ConstructConnect

  • Project Intelligence is priced per market at $129 per month for Starter and from $199 per month for Professional, so covering more geographic markets multiplies the cost
  • Premium Project Intelligence pricing is custom and requires contacting sales
  • Takeoff is billed per seat per year at $1,200 for Starter and $2,200 for Professional and is priced separately from Project Intelligence
