Do we have to switch everything at once from Procore to INGENIOUS.BUILD?

No. You can migrate one project at a time, run INGENIOUS in parallel during your transition, or do a full cutover when you're ready. Most teams find a clean switch is faster and cleaner than they expected.

Do external collaborators get free access on INGENIOUS.BUILD?

Yes. Any external stakeholders you invite to a project access INGENIOUS.BUILD at no extra cost. There are no per-seat charges for people outside your organization.

Is AI included in INGENIOUS.BUILD or is it a paid add-on?

AI is included in INGENIOUS Pro — no supplemental agreement, no credit consumption model, no separate purchase required. Procore's Datagrid AI requires a signed supplemental agreement and charges credits for every interaction.

What are the contract terms for INGENIOUS.BUILD?

INGENIOUS.BUILD is billed annually. Contact the team to discuss what works for your organization.

Q: How is INGENIOUS.BUILD pricing different from Procore?

INGENIOUS.BUILD charges a flat per-user rate — unlimited projects, unlimited project size. Procore's cost scales with your annual construction volume (ACV model), adds fees per module, and compounds with 10–15% renewal increases year over year. With INGENIOUS, a bigger project just means a bigger profit margin.

INGENIOUS.BUILD connects every stakeholder — owner to trade — on one platform, pre-con to closeout. Predictable pricing. No workarounds.

The Real Cost of Staying

What Procore Doesn't Tell You

Pricing

Your bill grows whether you grow or not

Procore's ACV model ties your subscription to your construction volume — and renewal increases stack on top year over year. Long-term customers consistently report their effective rate doubling over time.

Connectivity

Every party on your project is an island

Procore doesn't talk to Procore — each company runs a separate instance that can't see the others. Drawings, RFIs, and invoices still travel as manual attachments, and by the time data moves it's already stale.

Intelligence

Every project starts from zero

When a project closes in Procore, its data stays there — cost trends, subcontractor performance, risk patterns. Your next project starts from zero, with no portfolio intelligence to learn from.

Pricing That Makes Sense

You Shouldn't Need a Spreadsheet
to Understand What You Pay.

INGENIOUS.BUILD

Transparent pricing. No surprises.

Per-user pricing — one transparent rate, scaled to team size.

Unlimited projects and project size — cost doesn't change as you grow.

External collaborators free — owners, subs, and stakeholders at no extra cost.

AI included in Pro — no supplemental agreement, no credits to buy.

Procore

Base fee. Then it gets complicated.

Per-module pricing — financials, quality, safety each sold separately.

ACV component — cost scales with your annual construction volume.

AI sold separately — Datagrid needs a signed agreement and credit-based pricing.

Renewal increases — reported at 10–15% year over year.

6–7h Saved on Manual Work & Report Gathering Per person, per day — with INGENIOUS AI enabled.

90% Reduction in Project Risk Live data connected across owner, GC, sub, and external collaborator workspaces — no delays, no version drift, no risk from stale information.

50% Less Administrative Work Fewer emails, meetings, follow-ups, and attachment chains.
