CoConstruct Pricing 2026: What Users Pay Now

⚠️ Update: CoConstruct is no longer sold to new customers. New customers are sent to Buildertrend, and existing customers can add projects through March 31, 2027. If you’re a current user, see our CoConstruct shutdown migration guide for next steps.

CoConstruct doesn’t have a price in 2026, because you can’t buy it anymore. So the real question isn’t what CoConstruct costs. It’s what you’ll pay for whatever comes next, whether that’s Buildertrend or something else.

On February 24, 2021, Buildertrend announced it had acquired CoConstruct. Since then, CoConstruct has stopped receiving meaningful updates, support has been cut back, and users are being pushed to migrate to Buildertrend’s platform. Some contractors have reported price increases of 500% along the way. That changes the entire calculus for every CoConstruct user.

We dug into what CoConstruct users now face, reviewed real contractor feedback from Reddit, Capterra, and G2, and compared Buildertrend’s costs against alternatives to give you the full picture.

CoConstruct Pricing in 2026

There are no CoConstruct plans to choose from anymore. Here’s where things stand and what the pricing that replaces it looks like.

CoConstruct Isn’t Sold Anymore

CoConstruct is no longer sold to new customers. If you go looking for it, you’ll be sent to Buildertrend. Existing customers can keep using CoConstruct and can add projects through March 31, 2027.

The specs and selections tools were always CoConstruct’s standout feature, and for a small custom builder they covered the basics well. But for current users, the clock is running, and the cost question has shifted to the platform you’ll move to.

What Buildertrend Costs Instead

As of October 2026, Buildertrend doesn’t publish prices. It quotes a custom price based on your annual construction volume, with unlimited users and projects and no per-user fees, billed annually or quarterly. In February 2026 it offered 10% off for paying a year upfront.

Its last published plans (December 2024) looked like this:

For a sense of scale today, Connecteam (September 2026) estimates about $9,000 to $14,000 a year for a 20-employee builder doing $1M to $5M in annual volume.

Buildertrend doesn’t publish an onboarding fee. When it last published pricing, its “Boost” onboarding added $100 a month on monthly plans and was free on annual plans.

The Elephant in the Room: The Buildertrend Acquisition

You can’t talk about CoConstruct pricing in 2026 without talking about what happened in 2021. On February 24, 2021, Buildertrend announced it had acquired CoConstruct, absorbing its biggest head-to-head competitor in the residential construction software space. At the time, contractors were worried about price increases and product changes.

Those worries turned out to be justified.

Here’s what’s happened since the acquisition:

Development stopped. Multiple reviewers on Capterra have pointed out that CoConstruct is no longer receiving updates. One wrote: “While they say that they won’t sunset the program in the near future, it still feels like it is on a countdown timer before you are forced to switch to Buildertrend.”

Support got gutted. A contractor on Reddit described the situation bluntly: the support team has been reduced to a “skeleton crew working East Coast hours.” If you’re a West Coast builder and you hit a problem at 2 PM Pacific, good luck getting help.

Prices went through the roof. That same Reddit contractor reported a 500% price increase after the acquisition. They wrote: “The price increase doesn’t support the subpar platform and lack of technical support hours available.”

The migration push. CoConstruct’s own website now prominently features messaging about moving to Buildertrend. The homepage reads like a farewell letter, highlighting “the best of both worlds” and encouraging users to make the switch. CoConstruct is no longer sold to new customers, and existing customers can add projects only through March 31, 2027. They’re not even pretending this is business as usual.

Another reviewer on Capterra who left for a different platform summed it up: “BuilderTrend bought out CoConstruct and was forcing its users to migrate to BuilderTrend. BuilderTrend is MUCH more expensive than CoConstruct was, and we didn’t need all of their functionality.”

What This Means for Your Wallet

Let’s be direct about what the acquisition means for your software costs going forward.

If you’re a current CoConstruct user: You can add projects through March 31, 2027. After that, the default path is Buildertrend, which no longer publishes prices. Its last published plans (late 2024) started at $449 a month billed annually, and third-party estimates put a 20-person builder at $9,000 to $14,000 a year. That’s where you’re headed unless you choose something else.

