THE PRICING PROBLEM

Stop paying more every time you win a job.

Procore's pricing scales with your annual construction volume — so winning more work increases your bill.

Publicly available third-party estimates and customer-reported examples commonly place effective pricing around 0.1%–0.2% of annual construction volume, varying by package, modules, implementation, and contract. Procore doesn't publish pricing, so every figure here is an industry-typical estimate, not a quote for any specific firm.

Procore's ACV model

Priced as a % of your work

Priced as a percentage of your annual construction volume
Your bill grows when you win bigger work
Renewal increases of ~5–14%/yr widely reported; steeper over long contracts
Core modules and add-ons billed separately
Implementation typically billed on top in year one
Pricing isn't published — hard to benchmark

Jet.Build's flat-rate model

Predictable. Inclusive. Flat.

Flat annual rate for the full platform
Your bill doesn't grow when you win bigger work
Predictable, transparent pricing at renewal
Every capability included — no module fees
Unlimited users, including subcontractors

THE ADOPTION GAP

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

Procore publishes strong outcomes for its platform. 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."

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

Winning more work doesn't raise your bill. The faster you grow, the bigger your savings versus volume-based pricing.

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.

Jenny — AI built into the work

Jet.Build's built-in AI assistant, available today and improving through regular releases. Jenny takes friction out of repetitive PM and admin work — drafting and routing items like RFIs and submittals, searching documents, and pulling reports.

Potential margin improvement

Where your technology cost is recovered through fixed general conditions, overhead, or a negotiated allowance, lowering actual software spend can improve margin. Depends on your contract structure, cost-of-work definitions, and audit rights — evaluate with your finance and legal teams.

TIER-BY-TIER

Jet.Build vs. industry-typical Procore pricing.

Mid Portfolio is the default scenario in the calculator below.

5-year cumulative assumes Procore escalating ~7% annually and Jet.Build held flat; software cost only. Annual savings range ~59%–73% across tiers. Dollar savings widen as you scale — exactly where volume-based pricing costs the most.

PROVEN AT SCALE

RISE, a federal construction operator, runs $9B+ of mission-critical work across the Northeast on a single unified Jet.Build platform — coordinating large, complex, high-oversight delivery with the audit posture government work demands. Flat-rate software scales to the most demanding GC environments without the cost curve climbing with every project.

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.

1/4 the cost. Built for faster, fuller adoption.

Procore pricing figures are industry-typical estimates based on publicly available reporting and customer-reported examples; Procore does not publish pricing, and figures vary by package, modules, implementation, and contract. Jet.Build tier pricing shown is illustrative and subject to scoping. Productivity, training, and technology-recovery figures are adjustable assumptions to be validated against your own operations and contracts. Jet.Build is not a financial or legal advisor. Adoption and benefit statistics are drawn from Dodge Construction Network's "Quantifying the Value of Project Management Software for Construction" (sponsored by Procore; 1,563 respondents including 733 general contractors; 11 software platforms). Figures describe project management software adoption generally, not any single platform.
