The short version

  • Each has a real cost: Document Crunch it is triage, not legal advice, and a company that treats the output as a substitute for counsel on a large or unusual contract is taking a risk the tool never claimed to cover.; Reconstruct pricing is quoted with nothing published, so a buyer cannot sanity-check a proposal against a list rate and has no way to know whether the price scales with projects, square footage or users until deep in the sales process.
  • They diverge on capability: Document Crunch covers Contract risk analysis, Reconstruct covers Device-agnostic capture.
  • Prices and features above were last checked on 1 September 2026.

What people use each for

The jobs each tool is most often brought in to do.

Reconstruct

  • An owner running projects in several countries who wants to cut executive site visits without accepting the contractor’s self-reported percentage completenot Document Crunch
  • A healthcare or data centre fit-out where above-ceiling services must be recorded before they are closed up, so later maintenance does not require demolitionnot Document Crunch
  • A delay or defect dispute where the decisive question is what was physically in place on a specific date and the only other evidence is contested emailnot Document Crunch

Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

Document Crunch

  • It is triage, not legal advice, and a company that treats the output as a substitute for counsel on a large or unusual contract is taking a risk the tool never claimed to cover.
  • Accuracy depends on the document being a recognisable construction contract; heavily bespoke owner agreements and unusual exhibits produce weaker analysis than standard industry forms.
  • The playbook needs configuring to reflect positions your company actually holds, and firms that skip that step get generic risk flags they learn to ignore.
  • It identifies problems it cannot solve; knowing a pay-when-paid clause is punitive does not give a subcontractor the leverage to have it removed.
  • Benefit depends on project staff consulting it during the job rather than only at signature, and that habit change is the part that fails most often.

Reconstruct

  • Pricing is quoted with nothing published, so a buyer cannot sanity-check a proposal against a list rate and has no way to know whether the price scales with projects, square footage or users until deep in the sales process.
  • The whole value depends on disciplined recurring capture, and site teams treat walking the building with a camera as a low-priority chore, so datasets go stale exactly when a dispute makes them valuable.
  • Photogrammetry from handheld footage is less accurate than laser scanning, so it is fine for progress and coordination but should not be relied on for tight as-built tolerances or prefabrication dimensions.
  • Schedule alignment requires a well-structured schedule with activities that map to physical locations; on projects where the programme is a coarse rolled-up bar chart the progress calculation is close to meaningless.
  • It is another platform alongside Procore or Autodesk Construction Cloud rather than a replacement, so buyers add a subscription and a workflow rather than consolidating one, and the business case has to survive that.

Answered from the vendors’ own pages

Document Crunch: Does it replace a construction lawyer?

No. It tells you where to spend legal hours and catches the provisions that get missed entirely. Unusual or high-value contracts still need counsel.

Reconstruct: How much does Reconstruct cost?

Not published. It is quoted per project or portfolio. Ask specifically whether the price scales by project count, square footage or capture volume, because those give very different totals.

Document Crunch: Who gets the most value from it?

The party that did not draft the contract, which most often means subcontractors receiving a different subcontract from every general contractor.

Reconstruct: Do we need a drone or a laser scanner?

No. It works from 360 cameras and even smartphone video. Drones and scanners improve exterior and accuracy-critical coverage.

Document Crunch: Is it only useful before signing?

No, and arguably the larger value is during the job, when notice deadlines and change procedures need to be followed by people who never read the contract.

Reconstruct: How accurate is it?

Accurate enough for progress, coordination and dispute evidence. It is not a substitute for survey-grade laser scanning where tolerances matter.

Reconstruct: Who owns the captured data at closeout?

The customer. Confirm the export format and retention terms in the contract before handover, because a reality archive is only useful if you can still open it in five years.

Reconstruct: Does it replace Procore?

No. It integrates with Procore and Autodesk Construction Cloud and adds the visual as-built layer.
