Description
For over three decades, The Building Software Co. has been crafting software tailored for builders and related trades, collaborating with both large and small construction firms across New Zealand and Australia. The company’s journey began in the late 1980s when a builder with a passion for computers recognized the need for a software solution that could simplify the laborious process of estimating and quoting for building projects. This realization led to the development of a unique software program to meet this specific need. The initial version of BuildMaster was launched in 1987, and since then, the company has committed itself to ongoing enhancements to ensure it remains the premier software of its kind in the Australasian market. Users can efficiently calculate quantities with pre-defined formulas, utilize pricing from their selected suppliers, and generate professional, precise quotations for their clients, all contributing to smoother project management. As the software has evolved, it has become an indispensable tool for the construction industry, significantly improving productivity and accuracy.
