One platform that speaks the language of the jobsite
From the first takeoff to the final walk, on one job record.
Most contractors run the bid in one tool, the job in another, and the client over email. xBid and xBuild share one engine, so the work carries straight through.
Bid the work
Price the job in xBid with your own cost library, turn the estimate into a clean proposal, and send it the same day. Your numbers, your markup, your history.
Build the job
xBuild runs the project from there: RFIs, submittals, change orders, daily logs, schedule, and job costing, all tied to the same job and the same drawings.
Keep the client close
A client portal shows the owner the parts you choose. Photos lead, progress stays clear, and you decide what stays in house.
Price the work, line by line.
Two variants on one engine, depending on which side of the invitation you are on. Both build the bid from your own costs and hand you the letter at the end.

The number goes out at two.
One ledger for the whole bid, material and labor split on the self-perform lines, sub packages out to your list, and the bids back side by side with the low one flagged.
- 35 CSI divisions
- Sub bids leveled in place
- Markup stack in your order
It is 10 at night. Price the job.
Every general contractor’s invitations in one inbox, takeoff on the sheet, and labor priced by your crew at your rate. The number is yours; the paperwork is ours.
- Every trade, one inbox
- Labor by crew hours
- Proposal PDF from the record
Run the job on one record.
Two variants on one engine, depending on which side of the job you run. Both keep the schedule, the paper, and the field on a record the whole company reads.

The owner calls at four. The answer is on one screen.
One record per job: the schedule against the plan, the budget frozen from the bid you won, RFIs and submittals with the ball in court named, the daily field record, and a client portal you control.
- One record per job
- Ball in court on every item
- The won bid becomes the budget
In October they ask about March 12. The record answers.
Your side of every job, on the record: daily reports filed from the site, crews and deliveries with the ticket number, punch and photos on the day, and the GC paper answered from your record.

Own your tools. Own your data. For life.
The big platforms rent you access to your own jobs and raise the bill every year. xBid and xBuild are built the other way. You buy the platform, you keep it, and the work you put in stays with your company.
A license for life
Approved companies buy the platform once and keep it. No per-seat fee that grows every time you hire.
Your data stays yours
Estimates, costs, drawings, and job history belong to your company. Export it any time, in full.
Self-host or hosted
Run it on your own server or let us host it. A solo contractor can stand it up on a small box.
No rent forever
You are buying a tool, not renting access to your own work. The cost does not reset every year.
Run it your way.Own your stack, and your data.
One lifetime license. Host it on your own box or let us run it for you. Either way the tools are yours to keep and the data is yours to export, with no per-seat rent and no one holding your job files.
