Another Builder Success Story: Premium Project Toolkit

Charles Okell, Managing Director of UK Pro-Build Ltd in Cheshire saw HBXL as the software company with the right tools to help him modernise his entire business operations.


After careful research he invested in the Premium Project Toolkit to demonstrate the professionalism of his growing business. 

Read Charles' own word-for-word account of his HBXL experience below:

“I heard about HBXL through the Trade UK website and ‘Professional Builder’ magazine. As a company, we’d been looking for a way to make our quotes a lot more accurate – as materials costs have been very much on the increase. We also wanted to improve our customer-face after investing in a new website, branded clothing and vehicles – we were looking to complete the package with professional quotes and contracts.

“Having reviewed the HBXL website in detail, I visited the HBXL office for a software demonstration and feedback session. I was very impressed.

“I then ‘challenged HBXL’ and used their Estimating Service to estimate for a very complex job so we could see what HBXL software had to offer. The end result was both accurate and very in keeping with the image we are looking to present. 

“I worked with Matt to put together the package we needed – he organised a deposit and a balance payment that matched our incoming invoices. Matt was one of the best sales people I have ever encountered – he always rang when he said he would and never ‘pushed’ the product. My whole experience of the HBXL team,  including the support I received from the tech guys and the Estimating Service estimators, was great – they are clearly used to dealing with builders and know how to fit communications around our busy working lives!

“We’ve now taken delivery of the full suite of software and are confident that it has been a worthwhile investment into our company’s future. We are in the process of pitching for new work whilst getting to grips with the software and will be looking to book a training session later in the year to hone our skills.

“Once we’ve got to grips with the package, we’d like to incorporate CIA Accounts software into our business. We hope our more sophisticated quoting will lead to a surge in work and a greater demand for an integrated accounting system.

“We know this will be a big year of learning – but we are very much looking forward to a long-term relationship with HBXL and their software.”
