Case Study: Plans Express boosts design turnaround and work-life balance with HBXL Building Software

How Plansxpress Has Changed Darren’s Life

Plans Express, run by owner Darren Black, faced the challenge of moving on from decades of physically demanding on-site building work and streamlining their design and costing processes for extensions and loft conversions. The company turned to HBXL Building Software and its PlansXpress and EstimatorXpress products to find a more efficient and professional solution.

By adopting HBXL's software, Plans Express was able to rapidly produce detailed designs and full cost breakdowns for clients. The solution from HBXL enabled Darren to completely transition from manual labor to a dedicated design role, dramatically reducing plan turnaround times from weeks to just a few days. This shift allowed the business to take on a consistent volume of 2-3 plans per week, improving work-life balance and leading to a successful new venture.
