Free construction software
Construction software that costs $0
BuildProof is construction management software for residential builders, and the price is zero. Not a trial, not a starter tier with the good parts locked. Most software in this trade is priced by quote, by seat, or by project volume. Here the number is $0, and this page explains what that includes and why the price works.
What free means here
- No subscription, no per-seat fees, no contract, and no onboarding charge.
- Your team is included. Your subs bid, sign, and get paid without paying us. Your clients' portal is part of your service, not an upsell.
- Card processing carries Stripe's standard rates, which go to Stripe, not us. We never hold funds.
- Your data is yours, with one-click export, any time, in writing in our Terms.
We are not a software vendor. BuildProof is built by builders, and our business earns from the work and services that flow through the builder network, never from charging you for the tools. That is the whole trade, stated plainly. The full terms of the model, including the one fair-use paragraph, are on the pricing page.
