How much does construction management software cost?

Per-user platforms like Autodesk Forma Build cost $1,400 per user per year ($800 for Forma Build Essentials), and field tools like Fieldwire run $39 to $89 per user per month billed annually. Procore does not publish prices; it charges an annual fee based on construction volume with unlimited users.

Is Bluebeam or Procore more expensive?

They are priced differently. Bluebeam costs $260 to $590 per user per year, so a 10-person team pays $2,600 to $5,900. Procore charges one company-wide fee based on annual construction volume, which usually runs far higher in total but covers every user.

Does Autodesk Construction Cloud still exist?

Autodesk renamed Autodesk Construction Cloud to Autodesk Forma on March 24, 2026. Autodesk Build became Forma Build and Autodesk Docs became Forma Data Management. Pricing is still per user.

Can you still buy PlanGrid?

Autodesk no longer sells PlanGrid to new customers. New buyers are directed to Forma Build, and existing PlanGrid customers should confirm their renewal and migration terms with Autodesk.

Which construction software is free?

Fieldwire has a free Basic plan for up to 5 users, 3 projects, and 100 sheets. Most other tools on this page offer a free trial rather than a free tier; trial lengths vary and are listed in each pricing breakdown.

Which pricing model costs less: per user or construction volume?

Per-user pricing costs less when a small group does the work in the tool, such as five estimators in PlanSwift or a precon team in Bluebeam. Volume pricing costs less when many people need access, because Procore charges the same whether 20 or 200 people log in.

The crossover depends on headcount and annual volume. Price the per-user option at your real seat count, including supers and occasional reviewers, then compare it with a written Procore quote at your current volume.

What costs don't show up on the pricing page?

The subscription is rarely the full bill. Budget for the items below before you compare quotes.

Implementation and training time, which falls hardest on platforms like Procore and Forma Build.
Renewal increases. Procore users report increases tied to growth in construction volume; see the Procore review for what reviewers say.
Add-on modules, such as Procore Financials or Forma Takeoff, priced separately from the base product.
Seats for occasional users, such as superintendents who only need drawings, on per-user tools.
Overlap. Many GCs pay for Bluebeam and Procore drawing tools at the same time because each does a job the other doesn't.

Which construction software do you need for drawing review?

Most teams review drawings with a markup tool (Bluebeam or Acrobat) and store them in a platform (Procore or Forma). Neither one reads the set for conflicts. A reviewer still opens each sheet. Our guide to Bluebeam vs Adobe Acrobat for construction drawings covers the markup side, and Procore vs Bluebeam explains how teams split work between the two.

Helonic is the review step in that stack. It reads the full 2D PDF set in 15 to 30 minutes and returns coordination, code, and missing-information findings with sheet locations. A reviewer accepts each one before it becomes an RFI through the Procore integration or the Autodesk integration.