If you were considering signing up for CoConstruct: You can’t. New customers are sent to Buildertrend, so your real choice is between Buildertrend and an alternative.

The Costs That Don’t Show Up on a Pricing Page

Beyond any subscription, here are the hidden costs that catch CoConstruct users off guard.

Data Export Headaches

CoConstruct was built specifically for custom home builders, and years of spec-driven estimates, selections, and project history live inside it. Getting that data out is harder than it should be. Multiple users have reported that CoConstruct doesn’t offer bulk data export. You could end up paying for a platform you no longer use just to access your project history.

The Buildertrend Migration Cost

If (when) you get pushed to Buildertrend, that migration isn’t free in terms of time. You’ll need to learn a new interface, re-train your team, and rebuild your templates and workflows. Even if Buildertrend doesn’t charge a formal migration fee, the productivity hit during the transition is real. Several contractors estimate weeks of disrupted operations during the switch.

What Real Users Are Saying

We didn’t just read the marketing materials. Here’s what contractors are actually saying about CoConstruct across review sites and forums.

On the acquisition fallout (Reddit, 2024):

“They were bought by BuilderTrend and transitioning clients out of CoConstruct but in the meantime have increased monthly costs by 500%. The price increase doesn’t support the subpar platform and lack of technical support hours available.”

On Capterra:

“They are no longer updating CoConstruct. While they say that they won’t sunset the program in the near future, it still feels like it is on a countdown timer before you are forced to switch to BuilderTrend.”

Another Capterra reviewer who migrated away: “BuilderTrend bought out CoConstruct and was forcing its users to migrate to BuilderTrend. BuilderTrend is MUCH more expensive than CoConstruct was, and we didn’t need all of their functionality.”

Thousands of contractors have made the switch away from aging platforms. See what they have to say.

On the original product (before the acquisition):

When CoConstruct was still being actively developed, reviews were generally positive. Contractors praised its spec and selection management, single-entry estimating, and client communication tools. A reviewer on FinancesOnline noted that CoConstruct could “save at least 30 minutes daily” with its integrated approach. The problem isn’t what CoConstruct was. It’s what it’s become.

CoConstruct Timeline: A Pattern Worth Noting

CoConstruct’s history tells a clear story:

• 2015-2019: CoConstruct operated as a standalone company. It built a loyal following among custom home builders.
• 2020: CoConstruct and Buildertrend were direct competitors keeping each other in check.
• 2021: On February 24, Buildertrend announced it had acquired CoConstruct. Contractor forums immediately started buzzing with concerns about price hikes.
• 2022-2023: Users reported dramatic price hikes. Development slowed to a crawl.
• 2024-2025: Users reported increases of up to 500%. Support reduced to skeleton crew. Migration pressure increased.
• Today: CoConstruct is no longer sold to new customers, who are sent to Buildertrend. Existing customers can add projects through March 31, 2027.

The pattern is textbook: acquire the competitor, raise prices, reduce investment, push users to the acquirer’s product. If you’ve seen this play out in other industries, you know how it ends.

Cost Comparison: Buildertrend vs. Projul

Since CoConstruct users are being sent to Buildertrend, that’s the comparison that matters. Here’s what you’d actually pay.

Team of 10 People

The savings: about $600 per year with Projul Core against Buildertrend’s last published entry price, and about $1,200 against its month-to-month rate ($5,988 a year). And Buildertrend’s current price is a quote, so you won’t know your real number until after a sales call.

Team of 20 People

The savings: about $1,800 to $6,800 per year with Projul Core+, which includes job costing and QuickBooks integration. Connecteam’s estimate is for a 20-employee builder doing $1M to $5M in annual volume, and Buildertrend bases its quotes on that volume, so a bigger year can mean a bigger bill.

The real question at any team size isn’t just what you pay today. It’s what you’ll pay next year, and whether you can see that number before you talk to sales.

Hidden Costs of Staying on CoConstruct

Every construction software vendor has costs that don’t appear on the pricing page. CoConstruct is no exception, and some of these hidden costs have gotten worse since the Buildertrend acquisition.

