    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:

    The most common use case. XBuild handles:

    • Metal roofing — standing seam, corrugated, metal shingle
    • Flat roofing — TPO, EPDM, modified bitumen
    • Tile roofing — clay, concrete, synthetic
    • Insurance estimating — insurance-formatted reports with POD documentation

    Upload a roof measurement report from EagleView, HOVER, or any source, describe the project, and get a complete estimate.

    How It Works Across All Trades

    The AI estimating process is the same regardless of trade:

    1. Upload measurements — photos, reports, or plans
    2. Describe the project — "paint the interior of a 2,500 sq ft home" or "replace 30 squares of shingle roofing"
    3. Review the estimate — the AI generates materials, labor, and pricing
    4. Create a proposal — branded proposal with Good/Better/Best options
    5. 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 This means your estimates always reflect current market pricing — no more outdated price books or manual price checks.
