    Additional Details—Procore charges an upfront annual fee by product and based upon Annual Construction Volume (ACV) - the aggregate dollar value of the construction work across the customer's projects. Procore contracts include access for unlimited users, customer support, unlimited data storage, and product enhancements, at no additional cost. Multi-year pools: Contract volume is set for the entire multi-year term and can be consumed at any time during that period to help smooth out variability in consumption. Volume opt-in: Up-front contractual pricing is put in place for additional volume that might need to be added mid-term, to increase predictability of costs. Renewal rate protection: Up-front setting of rates is locked now, so businesses can budget accordingly for future renewals and improve cost predictability in future years.

    Chose BuildingConnected, an Autodesk product
    We also use AutoCAD so it was easy for us to look at BuildingConnected first since they are by the same company. We had found out while interfacing with our customers that some other platforms (like Procore) were hard to use and find information on, so we did not give them …

    Procore has excellent project management, but the bidding side is the worst I have ever used.
    PlanHub is easy to use and lets me put as many jobs as possible online.

    Chose BuildingConnected, an Autodesk product
    I'd say that BuildingConnected is by far the best software I've used in the industry. It's much more aesthetically pleasing, user-friendly, and just a better overall product than Procore, iSqFt, & SmartBid. Those sites all seem to be lacking in at least one of those categories …

    Chose BuildingConnected, an Autodesk product
    We use BuildingConnected for our bidding process mainly because of their database feature. Procore does not offer a database outside of using your own. PlanGrid, Dodge & PanTerra have databases, but they don't seem to be as broad as BuildingConnected. SmartBid actually has some …

    Very similar but BuildingConnected, an Autodesk is easier to use. The projects available are easier to locate and the user friendly screens allow for deciding which projects to bid.

    Chose BuildingConnected, an Autodesk product
    I have used various products to do my job and by far BuildingConnected is the best. I wish all construction companies used this program. They are easy to use and does most of the work for me. I like the way they call or text me and ask for my opinion on their product and if …

    Chose BuildingConnected, an Autodesk product
    I like the look of BuildingConnected the best between the 3 of these products. iSqFt to me has an outdated look and isn't super easy to navigate like BuildingConnected. I like the the visual look of BuildingConnected its very easy on the eyes and draws your eye to where you …

    Chose Procore
    Procore is over priced, and other competitors have come a long way.

    Chose Procore
    Procore is the most comprehensive of all. Pricing on size rather than the user is another reason that we used in deciding on Procore.

    Chose Procore
    Procore has a lot of the functionalities of its competitors such as Building Connected and iSqFt. I would say that Building Connected was the most user friendly but in the end, Procore has a more robust platform.

    To be fair, I only have contact with the other products through some client's platforms, so I can't compare them fairly.

    We felt like Procore offered us the entire package, and it was customizable to our needs making it the clear choice for us.

    Chose Procore
    BuilderTrend approached us recently and we were given a demo. Both of us agreed that BuilderTrend was more suited to home building. We're commercial builders so this wasn't a good option for us. We use Building Connected occasionally, just the free subscription and for bidding …
