Buildxact — residential construction estimating and project management software (Melbourne, Australia). An API Evangelist profile covering Buildxact's Public REST API, webhooks, pricing, rate limits, and integration surface.
Founded in 2011 in Melbourne, Buildxact serves residential builders, remodelers, trade contractors, and building-material suppliers across Australia, New Zealand, the UK, the US, and Canada.
