to take a more pro-active yet less time-consuming approach to health and safety on every job.The construction industry is under close scrutiny due to the nature of the work involved and I feel that investing in a piece of software such as Health & Safety Xpert is vital to assist builders with identifying potential safety risks on a job, and will help provide the necessary paperwork to perform those checks and become compliant

We were able to produce some perfectly good contracts for smaller jobs but not so much for larger jobs where bigger sums of money were involved. The best thing about ContractsXpert is that it gives a professional edge to the company and covers all the necessary issues which are important to both the client and the builder. Plus they’re ever so easy to produce in the software. Without a doubt, I would recommend ContractsXpert to other building firms!
