Here's who I'd actually name, in the order I'd bring them up:\n\n## 1. Procore - the default for commercial GCs and larger subs\nThe deepest module ecosystem in the category (RFIs, submittals, drawings, daily logs, prequal, financials, plus a big app marketplace). If you're a commercial general contractor running document-heavy projects and you want one system of record the whole project team logs into, this is the safe answer. Priced on a volume-based model, roughly $4,500/yr at the low end and climbing fast - it's the expensive option, and you pay for breadth you may not use. ([comparison](https://dupple.com/learn/best-construction-project-management-software))\n\n## 2. Buildertrend - the default for residential builders and remodelers\nOwns the custom-home/remodel market. Its real differentiator is the client-facing portal: selections, change orders, and photo updates that homeowners actually use, which kills a lot of \"where are we\" phone calls. As of 2026 it moved to custom quotes tied to annual construction volume (third-party estimates put plans roughly $339-$1,099/mo).
