Buildxact

Buildxact is a Melbourne, Australia-headquartered construction estimating and project management SaaS for residential builders, remodelers, trade contractors, and building-material suppliers. Founded in 2011, the company operates regional offices in Austin, Texas (North America), and serves customers across Australia, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, the United States, and Canada. The platform spans the full residential job lifecycle — lead capture, digital takeoffs, AI-assisted estimating ("Blu"), customer quoting and e-signatures, supplier/dealer price-list integration, purchase orders, scheduling (Gantt), timesheets, variations/change orders, invoicing, and two-way accounting sync with Xero and QuickBooks Online. Buildxact exposes a public REST API and webhook surface at developer.buildxact.com, available to Merchant and Manufacturer partners as well as customer subscribers, using a Microsoft Azure API Management gateway (Ocp-Apim-Subscription-Key + bearer token). Endpoints support OData filtering and sorting, with a separate UAT/staging environment. In 2024, Autodesk announced an agreement to acquire Buildxact, positioning the product as a residential construction front-end alongside Autodesk's broader AEC portfolio.

Buildxact publishes 5 API contracts indexed on the APIs.io network, including Webhooks, Authentication API, Estimate Items API, and 2 more. Tagged areas include Construction, Residential Construction, Construction Management, Estimating, and Takeoffs.

The Buildxact catalog on APIs.io includes 1 event-driven AsyncAPI specification, 1 JSON-LD context, and 3 Spectral governance rulesets.

Buildxact’s developer surface includes authentication, pricing, engineering blog, GitHub presence, and 24 more developer resources.

scored 2026-11-06 · rubric v0.27.0
Regulatory Posture applies to this provider. Its tags matched the Horizontal (data, software, accessibility, platform) regime, so Regulatory Posture carries 15 points of the composite. If this regime is wrong for your business, say so on your provider repo — the applicability map is public and we will correct it.
Create-or-Update Ergonomics applies to this provider. This API accepts writes, so it carries 10 points of the composite. It is scored from the published contracts themselves: whether a caller can create-or-update in one call, whether the write accepts a key the caller already holds, and whether the response says which branch ran. Without that, every write needs a search-and-branch in front of it, and the first time that check is skipped a duplicate record is created. Scored against the observed mean rather than raw — a provider at the catalog average is unchanged by this facet, not penalised by it.
The six quality facets above are damped to 75 points between them, because the conditional facet above carries the other 25. That is why each facet's contribution is shown against a damped maximum: raising a quality facet moves the composite by 75% of its nominal weight, not 100%. The full arithmetic is at apis.io/rating/.

Agent readiness — checks not met, largest first (exact, from this profile):
  • MCP Server +12 pts — deployment.mode + probe verdict on the mcp/ manifest, not the pointer; an unprobed slug falls back to authorship
  • Idempotency +9 pts — OpenAPI mutating operations declare an idempotency key — a header, a request-body property, or a named de-duplication token whose own description says so (verified); else common[].type matches /idempoten/i (documented)
  • Stable Error Semantics +8 pts — OpenAPI $refs a shared error schema across 4xx/5xx responses (verified), else common[].type includes ErrorCatalog / ErrorCodes / DeclineCodes
  • A2A Agent Card +8 pts — a2a/-a2a.yml manifest, graded on conformance.grade against A2A 1.0.0
  • Request/Response Examples +7 pts — share of operations carrying request/response examples; else an Examples / Code Samples link
  • Registration Without a Human +6 pts — a `registration_endpoint` in the served RFC 8414 / OIDC discovery document

Improve this rating by publishing the missing artifacts — every area above can be raised, and the full rubric is at apis.io/rating/. Every facet and dimension name above is a link: it opens that measurement's own page — what it means, the exact checks that feed it, how the whole catalog distributes on it, and the providers at the top of it.

Markets this provider is in provisional

The Kin Score Market layer reads a provider inside its market: its position, and how deep its integrations go. Depth is only comparable within a position. Provisional and unweighted: not part of the Kin Score or agent readiness.

Registered MCP server and declares compatibility are report only — not weighted. Undeclared means we found nothing we can read, so there is no number: we never infer integrations.

Standards implemented 2

Standards this provider implements or carries. De facto ones are profiled and measured by the API Commons; formal ones come from the standards directory and are linked by the provider's own tags. The evidence column says how each claim was established — not that it was made.
