Discover the top features of PlansXpress that could be the missing tool in your belt:

1. 3D Models and Visualisation

One of the standout features of CAD drawing with PlansXpress is its 3D modelling capabilities. You can create stunning 3D visuals that not only look great but also help your clients visualise the final product. Imagine being able to show a client exactly what their new extension, home or conversion will look like, complete with detailed elements like ridge tiles, gutters, and parapet walls. It's a surefire way to impress and win more jobs.

2. Incredible Roof Drawing Tools

Roofing can be a pain for builders in CAD drawing. PlansXpress simplifies this with its advanced roof drawing tools. Whether you’re dealing with Apex, Valley, Mansard, or Gambrel roofs, the software handles it all. You can easily tweak roof designs—changing pitches, altering soffit widths, or switching styles—without having to start from scratch. This is a massive time-saver, especially when clients change their minds mid-project.

3. Integrated Estimation with EstimatorXpress

Worried about keeping projects within budget? PlansXpress integrates seamlessly with EstimatorXpress, allowing you to estimate costs accurately as you design. This integration is invaluable, helping you avoid costly mistakes and ensuring that your quotes are both competitive and profitable. It’s like having an extra set of eyes on your budget, keeping everything in check – tracing over plans, automatic estimates and up-to-date material prices.

4. User-Friendly and Builder-Focused

You don’t need a degree in architecture or a background in complex CAD systems to use PlansXpress. CAD drawing is made easy for builders - it’s user-friendly and intuitive, meaning you can jump right in and start creating professional-quality plans. Whether you're working on extensions, loft conversions, or new builds, the software lets you produce detailed drawings without the headache of mastering complicated commands.

5. Save Time and Money

By handling your designs in-house with PlansXpress, you cut down on the need for expensive architects. This not only saves money but also gives you more control over your projects and creates more appeal to clients if you are a one-stop shop. By streamlining processes, creating 3D models, and integrating quotes into plans, the software reduces the need for outsourcing and speeds up project planning. It simplifies the design-to-build transition, allowing builders to create professional plans without extensive CAD knowledge, which in turn enhances project efficiency and client satisfaction.
