Done with Buildxact?
Meet CREW25.
The AI platform that turns your takeoff into a quote and runs the crew through to the invoice.
14-day free trial, no credit card required.
AI that runs your office, not another software
Ask in plain words, typed or spoken. It works from your own jobs, schedule, hours and price book, and checks with you before it changes anything.
Your admin, done by 9:30
Ask for today’s jobs, what’s overdue, a quote or the week’s hours. Anything important, it checks with you first.
Quotes from a sentence
Say the job on site and CREW25 AI drafts the quote from your own price book, ready for you to check and send.
Knows the margin mid-job
Labour is costed as hours are approved, so a job running over shows while there’s still time for a variation.
Paid without the chasing
Reminders go out until the invoice is paid, and payments come back from Xero and card payments by themselves.
