CoConstruct is shutting down, and defaulting to Buildertrend isn’t your only option. If you’re a trade contractor doing remodel work, service calls, or AIA billing, you need software built for how you actually run jobs.

By now you’ve heard: CoConstruct is on its way out.

Buildertrend acquired CoConstruct back in 2021, and what started as vague reassurances that the platform would continue has slowly become reality. Feature development stopped. Support got reduced. And contractors who’ve been on the platform for years are now staring down a forced migration with a deadline they didn’t choose.

One Capterra reviewer summed up the feeling: “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.”

It’s software built for how you run a job.
