Migrating from CoConstruct to BuildTools
CoConstruct is on a publicly stated migration path to Buildertrend, so a move is coming either way. This is how remodelers and builders migrate to BuildTools instead — a deliberate choice, cleanly executed.
A migration you choose, not one chosen for you
How your CoConstruct setup moves to BuildTools
Each part of your CoConstruct account has a home in BuildTools. Here is the mapping.
| From CoConstruct | In BuildTools |
|---|---|
| Projects and job history | Imported during onboarding so reporting stays continuous |
| Budgets and cost catalogs | Mapped into the working budget connected to projected margin |
| Selections and allowances | First-class selections connected to budget and the client portal |
| Change orders and approvals | AI-drafted change orders from project context, builder-approved |
| Client communication history | A curated client portal you re-invite homeowners into |
| Files, photos, and specs | Documents and auto-tagged photos, with AI capture going forward |
What changes once you are on BuildTools
- You are on an actively developed, AI-first platform rather than a product in transition.
- AI drafts change orders, RFIs, scopes, and client updates from your project context for your review.
- Selections, allowances, and a curated client portal built for occupied-home remodel work.
- Budgets, change orders, invoices, and draws connected to projected margin.
- AI project intelligence flags budget variance, missing approvals, and stale items.
- A guided onboarding handles the import so your team is not re-keying data.

Frequently asked questions
How do I migrate from CoConstruct to BuildTools?
Export your projects, budgets, selections, and vendor lists, map them into BuildTools during a guided onboarding, then cut over active jobs in a planned window. A 15-minute consult builds the plan around your situation.
Why migrate to BuildTools instead of following CoConstruct to Buildertrend?
With CoConstruct on a published path to Buildertrend, you are moving either way. That makes it the natural moment to choose the platform you want next rather than accept a default destination.
Will my selections and allowances come over?
Yes. Selections and allowances are first-class workflows in BuildTools, connected to the budget and the client portal, and they carry over during onboarding.
Can I migrate mid-remodel?
Yes, with a phased cutover so superintendents and clients are never split across two systems during an occupied-home project.
What does it cost to switch?
BuildTools uses transparent monthly tiers. Book a consult and we will scope the right tier and the migration plan together.
