CoConstruct stops taking new projects on April 1, 2027, and its builders are being moved to Buildertrend. Before you go where you're sent, see the platform built to win the job, not just run it: AI estimates from an address, a photo or a prompt, interactive proposals with selections in the checkout, and a schedule, budget and RFQs that build themselves from your estimate.

Buildertrend bought CoConstruct and is retiring it. Here's the timeline every CoConstruct builder is working to.
Buildertrend acquires CoConstruct.
CoConstruct stops selling to new customers.
Last day to start a new project in CoConstruct. From April 1, no new projects.
Migration off CoConstruct must be underway. Past projects stay viewable.
CoConstruct has no sales tools: no interactive proposals, no checkout, no upsells. Here's what changes when your software sells for you.
In CoConstruct, selections are a separate chore you chase after the job is signed. In Bolster they're part of the sale. Your client opens an interactive proposal, picks their options and good/better/best upgrades, watches the price update, then signs and pays the deposit in the same checkout. Every decision is made while they're excited to buy, so jobs close faster and come in bigger.
Type an address, snap a photo or describe the job, and Bolster's AI builds the estimate. Every line is priced by AutoCost from 100M+ real items with live, local material and labor costs. CoConstruct estimates start from cost data you maintain by hand.
If you're switching anyway, switch to where the industry is going. Describe a project and Bolster's Construction Intelligence scopes the work, builds the estimate, measures the takeoff, and produces renderings and a client-ready proposal like the one shown.
Every line in a won estimate already knows its quantities, costs and trades. Bolster uses that to set up the job for you.
You have to move off CoConstruct anyway. Moving to Bolster means AI does the setup and you bring your data with you.
Describe the work you do and Bolster builds your estimate templates and assemblies for you.
Bring your cost catalog, client list and vendor list across with Bolster's import tools.
Move your active projects in. Past CoConstruct projects stay viewable there, so only bring what's live.
A Bolster specialist sets up your account with you and trains your team.
CoConstruct covers daily logs, messaging, purchase orders, a GPS time clock, bid requests and payments. Every one of them has a home in Bolster, and most of them get an upgrade.
Everything CoConstruct does, plus the sales tools, automation and payments it never had.
