Make CA profitable again.

Every firm bleeds fee in construction administration — answering the same RFIs, redrawing the same details, absorbing changes you didn’t cause. BuildCycle reads your own CA data back to you and shows you exactly where to fix it.

Unlimited users on every plan. Your consultants, the GC and the owner’s rep all work free — nobody gets left outside the system to save a seat.

3 recurring detail errors on A-501 / S-201 are driving most of the structural churn. Fix the detail once — upstream — and the RFIs stop.

Every RFI is feedback.
Read it back.

Do your CA in BuildCycle and the record quietly shows you its own patterns — which details keep coming back, and where to revisit one before it costs you again on the next job.

Patterns

See the class of mistake

Group RFIs and changes by discipline, sheet, and spec section. The detail that drew six questions this project surfaces before it draws six more on the next one.

The right money

Trace fee back to its cause

Every change order links to the error that triggered it. “We bled fee in CA” becomes “we lost $18k to three details” — a number you can actually design out.

Capacity

See who’s underwater

Response times by person and project show who’s carrying too much CA load — early enough to move work, not after the deadline has already slipped. How field reports work →

Two-way sync with Procore

When the contractor lives in Procore, you don’t have to. Responses you write post back as formal Procore actions; their requests pull in, with no double entry and no export. The data still lands in your loop.

No Procore on the job? Nothing changes. Plenty of good GCs still run on email and PDFs. There, BuildCycle is the system of record and every workflow works exactly the same — Procore is an accelerant, not a dependency.

Your drawings,
managed.

Upload the whole plan set — BuildCycle splits it into individual sheets, reads the numbers off the title blocks, and files every discipline. Revisions become versions; superseded sheets are watermarked, never lost.

Head detail 1 at 3 inches to the foot: stucco over self-furring lath and rigid insulation, 6-inch metal studs with batt insulation, a roller window shade pocket, and the aluminium window head below. Revision 3 is clouded in red at the corner bead.

RFI-047 was asked against Rev 2. It still opens on Rev 2, so the record shows what the field was actually looking at.

Pinned

RFIs remember their sheet

Every RFI pins to the sheet version it was asked against — two revisions later, the record still shows exactly what the field was looking at.

One motion

Revised drawings ride the response

Your consultant stages the fix, you approve, and the new version goes out with the RFI answer — to the GC, and to Procore when they run it.

Current

The field sees the current set

Field reports and punch markers always sit on the current sheet; stale versions announce themselves. How document management works →

One email drops you into a live demo project with real work already in it. Poke around; we’ll follow up once you’ve had a look, not spam you.

Flat pricing. Unlimited users. No card to look around.

Straight to
the point.

The short answers. The details live one click deeper.

What does BuildCycle cost?

Flat pricing by active projects, never by seats — consultants, GCs and owner's reps work free. Starting at $120/month for the whole platform: RFIs, submittals, change orders, pay applications, field reports, punch lists, and document management. Every plan has every feature, and archived projects are free forever. See the full pricing ladder.

Do my consultants and the GC need paid seats?

No. Unlimited users on every plan: your consultants, the contractor, and the owner’s rep all collaborate at no charge. A five-discipline punch walkthrough costs the same as a solo one.

Does BuildCycle replace Procore?

It doesn’t have to. When the contractor runs Procore, BuildCycle syncs two ways: their requests pull in, your responses post back as formal Procore actions. When they don’t, BuildCycle stands on its own; participation happens by email, no logins to chase.

What’s in the live demo?

A real CA project: real RFIs, real submittals, and the actual insights dashboards. One email unlocks it; there’s no card and no sales call. We save your spot so you can come back to it.

You already know what CA costs you.

Ten minutes in a real project is faster than any deck. Nothing to install, nothing to cancel.
