Better value for all contractor types

Not just for custom home builders

Contractor Foreman was designed by contractors for contractors—all types. CoConstruct costs $199- $399/month and specializes in custom home building, offering detailed client selection options. If you’re not building custom homes, you’re paying for a niche you don’t need.

RFIs and submittals included

Document management for all project types

Contractor Foreman includes RFI (Request for Information) and Submittals management as standard features—critical for commercial work, GC projects, and any job requiring formal documentation and approvals. CoConstruct focuses more on client selections and residential workflows, making it less suited for projects that require strong RFI and submittal processes.

Faster setup, easier learning curve

Get up and running quickly

Contractor Foreman comes standard with free training, responsive support, and an interface that makes sense from day one. CoConstruct’s steep learning curve and complex initial setup make it hard for crews to adopt, especially when they’re unfamiliar with custom homebuilding workflows.

Where users think CoConstruct falls short

CoConstruct is excellent for custom home builders who need detailed client selection management, but it’s expensive, has a steep learning curve, and may not be a good fit for contractors outside that niche.

Multi-Month Migration to Buildertrend

CoConstruct users face a 4+ month transition to Buildertrend—including data formatting, dual-platform usage, and learning a completely new system. You'll run active projects in CoConstruct while starting new ones in Buildertrend, then eventually migrate to Buildertrend pricing. Why invest months learning a platform that's being phased out?

Built specifically for custom home builders

CoConstruct is unapologetically focused on custom residential building and remodeling. If you're a commercial contractor, trade subcontractor, or doing work that doesn't involve extensive client selections, you're paying for features that don't apply to your business.

Higher entry price point

For smaller contractors or those just getting started with software, the entry-point price difference adds up quickly.
