What Buildertrend pricing looks like after the CoConstruct acquisition
CoConstruct used to feel tailor-made for remodelers. Now that it lives inside Buildertrend pricing, a lot of smaller firms feel priced out. If you only need airtight documents and tighter cost control, the subscription can cost more than the problem it solves.
| CoConstruct / Buildertrend | Wingman Protocol | |
|---|---|---|
| Monthly cost | $349+/mo | $0/month |
| Setup fee | $500 | $0 |
| Training required | 10–30 hrs | None |
| Contract required | Yes (annual) | No |
| Best for | High-volume teams needing portals and integrated scheduling | Lean remodelers who need pro docs fast |
| One-time purchase option | No | Yes ($17/template) |
| Year 1 total cost | $4,700+ | $17–$97 |
Most remodelers do not need a full software operating system
What CoConstruct / Buildertrend sells
- Client portals and homeowner messaging
- Integrated scheduling across the whole crew
- Lead management and sales workflows
- Warranty tracking inside the platform
- Team onboarding and software training
- All-in-one operations for office-heavy teams
What lean remodelers actually use
- A strong remodeling contract
- A client selections form
- A pre-construction questionnaire
- A signed change order or work order
- A job costing spreadsheet
- A clean certificate of completion
If you are only running a handful of remodels each year, the software overhead can easily outgrow the paperwork problem.
Who should use each option
Use CoConstruct / Buildertrend if:
- You’re doing 10+ remodels/year with a full crew and need client-facing portals and integrated scheduling
- You want operations centralized inside one app
- You can justify the monthly software spend
Use Wingman Protocol if:
- You’re a remodeler doing 1–10 projects/year who wants professional client documents, change order control, and job costing without a monthly bill
- You prefer buying tools once and using them forever
- You need clean paperwork more than software overhead
