Buildxact has unveiled its AI Estimator Calculator for construction projects. The Buildxact AI Estimator Calculator is designed for residential building and remodeling pros, allowing them to build out project requirements and price those requirements using live material pricing from Home Depot’s catalogs.
Buildxact has now implemented AI to further simplify the estimating process for building pros, allowing users to describe their project and associated units of measure (UOM) in everyday language and terminology to generate an initial estimate with all relevant, localized Home Depot material quantities, pricing and SKUs in 30 seconds.
AI Estimator Calculator Features
- Users can create assemblies based on simple inputs. This feature helps prevent common assembly mistakes, such as quoting for a door install but forgetting about the door stop.
- Users can convert UOM. In one click, a builder can figure out how many square feet or linear feet they need of a certain supply, including the quantity of that material and the total cost.
The AI Estimator Calculator also provides users with notes on how calculations are made. Adjustments can be made through AI prompts and suggestions provided by Buildxact or the builder can do it on their own, without AI assistance.

“At Buildxact, we’ve made construction estimating quick and simple for builders, and now we’ve made it easier for builders to work seamlessly with AI,” said Steve Yates, Buildxact CEO. “With Buildxact, setup time is now lower than ever, so our builders can bid and win more work using the most accurate pricing from The Home Depot.”
Home Depot pricing within Buildxact is updated at the click of a button. Builders have access to pricing, as prices are based on relevant market conditions when users select their local Home Depot pricing catalog.
“Pricing is a critical element of every estimate, and now Buildxact makes it easy to get the most accurate pricing from one of the most reliable and trusted material dealers in the U.S.,” said Yates.