Training Costs

CoConstruct’s self-service training model means you are on your own for getting your team up to speed. There is no dedicated onboarding specialist walking you through the platform. The documentation exists, but with the support team reduced to a skeleton crew, getting answers to specific questions can take days.

For a 15-person team, budget at least 20 to 40 hours of total training time across all users. At a blended labor rate of $50 per hour, that is $1,000 to $2,000 in productivity lost to training. With reduced support, troubleshooting issues during training takes longer, which pushes that number higher.

Some competitors charge separately for onboarding. When Buildertrend last published pricing (late 2024), its Boost onboarding added $100 a month on monthly plans and was free on annual plans. Projul includes onboarding support at no extra cost with annual Core, Core+ and Pro plans, which eliminates this hidden line item.

Price Increases at Renewal

This is the big one. Since the Buildertrend acquisition, CoConstruct users have reported price increases ranging from modest (10 to 20 percent) to extreme (up to 500 percent, as documented on Reddit). There is no published rate lock or price guarantee, and the pattern from the past few years suggests increases are the norm, not the exception.

Integration and Add-On Fees

CoConstruct integrates with QuickBooks, which is included. But if you need integrations with other tools (CRM systems, lead generation platforms, material suppliers), you are typically looking at third-party middleware like Zapier. Zapier’s paid plans start at $19.99 per month and can run much higher depending on how many automations you need.

The Cost of Switching Later

Perhaps the biggest hidden cost of all is the eventual migration. Whether you move to Buildertrend (at their pricing) or to another platform entirely, you will lose time and productivity during the transition. Data export from CoConstruct has been a persistent complaint, with some users reporting difficulty getting their project history out of the system.

Every month you spend building your business processes inside CoConstruct is another month of data, templates, and workflows that become harder to extract later. The switching cost grows over time, which is exactly what creates vendor lock-in.

When to Switch Away from CoConstruct

Existing CoConstruct users can add projects through March 31, 2027, so not every user needs to switch this week. But there are clear signals that it is time to start evaluating alternatives.

You Have Outgrown the Custom Home Focus

CoConstruct was purpose-built for custom home builders and remodelers. Its spec and selection management tools reflect that narrow focus. If your business has expanded into commercial work, multi-family projects, or specialty trades like roofing, siding, or concrete, you will find CoConstruct’s workflows fighting you rather than helping you.

Projul was designed for a broader range of contractors, from custom builders to roofers, remodelers, and general contractors. The scheduling, estimating, and project management tools flex across trade types without forcing you into a custom-home-only workflow.

Per-User Fatigue is Setting In

“Per-user fatigue” is about more than the subscription model. It is about the total cost of supporting each person on the platform.

When your team hits a problem and support takes 48 hours to respond, that is a per-user cost in lost productivity. When new hires spend extra days learning a clunky interface because the training resources are outdated, that is a per-user cost. When your PMs waste time working around bugs that will never be fixed because development has stopped, that is a per-user cost.

If you are spending more time managing the software than managing your projects, the tool has become a liability regardless of what the subscription costs.

Your Renewal Notice Came with a Price Hike

If you opened your renewal email and the number was meaningfully higher than last year, take it as a signal. The pattern of post-acquisition price increases shows no signs of stopping. Each renewal is an opportunity to evaluate whether you are getting enough value to justify the new price.

Run the numbers against current alternatives. If Projul or another platform delivers equal or better functionality at a lower or comparable price with active development and real support, the math speaks for itself.

You Need Features That Are Never Coming

If you have been waiting for CoConstruct to add a feature (better mobile experience, native CRM, improved reporting, API enhancements), stop waiting. Development is frozen. The feature requests sitting in CoConstruct’s backlog are never going to ship.

Make a list of the capabilities your business needs over the next two to three years. If CoConstruct cannot deliver them today, it will not deliver them tomorrow. Compare that list against what Projul offers and what is on Projul’s active development roadmap.

