Why choose EstimatorXpress Self Build edition?
#1. Seriously simple to use
Designed for the computer novice you simply input dimensions and quantities into on-screen drawings and the Estimate Wizard guides you quickly through creation of the estimate. Better still, you can import a complete set of plans when you combine EstimatorXpress with PlansXpress Self Build edition to make your estimating even quicker, and EstimatorXpress does the hard work for you with its rapid estimating calculators that cost and quantify all your materials, labour and plant.

And if you have PlansXpress you don’t even need to input the dimensions – you either draw the plans, scan existing plans or import a cad file and trace over.
#2. 100% accurate estimates
If you want to eliminate guesswork, read on. EstimatorXpress has thousands of thoroughly tested in-built estimating calculators which are constantly checked and reviewed for accuracy. The software doesn't make mistakes and it won't make errors in overlooking VAT, wastage or critical costs.
The estimate you produce could potentially be more accurate than the builders you get quotes from and you'll be able to justify every quote that comes in and ensure you don't get ripped off! Better still, your builder might already be using the professional edition of EstimatorXpress which will allow you to share estimate data, costs and project manage together!
