03 / Before you decide
A few practical questions.
Bring your existing process to a demo and see how the records and responsibilities would fit.
Is Stelix a Buildxact alternative?
For some builders. Buildxact centres on takeoffs, estimating and quoting with project management. Stelix centres on running the whole job after the work is won: delivery, commercial records, safety, quality and handover evidence, alongside estimates and budgets.
Which is better for estimating and takeoffs?
Buildxact puts estimating first, with automated takeoffs, its Blu AI assistant and live supplier pricing. If quoting speed is your main problem, look closely at Buildxact.
Which is better for quality, safety and handover records?
Stelix. It records inspections, hold and witness points, defects and corrective actions, contractor competency, completion information and client sign-off against each project.
How much do they cost?
Stelix offers custom packages and the full platform with monthly pricing including GST (see /pricing). Buildxact lists Foundation, Pro and Master plans; check buildxact.com for current pricing.
Can I see Stelix with my own jobs?
Yes. Book a demo and bring a real project, your accounting tools and your document intake process so you can judge the fit.