The Buildertrend Migration Email Arrived

If you have received communication from CoConstruct or Buildertrend about migrating to the Buildertrend platform, treat it as your official notice. The clock is ticking. You can either migrate to Buildertrend on their timeline and at their pricing, or you can take control of the process and move to a platform of your choosing.

Moving on your own terms means you get to evaluate all options, negotiate pricing, and plan the transition during a slow period rather than being forced into it during your busiest season.

CoConstruct vs. Competitors: 2026 Feature Comparison

To put CoConstruct in full context, here is how it compares against the major alternatives contractors are evaluating in 2026.

Side-by-Side Features

Buildertrend: The Inevitable Comparison

Since CoConstruct users are being sent to Buildertrend, this comparison matters most. Buildertrend’s last published entry plan was $449 per month billed annually ($5,388 per year), already more than Projul’s Core plan at $4,788 per year for up to 10 users.

For a 20-person team, third-party estimates put Buildertrend at $9,000 to $14,000 per year. Projul’s Core+ plan covers up to 20 users with job costing and QuickBooks integration for $7,188 per year. That is a savings of about $1,800 to $6,800 per year, every year.

Contractor Foreman: A Starter Option

For a solo operator or a two-person crew just getting started with digital project management, Contractor Foreman covers the basics. But it lacks the depth needed for serious estimating, job costing, or client management at scale. Most contractors outgrow it within a year or two of growth.

Where Projul Wins on Value

For most small and mid-size teams, Projul delivers a strong combination of features, pricing, and active development:

• No per-user fees at any tier, with unlimited users on Pro, as you grow
• Built-in CRM eliminates the need for a separate tool
• Same-day adoption means no weeks of setup before you see value
• Active development means the platform improves every month
• Projul AI Connect on Pro lets ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini add leads, draft estimates, and shift the schedule in Projul, with drafts waiting for your team’s review
• Transparent pricing means no surprise increases at renewal

For contractors evaluating their options after CoConstruct, Projul represents the most predictable and complete value in the market. Book a demo and see the difference for yourself.

Is CoConstruct Worth It in 2026? Our Honest Take

Here’s the bottom line.

Staying on CoConstruct for now might still work if:

• You’re an existing user who’s locked into a reasonable rate
• Your workflows are built around CoConstruct’s spec-driven estimating and you’re not ready to switch
• You can plan your move before March 31, 2027, the last day existing customers can add projects
• You don’t need new features or active platform development

CoConstruct isn’t an option if:

• You’re shopping for new construction software (CoConstruct is no longer sold to new customers)
• You’re a small to mid-size contractor who needs reliable support
• You care about data portability and want to own your project records
• You want a platform that’s actively improving
• You’ve already been hit with price increases and are tired of the uncertainty
• You don’t want to learn CoConstruct now and Buildertrend later

For most contractors reading this in 2026, CoConstruct isn’t something you can sign up for, and for existing users it has an expiration date. The software itself was solid. The specs and selections tools were best-in-class for custom builders. But “was solid” isn’t a great selling point when you’re planning the next few years of your business.

Alternatives to CoConstruct

If you’d rather not default into Buildertrend, here are your best options.

Projul (Best Value for Small to Mid-Size Contractors)

Projul was built by a contractor who got tired of software that was either too expensive, too complicated, or both. Plans start at $2,388/year with no per-user fees. Across its plans, it includes CRM, estimating, scheduling, time tracking, job costing, invoicing, and QuickBooks integration.

Where Projul really stands out over CoConstruct is adoption speed and active development. Your field crew can be using it by lunch on their first day. The mobile app is built for people wearing gloves and standing in the sun, not sitting at a desk. And you’ll never wake up to an email saying you need to migrate to a different platform.

Its last published plans (late 2024) started at $449/month billed annually, and third-party estimates put a 20-person builder at $9,000 to $14,000 a year. Unlimited users and no per-user fees. Strong feature set for production builders. Read our full Buildertrend pricing breakdown for the details.

JobTread

Good option for contractors who want strong estimating and financial tracking. Worth a look if financials are your primary need.

Contractor Foreman

Covers the basics but lacks the depth of CoConstruct or Projul for growing companies. Good for very small operations just getting started with software.
