  • Each has a real cost: Contractor Foreman basic plan at $49 per month is limited to 1 user; adding an 8-user team requires the Plus tier at $166 per month, as of August 2026; BuildingConnected the Internet Archive's capture of BuildingConnected's homepage on 16 December 2019 named three distinct network tools, BC Pro, TradeTapp, and Bid Board Pro, each sold via demo request or free trial with no price figure published; the product is now owned by Autodesk.
