Una Plataforma, 10+ Oficios: Cómo XBuild Funciona para Cada Contratista

Not Just Another Roofing Tool

Most estimating software in the construction industry is built for one trade — usually roofing. If you're a multi-trade contractor, or if you work in painting, concrete, HVAC, or any other specialty, you've probably struggled to find a tool that fits your workflow.

XBuild is different. It's an AI-powered estimating platform that works across 10+ construction trades from a single interface. No switching between tools. No trade-specific software licenses. One platform for everything.

Every Trade XBuild Supports

Here's a breakdown of the trades XBuild supports and how AI estimating works for each:

How It Works Across All Trades

The AI estimating process is the same regardless of trade:

Upload measurements — photos, reports, or plans
Describe the project — "paint the interior of a 2,500 sq ft home" or "replace 30 squares of shingle roofing"
Review the estimate — the AI generates materials, labor, and pricing
Create a proposal — branded proposal with Good/Better/Best options
Close the deal — e-sign and payment collection built in

Real-Time Supplier Pricing Across Trades

XBuild integrates with ABC Supply, SRS, and QXO for real-time material pricing. This means your estimates always reflect current market pricing — no more outdated price books or manual price checks.
