SeparateGroundwork Takeoff

Just need takeoff and estimating? Groundwork Takeoff is standalone.

Not every team needs the full ERP. Groundwork Takeoff is a separate, native takeoff and estimating app: draw on the plan set and watch materials, labor, and totals build themselves. It's priced and sold on its own, not bundled into the plans above.

  • 6 measuring tools committing 5 quantity types — linear, perimeter, area, volume, count
  • Live estimate grid that prices itself off your own assemblies as you draw
  • Native macOS and Windows apps, plus an iPad and browser version
  • AI-assisted counting on every seat, reviewed before anything commits
  • Offline-first — it syncs when you're back, and a seat carries 14 days of grace

P-002How the rest of the market prices this

Five of these six won't give you a number without a call.

We checked each vendor's own pricing page in September 2026. JobTread publishes a table you can do arithmetic on and is the only one of the six that does. The other five route you through a quote form, and three of them — Buildertrend, Procore, RedTeam — price against your construction volume or active project value rather than the size of your team, so the bill grows as your company grows whether or not another person ever signs in. Buildertrend joined that list in 2026, which is the change worth knowing about: it used to publish a starting price and now asks for your volume bracket first.

A 10-person GC doing $8,000,000 a year, annualised

Every figure below is computed from the register at this one size, not quoted. Where a vendor publishes nothing, the band is what third parties report and the confidence column says so.

VendorPriced againstPer year at this sizeConfidence
Groundwork ProfessionalPlatform fee plus users$7,188Published
JobTreadPlatform fee plus users$4,548Published
ProcoreYour annual construction volume$8,000–$24,000Reported
BuildertrendFlat monthly plan$4,068–$13,188Reported
RedTeamYour active project value$13,600–$16,000Reported
Autodesk BuildPer user, per month$16,800–$19,800Reported
FieldwirePer user, per month$4,680–$10,680Published

Read the Procore row with its floor: the percentage band is what firms above $10M of volume report, and below that the reported minimum of $4,500 a year takes over. That is why a 12-person team doing $8,000,000 has reported a quote over $15,000 — the low end of the percentage band, $8,000, understates what a contractor this size is actually asked to pay. Buildertrend's band is the old published tiers as third parties still report them; the live price is a volume bracket. RedTeam's is computed off Active Project Value, with RedTeam Go reported separately at about $10,000 a year. Autodesk Build and Fieldwire are per-user, so their bills track headcount rather than revenue. Groundwork's figure is twelve months at the monthly rate; paying annually up front takes 20% off it.

JobTread

Published · checked September 2026

Published: $199/month base covering the first internal user, then graduated per-user bands. No contract, no setup fee, no feature gating by tier.

Published: $199/month plus $20/user/month for users 2–10, dropping to $15, $10 and $5 in higher bands, 20% off annual, no setup fee. Customer and vendor portal users are unlimited and free, and no feature is gated by tier. The only competitor here whose price you can compute before talking to anyone.

Buildertrend

Reported · checked September 2026

Quote-only, anchored to annual construction volume across 11 brackets ($0–499K through $31M+). Unlimited users. No dollar figure appears on Buildertrend's pricing page.

Quote-only. Like Procore, Buildertrend now prices against your annual construction volume — its pricing page is a five-step form that asks for your volume bracket before anyone quotes you. Third parties still report the former published tiers at roughly $339–$1,099/month; those are reported, not vendor-confirmed. Users are unlimited.

Procore

Reported · checked September 2026

Quote-only, priced against Annual Construction Volume. Unlimited users. Field Productivity is the exception and is priced per FTE.

Quote-only, priced against your Annual Construction Volume. Reported bills work out to roughly 0.1%–0.2% of ACV for firms above $10M, but there is a floor: the smallest reported entry is about $4,500/year and real small-GC quotes start around $15,000–$25,000/year, so a contractor doing $8M lands nearer 0.2%–0.3%. Unlimited users. Implementation is extra, and first-year total is commonly 2–2.5x the subscription. Procore publishes no dollar figure anywhere.

RedTeam

Reported · checked September 2026

Quote-only above the small tiers, priced on Active Project Value. Unlimited users and unlimited projects. The pricing page is an APV calculator with no printed dollar figures.

Quote-only, priced on Active Project Value, with unlimited users and unlimited projects. RedTeam's pricing page is an APV calculator ($0–$4M through $20M+) with no printed dollar figures — small tiers get an estimated annual price from it, larger accounts are custom-quoted. RedTeam Go is reported at about $10,000/year, roughly 0.2% of a $5M APV; that figure is third-party reported, not taken off RedTeam's page.

Corecon (now Sage Construction Management)

Reported · checked September 2026

Quote-only, per user per month. Acquired by Sage on 2023-05-09 and rebranded Sage Construction Management; corecon.com now redirects to sage.com.

Corecon was acquired by Sage in 2023 and is now sold as Sage Construction Management; corecon.com redirects to Sage. Third-party price estimates still circulating under the Corecon name span $10 to $300 per user per month — a 15x spread partly explained by sources describing three different products across a rebrand. We don't think any specific number here is trustworthy enough to publish, and treat the spread itself as the finding.

CMiC

Reported · checked September 2026

Quote-only, role-based named-user licensing — finance and project-controls users are priced differently from field or read-only users.

Quote-only, role-based named-user licensing. Third-party estimates put licences at $50,000 to $150,000+/year plus $100,000 to $500,000 of implementation over 6 to 18 months. The '$100/user/month' figure that circulates online is flagged by its own source as not vendor-confirmed. CMiC targets contractors above roughly $20M in annual revenue.

Groundwork

Published · no revenue tie-in

$299 or $599/month, then $49–$69/user/month

The price is on this page, and so is a calculator for your own headcount. It doesn't change because your revenue grew, portal users are free, and you don't need a call to find any of it out.

Vendor figures above were checked against each company's own pricing page in September 2026. Only the rows marked Published carry a number the vendor itself prints; everything else is third-party reporting from review sites, pricing aggregators and reviewer-reported bills, and is not vendor-confirmed, because those vendors publish nothing. Several sources disagreed with each other by 2 to 15x, which is itself informative about how opaque this category's pricing is. We re-verify this register at least every six months. If you have a current, vendor-confirmed quote from any of these and it differs from what's shown here, tell us and we'll correct it.

P-003Pricing questions

Pricing questions.

Yes. Davis-Bacon wage-floor checks and WH-347 generation are part of the Professional plan, not a separate line item. Most competitors treat federal-compliance features as a paid module; we don't.

Several competitors price against your annual construction volume or active project value, so the bill grows with your revenue regardless of how many people are actually using the software. We price against the platform and the people in it, because that is what actually drives our support and infrastructure cost, and because it means your price does not change just because you won a bigger job.

It stays yours. Export every project, document and record in standard formats (CSV, XLSX, PDF, JSON) at any time while the subscription is running, including the remainder of a term you have cancelled. After the term ends we keep your data for 90 days, during which you can request a full export and nothing is deleted. Restarting within that window restores everything. Nothing is held hostage in a proprietary format.

Most GCs are running live projects inside a week. We import your active job list, cost codes, and contact directory up front, then walk your estimating and PM teams through their first project live.

No. Every module in a plan is included for everyone on that plan: estimating, scheduling, job cost, and compliance modules all ship together.

Internal users: your own staff who sign in and work in the platform. Clients, owners, architects and subcontractors use the portal at no charge and are never counted. Each plan includes a block of internal users in its monthly price, and you add more at that plan's flat per-user rate. Billing adjusts the same month when the count changes.
