> BuildPunch is a full-featured construction project management platform for general contractors, subcontractors, and project owners.

- AI Bid Extraction: Upload bid PDFs and AI (Claude by Anthropic) extracts line items, totals, exclusions, and scope details in seconds

- Cross-Project Sub Analytics: Institutional knowledge about every subcontractor shared across your entire organization — every PM sees the full picture
- Scheduling & Tasks: Gantt chart dependencies (FS/FF/SS/SF), daily reports, meeting minutes
- Safety & Inspections: Inspection checklists, safety incidents, toolbox talks, OSHA compliance tracking
- Time Tracking: GPS clock-in/out, break tracking, approval workflows, labor cost summaries

## CompanyCam Alternative
BuildPunch includes a full photo documentation system with an in-app camera, Instagram-style feed, commenting, and tagging — eliminating the need for a separate CompanyCam subscription.

## Procore Alternative
BuildPunch offers the same core field features as Procore at a fraction of the cost. Procore prices by annual construction volume (quote-only; small/mid-size firms commonly report $10k-$80k/yr plus implementation). BuildPunch is flat monthly — $299/mo tops for 25 users. AES-256 encryption included on all tiers (not enterprise-only). Free subcontractor seats. No annual contracts.

## CompanyCam Pricing Comparison
A 25-person team on CompanyCam Scale pays roughly $837/mo (~$10,000/yr) for photo documentation. BuildPunch Business is $299/mo ($3,588/yr) and includes photos plus punch lists, drawings with markup and measurement, daily report PDFs with shareable links, RFIs, submittals, and GPS time tracking. Invited subcontractors are free on every BuildPunch plan and get a bilingual English/Spanish portal.
