PERCENTAGE-OF-VOLUME PRICING

Your growing pipeline is their growing fee.

Procore prices an annual fee, by product, based on your Annual Construction Volume — the aggregate dollar value of construction across your projects. (Procore's own pricing page.)

A general contractor can bill that cost forward into project overhead. A vertically integrated developer holds the asset and absorbs the cost permanently. Every time your development pipeline grows, your software bill grows with it — and stays in your operating cost base for the life of the hold.

Procore's own disclosures

Net revenue retention of 106% in both 2024 and 2025 — customers pay more each year, on average, without adding a single new logo.
By the end of 2025, 78% of recurring revenue came from customers using four or more products; 52% from six or more.
The pattern Procore calls "land-and-expand" is the same pattern that, from the developer's seat, looks like a rising annual cost tied to growth. (Source: Procore SEC filings & earnings disclosures.)

THE PRE-DEVELOPMENT GAP

The value lives upstream of where Procore engages.

Procore is built around the construction phase. Pre-development — acquisitions, feasibility, entitlements, design management, early budgeting before a project is greenlit — is where developers create and protect the most value, and it sits upstream of where Procore meaningfully engages. Jet.Build covers pre-development through construction through operations on one platform.

Framework

The MacLeamy curve

A widely accepted framework in AEC: your ability to influence project cost is highest in the earliest phases and collapses as design and construction advance. By the time Procore is fully engaged, the largest cost decisions are already made.

Presented as an accepted framework, not a precise statistic.

Per Procore's own sponsored research

Preconstruction is where profit lives

Organizations with above-average preconstruction are 52% more likely to report higher profitability.
They struggle with rework 65% less often.

Source: FMI / Procore preconstruction research (Procore-sponsored). The data is powerful precisely because Procore's own study locates the value upstream of its core strength.

LIFECYCLE DATA OWNERSHIP

You hold the asset for decades. Hold the data, too.

Drawings, submittals, warranties, equipment specs, closeout documents — the data produced during design and construction has enormous value across the operational life of a building. When that data lives in a GC-configured Procore instance, the owner pays for it but doesn't truly control it, and much of it is lost at handover. Jet.Build keeps lifecycle data owned by the developer and usable from pre-dev through asset management.

up to 80%

of a facility's lifecycle cost is incurred in the operations phase.

Range, illustrative — per Penn State, Fundamentals of Building Construction Management.

up to 30%

of data created during design and construction is lost by closeout.

Cited by Procore, attributed to Emerson. Present as a range, not a constant.

Owner-governed by default.

When project data lives in a contractor-configured system, governance defaults to the contractor's setup — not yours.

The decisions that determine 20-to-30 years of operating cost are made in the years before turnover. The platform that holds that data should belong to the owner.

CONSOLIDATING THE VERTICAL STACK

One platform across development, construction, and operations.

A vertically integrated developer typically runs separate systems for development, construction, accounting, and asset management. Every phase hand-off becomes manual re-keying and reconciliation — the "human as the integration layer." Jet.Build consolidates pre-dev → construction operations → asset management into one platform, removing duplicate licenses, integration overhead, and data loss between phases.

$10.6B / yr

of estimated inadequate-interoperability cost was borne by owners and operators — nearly two-thirds of the $15.8B total.

NIST GCR 04-867 — 2002 data, illustrative and directional, not current.

Per McKinsey

Construction lacks an integrated platform spanning planning, design, construction, and operations.

Owners and contractors "often work from different versions of reality."

~5.5 hrs / wk

spent searching for project data — part of the ~35% of professional time spent on non-productive activities.

PlanGrid / FMI, Construction Disconnected (2018) — vendor-commissioned.

Every system boundary inside a vertically integrated developer is a data leak. Jet.Build collapses the stack into one ledger of record.

THE ADOPTION GAP

Procore's best outcomes are real. Almost no one reaches them.

The arguments above are developer-specific. The one below applies to your internal construction division — the GC team you've brought in-house. Procore publishes strong outcomes for its platform, and independent research — Dodge Construction Network, sponsored by Procore, covering 733 general contractors across 11 software platforms — confirms those outcomes are real.

But they only show up at full adoption. The same research scores teams across four maturity levels (light, moderate, advanced, optimized), and the gap between the floor and the ceiling is enormous.

Most teams never reach the ceiling. Only 9% of contractors operate at optimized adoption. More than nine in ten pay the full volume-based price while capturing a fraction of the value the software can deliver.

And waiting doesn't fix it. Tenure is a far weaker predictor of results than expertise — and expertise is exactly what a complex platform makes hard to reach.

"You pay for the ceiling and operate near the floor."

The other 91% pay full price for value they never capture.

Jet.Build's wedge is simple: a platform built to be learned fast gets more of your team to full value — turning the ROI Procore's own sponsored research says most firms never capture into ROI you actually realize.

THE ADOPTION MECHANISM

Adoption isn't an accident. It's a support model.

The gap between Procore's documented outcomes and what most teams actually realize comes down to adoption — and adoption is driven by how support and training actually work. Jet.Build is built to get your whole team to full value fast, with a support model designed around adoption rather than ticket deflection.

Procore's own sponsored research shows the documented outcomes are reached by a small fraction of teams. The difference isn't the software's ceiling — it's whether your team ever gets there. Jet.Build's support model exists to close that gap.

WHERE THE VALUE COMES FROM

Seven ways the economics change.

Lower annual software cost

Flat-rate for the full platform, every capability and unlimited users included — commonly 60–70%+ below industry-typical Procore pricing.

No ACV success penalty on a growing pipeline

Winning more work — or adding another asset to the pipeline — doesn't raise your bill. Across a multi-year hold, that flat cost line compounds against a percentage-of-volume curve.

Faster adoption, lower training burden

New hires reach productivity in a fraction of Procore's three-to-six-month ramp, cutting training cost and lost capacity. In the Dodge research, contractors reporting productivity gains from onboarding new or replacement hires rose from 21% at light adoption to 74% at optimized — the faster your team reaches full capability, the sooner every new hire pays off.

Preconstruction & project planning

Planning, estimating, bid and budget development, and scheduling live in the same platform that runs execution — clean handoff, no leaks between systems. The same research shows the handoff from preconstruction to project management improves from 35% to 80% of contractors as adoption deepens — clean planning-to-execution flow is one of the biggest expertise-driven gains.

SWITCHING, HONESTLY

The real cost of switching — and how we de-risk it.

A serious decision accounts for the cost of change. Here it is, on the table.

Blueprints and tablet resting on a steel beam at a jobsite

The honest costs

Data migration — active projects, contacts, financials (commonly one to a few weeks for active data)
Retraining on new habits
A short-term productivity dip during transition
Integration rebuilds (Jet.Build integrations are custom-built per client, fitted to how you work — never generic plug-and-play)
Internal change management — adoption is organizational, not just technical

How Jet.Build Foundations de-risks it

A defined migration plan — prioritize active/recent data, archive the rest
Structured, hands-on onboarding that compresses time-to-value
Custom-built integration scoping fitted to your stack
A single accountable path through the transition
The Foundations fee applies toward your annual license — onboarding is a credit, not a sunk cost. Not the right fit at month four? It ends cleanly, no further commitment.
