CoConstruct Is Shutting Down: What GCs Should Know Before They Migrate

The CoConstruct Wind-Down Timeline

Why the Buildertrend Path Won't Fit Everyone the Same Way

Migrating to Buildertrend is the path of least resistance, since CoConstruct built it for you. Buildertrend's team handles onboarding, your historical data stays viewable, and for some builders that default path will be the right call.

The main thing worth understanding clearly is the pricing model itself. CoConstruct users are being migrated onto Buildertrend's Annual Project Volume (APV) pricing rather than a flat monthly fee, which scales with the size and dollar volume of the projects you build rather than staying fixed. Here's what that model looks like in practice.

Whether that model works in your favor depends on where your business sits. For a very small shop with modest build volume, APV pricing can land lower than a flat-rate platform. For a business that's growing quickly, the same model means your software cost rises in step with your revenue, which is worth factoring into a multi-year decision rather than just this year's quote.

What CoConstruct Users Actually Valued

CoConstruct built a loyal following among custom builders and remodelers for specific reasons: it felt built for the way custom work actually happens rather than for a large enterprise's procurement process. Clients could follow along without a tutorial. Selections, client communication, and estimates lived close together.

That's exactly why this transition is a bigger decision than a routine software switch for a lot of builders. It's less about the tool itself and more about finding a replacement that fits the business the way CoConstruct once did, rather than a default that was chosen for you.

Why Some CoConstruct Users Are Looking at Billdr Instead

For a builder coming off CoConstruct, the appeal lines up with what mattered before: an approachable, connected system rather than a sprawling enterprise tool. Billdr also brings something CoConstruct never had and Buildertrend does not currently offer, as of mid-2026: an integrated AI team, Bob, Bruno, and Billie, that actively does parts of the operational work rather than just organizing it. Bob monitors every active project in real time, Bruno builds detailed estimates from your price book, and Billie, currently rolling out to early access, handles inbound lead qualification.

Bruno reads your plans and builds a scope of work from your actual price book and past quotes, the way you would brief a new estimator. Bob watches every active job and flags the expiring bid, the unapproved change order, and the overdue invoice without you having to go looking for it. None of that requires configuring automations or bolting on a third AI tool. It's built into the core platform.

Pricing: Billdr vs Buildertrend's Migration Terms

A quick note before the numbers: Billdr bills in your local currency, CAD for Canadian customers and USD for U.S. customers, rather than a single currency with a converted estimate. Buildertrend prices in USD. The figures below reflect that local pricing directly.

Estimated monthly cost as build volume grows. Billdr's flat, tiered pricing stays predictable. Buildertrend's Annual Project Volume model rises with your business.

How Steep Is the Learning Curve?

Price is only part of the switching cost. How fast your team can actually get comfortable in the new platform matters just as much, especially mid-migration, when you can't afford weeks of lost productivity on active jobs.

Average workflow adoption over the first 12 weeks. Billdr GCs typically reach full adoption faster than what's typical for traditional enterprise construction platforms.

What About Migrating Your Data?

Switching software after years on one platform is rarely about the new tool itself. It's about the move: the historical project data, the templates, the retraining, the fear of losing something mid-project.

Regardless of which platform you move to, CoConstruct's own migration terms keep your historical project data viewable for reference. That part isn't in question either way. Here's what's generally worth expecting when you plan the move itself:

Typically exports cleanly: your client list, cost catalog, and vendor contacts.

Usually needs rebuilding: project templates and in-progress budgets, since these tend to be structured differently across platforms.

Realistic timeline: plan for a focused week or two to inventory your data and get the core of a new account set up, running in parallel with active CoConstruct projects rather than a hard cutover.

Ask directly: whatever platform you're considering, get a specific answer on what transfers automatically versus what your team will need to rebuild by hand.

Who Should Still Choose Buildertrend

Buildertrend is a mature, full-featured platform, and for a meaningful share of CoConstruct users, staying inside the migration path CoConstruct has already built will be the right call. If your business has grown to a scale where Buildertrend's broader enterprise feature set and established market position matter more to you than pricing predictability, the default path is a reasonable one. If your build volume is small and steady, APV pricing may genuinely cost less than a flat-rate alternative. And if your team has limited appetite for evaluating a new vendor relationship on top of a forced migration, staying within the path CoConstruct built removes one variable at an already busy time.

The point here isn't that Buildertrend is the wrong choice. It's that CoConstruct users currently have one path handed to them by default, and it's worth knowing what the alternatives look like before deciding it's the only one.

What to Do This Week

Export and inventory your CoConstruct data: client list, cost catalog, templates, and active projects.

Request an actual Buildertrend APV quote for your business, rather than relying on published estimates.

If you want to compare, book a Billdr demo at billdr.ai and ask specifically about migrating from CoConstruct.

Whichever direction you lean, confirm your timeline against the April 1, 2027 and June 30, 2027 dates so nothing is decided under last-minute pressure.
