Why builders are switching from CoConstruct to Built Simple
CoConstruct is a solid platform, but it wasn’t built with Australian builders in mind. Most of our switchers come over because of one of these reasons.
What slows CoConstruct down for AU builders
- CoConstruct was acquired by Buildertrend in 2021 — being phased out
- Existing customers being migrated to Buildertrend platform
- Documentation and product roadmap effectively frozen
- Built for US custom home builders — not AU regulations
- No clean Xero/MYOB integration
What Built Simple does instead
- Active product roadmap — weekly updates
- Built for AU custom home builders
- Pricing transparency — no surprise tier changes
- Native AU accounting integrations
- Free 14-day trial
- Mobile-first, AU support
