The results are in. Our sister company has just conducted a survey with 1) users of EstimatorXpress (the same award-winning estimating software we use for our customer quotes) and 2) builders who have yet to make a purchase.
The outcome? Builders not benefitting from EstimatorXpress quotations are feeling much less hopeful about business going forward than the builders who are presenting the software’s accurate, professional looking quotations.
- The non-users are more anxious whilst users are feeling much positive
- Margins are getting tighter for both groups
- But non-users are absorbing the price rises whilst users are still quoting the full amount.
Concerns by non-users are understandable as the latest FMB State of the Trade Survey proves. And that’s why it’s so important that we cover every single cost relating to the project. We use the latest prices. We recommend the current labour rates. We’ll allow for inflation. And the reports you receive help you keep on top of the job. It means builders can be proud of their prices and customers can feel more confident about giving the job in the first place.
The secret of our success is a combination of over 155 years of building knowledge. And powerful estimating software designed specifically for the construction industry.
