James D Taylor QS Ltd - Customer Case Study

James D Taylor QS Ltd, a quantity surveying business, faced significant challenges with a time-consuming and potentially inaccurate manual estimating process using Excel spreadsheets. Owner James Taylor sought a more efficient solution to reduce the 4-5 days spent on each quote and to achieve a better work-life balance. He turned to HBXL Building Software and adopted their EstimatorXpress and PlansXpress products.

HBXL's software provided a solution that automated calculations and integrated detailed drawing tools, which mirrored James's own methods but in a fraction of the time. The implementation, supported by HBXL's responsive technical team, resulted in a dramatic reduction in time spent on estimates. James gained confidence in the figures and anticipated cutting his quoting time from several days to just one. The visual tools also improved client communication. HBXL's software directly enabled the business to operate more efficiently and plan for future growth.
