Customers respond better to visuals and drawings of the job than verbal descriptions. So, if you can provide plans, 2D elevations and 3D models you’re far more likely to win the work. With PlansXpress you can produce professional working drawings for planning applications and building regulation submissions.
PlansXpress comes with a fantastic selection of construction drawing tools and architectural symbols that you simply click, drag and drop onto your drawing. You can also scan existing drawings, or import other CAD files to draw amends, add new structures or trace over the existing designs to produce 3D models.
PlansXpress has unique pre-built construction systems which cut down the time it takes to draw walls, roofs, doors, windows, slabs and more. It can be used for all types of trades. It's specifically developed to draw houses, extensions, renovations, roofs, lofts, dormers or use to show room layouts, services and more.
As you draft your plan a 3D version builds on screen simultaneously. So you can see how your design is looking as you go. Using the Elevations tool it's just a few clicks and PlansXpress will automatically add 2D elevations to your plans too allowing you to add quoins, feature brickwork, cills and more.
Unique to HBXL software, you can link PlansXpress with EstimatorXpress Trade UK Exclusive edition. This enables an estimating revolution, which we call "Visual Estimating”. This means you can scan and trace over a set of plans and EstimatorXpress will read all the dimensions and turn it into an instant estimate and quote - half the effort and twice the benefit.
Bring your PlansXpress drawings to life with the 3D PhotoVisualiser plug-in. One single mouse click and you have stunning, crisp, photorealistic rendering that will wow your customers and more than satisfy the planning department! This exciting 3D module is well worth the upgrade.
