Pricing & cost

Pricing ModelCoConstruct pricing is quote-only and not publicly published on its website following its acquisition by Buildertrend. Historically, CoConstruct utilized a flat monthly subscription model based on active job sites (projects with online client access), offering unlimited users with no per-seat fees. ↗

Typical CostPricing requires a custom quote. Third-party benchmarks show promotional introductory pricing starting at $99/month for the first two months (Standard plan), with regular tiered rates ranging from $199/month to $599/month depending on active project volume (e.g., Core at $199/month, Essential/Plus at $399/month, and Advanced/Plus 15 at $499–$599/month). ↗

Api Or Integration FeesStandard integrations with QuickBooks and Xero are included in core subscription packages. Custom API access and third-party integration setup fees are estimated at $3,000 to $20,000+ depending on project scope, with ongoing API connectivity/integration access fees adding $50 to $500/month. ↗

Implementation CostImplementation and onboarding setup ranges from $2,000 to $10,000 for small construction firms and $10,000 to $25,000 for larger builders. Optional onboarding expenses include data migration ($1,500–$8,000) and administrative/team training ($1,000–$8,000). Certain legacy tier packages (e.g., PLUS starting at $399/month) bundled white-glove implementation and coaching sessions. ↗

API & data access

Has ApiCoConstruct does not offer an open or active API for new developers. While existing legacy API connections continue to be maintained, official policy states that API development is paused and no new users or applications are permitted to connect. ↗

Api Access GatingAccess is completely gated and unavailable to new applicants or tier upgrades. CoConstruct does not approve new integration requests, issue new API access, or connect new users to existing endpoints. ↗

Api LimitationsAPI development is frozen, meaning no new endpoints are established, no updates or fixes are made to existing endpoints, public API documentation is not published, and new user connections are blocked. ↗

Data Export OptionsData can be extracted manually through native export features: users can export leads and summary tables directly to CSV files, export financial and project reports to Excel or PDF formats, and utilize the 'Download Project Data' feature (Settings > Account > Other Settings) to receive an emailed ZIP archive of raw project data (excluding photos and files). Bulk document and photo exports are not supported natively and require manual per-project downloads. ↗

Native AI features

Ai Features SummaryCoConstruct has essentially no native AI features as of 2025–2026. Following its 2021 acquisition by Buildertrend, active platform development transitioned to maintenance mode while parent company Buildertrend encouraged customer migration to its main platform (which received AI features like AI Client Updates in 2025). CoConstruct itself relies entirely on legacy rules-based automation for templating, schedule updates, and proposal generation, without native generative AI, AI takeoff/estimating, or conversational AI capabilities. ↗

Ai DispatchCoConstruct does not offer native AI-powered dispatching or AI scheduling. It uses traditional Gantt-chart project scheduling with manual task dependencies and automated, rule-based notification triggers when dates change, but lacks predictive scheduling, automated trade routing, or AI fleet/dispatch optimization. ↗

Ai FinanceCoConstruct does not offer native AI invoicing, AI invoice capture/OCR, or AP/AR automation. It features legacy financial tools for budgeting, estimates, and QuickBooks synchronization, requiring third-party integrations (such as inBuild.ai) for AI-driven invoice data extraction and AP workflows. ↗

Ai Assistant Or McpCoConstruct does not offer a native AI assistant, conversational copilot, AI call handling/CSR, or Model Context Protocol (MCP) server interface. ↗

Integrations & ecosystem

Accounting IntegrationsCoConstruct features a native, built-in two-way integration with Intuit QuickBooks (QuickBooks Online and Windows-based QuickBooks Desktop) and Xero. The accounting-to-field integration is native, handling sync for estimates, purchase orders, bills, change orders, time tracking, and budget actuals. It does not provide native out-of-the-box connections to enterprise accounting platforms such as Sage Intacct or Foundation. ↗

MarketplaceCoConstruct does not maintain a public app store or software marketplace. It provides a partner network directory composed of certified consulting, accounting, training, and marketing partners. ↗

Unified Api SupportCoConstruct is supported by Agave, a construction-specific unified API platform that enables reading and writing project and financial data. Merge.dev does not support CoConstruct. ↗

Accounting fit & implementation

Certified PayrollCoConstruct does not natively support certified payroll or prevailing wage (Davis-Bacon Act) compliance reporting. Contractors requiring certified payroll WH-347 reports must handle them through dedicated third-party payroll compliance integrations or external accounting software. ↗

Accounting MethodCoConstruct is not a standalone general ledger accounting application. It operates via bi-directional integration with accounting platforms such as QuickBooks Online and QuickBooks Desktop, allowing contractors to run either cash-basis or accrual-basis accounting depending on how their connected accounting system is configured. ↗

Wip Poc SupportCoConstruct supports Work-in-Progress (WIP) and percentage-of-completion tracking by capturing project budgets, actual costs incurred, change orders, and progress billings, feeding this data into connected accounting software to help generate WIP schedules. ↗

Implementation TimeOnboarding and full implementation typically take between 2 and 8 weeks (roughly 1 to 2 months), depending on firm size, data migration, and template setup. ↗

Requires ImplementerA paid third-party implementer or VAR is not strictly required, as CoConstruct provides internal onboarding specialists and implementation coaches. However, optional paid consulting and certified partner services (such as QuickBooks ProAdvisor setup calls) are available. ↗

Adoption & market position

Market PositionCoConstruct is a construction management software platform designed for custom home builders and remodelers. In February 2021, it was acquired by Buildertrend (backed by Bain Capital Tech Opportunities and HGGC) to form the largest software player in the U.S. residential construction management market. ↗

Customer ScaleAt the time of its acquisition in February 2021, the combined Buildertrend and CoConstruct entity served over 23,000 builder clients and more than 1.1 million total users, facilitating over $200 billion in annual construction project value and generating over $100 million in annual recurring revenue (ARR). ↗

MomentumLegacy/Declining. Following its acquisition by Buildertrend in 2021, CoConstruct was effectively put into maintenance mode, receiving minimal product updates or new feature development as users are encouraged to migrate to Buildertrend or alternative modern construction platforms. ↗
