Custom Builder XPM
XPM Custom Builder XPM Project Estimation Software is a proprietary software system developed by Linwood for the custom home industry. Custom Builder XPM generates accurate estimation information for building a custom home. Estimates generated by XPM help homeowners understand the difference between “home construction costs” and “total project costs”.
