Switch From Buildertrend to Projul: Full Guide

Switching from BuilderTrend to Projul construction management software

Switching construction management software feels like a big deal. You’ve got years of project data in BuilderTrend, your team sort of knows how to use it, and the thought of starting over sounds painful. We get it.

But if you’re here, something isn’t working. Maybe your bill keeps climbing every renewal. Maybe half your crew stopped using the app because it’s too complicated. Maybe you’re paying for features you’ve never opened.

You’re not the first contractor to make this switch. Here’s exactly what it looks like, what to expect, and how to do it without losing your mind.

Why Contractors Leave BuilderTrend

BuilderTrend is a big platform with a long feature list. For some companies, that’s exactly what they need. But for a lot of contractors, the reality doesn’t match the sales pitch.

The pricing gets expensive fast. BuilderTrend starts around $499/mo for their base plan. That’s before onboarding fees ($400 to $1,500) and before your bill scales up as you add users and features. A lot of contractors end up paying $700 to $1,000+ per month and still feel like they’re not getting full value.

Too many features, not enough focus. BuilderTrend tries to be everything for everyone. That means there are dozens of features packed into the platform, and most contractors use maybe 30% of them. The rest just adds clutter and makes the software harder to learn.

The mobile app frustrates field crews. Construction happens on job sites, not at desks. BuilderTrend’s mobile app gets consistent complaints about crashes, slow load times, and a confusing interface. If your foremen and subs won’t use the app, you’re paying for software that only the office uses.

Onboarding takes too long. Getting a full team trained on BuilderTrend takes weeks. For a busy contractor running multiple jobs, that’s weeks of reduced productivity and frustrated employees. And if someone new joins the team, the training cycle starts again.

Getting your data out is hard. This is the one that really stings. BuilderTrend doesn’t offer a simple bulk export. If you want to leave, you’re looking at manually downloading files, photos, and project records one by one. That lock-in effect keeps some contractors stuck longer than they want to be.

None of this means BuilderTrend is a bad product. It works well for large production home builders who use the full feature set. But if you’re a residential contractor, remodeler, or specialty trade running 5 to 50 jobs a year, there’s a good chance you’re overpaying for complexity you don’t need.

What’s Different About Projul

Projul was built by Kurt Clayson, a former general contractor who used BuilderTrend on his own projects and found it overcomplicated for how his team actually worked. So he built something different.

Here’s how the two compare on the things that matter most:

Pricing

  • BuilderTrend: Starts around $499/mo, scales up with users and features, plus onboarding fees of $400 to $1,500
  • Projul: Core at $4,788/year, Core+ at $7,188/year, Pro at $14,388/year. Annual billing. No per-user fees on any plan. No onboarding fees.

The big difference: Projul’s pricing is flat. Add your entire crew, your office staff, your subs who need read-only access. The price doesn’t change. With BuilderTrend, every new person who needs access can push your bill higher. See full pricing details.

Ease of use

  • BuilderTrend: Weeks of training to get your team comfortable. Heavy interface with features most contractors never touch.
  • Projul: Most teams are up and running in a day or two. The interface focuses on what contractors actually use daily.

Mobile experience

  • BuilderTrend: Frequent complaints about crashes, slow loading, and confusing navigation on the mobile app
  • Projul: Native mobile app built specifically for field crews. Clock in, check the schedule, pull up plans, snap photos, submit daily logs. Your guys figure it out without a training session.

Estimating

  • BuilderTrend: Has estimating tools, but they’re buried in a complex interface
  • Projul: Estimating is a core feature with templates that speed up bid creation

Scheduling

  • BuilderTrend: Solid scheduling, but part of a cluttered platform
  • Projul: Clean scheduling that your foremen actually look at because it’s simple to read and update from their phone

Support

  • BuilderTrend: Large support team, but response times have gotten slower based on recent user reviews
  • Projul: Smaller team that includes people who’ve actually worked in construction. You talk to someone who understands your problems.

The Real Cost Comparison: BuilderTrend vs Projul

Let’s talk money, because that’s where BuilderTrend hurts the most.

BuilderTrend’s Essential plan starts at $499/mo for a single user. That’s right. One user. Need to add your project manager? More money. Your estimator? More money. A foreman who just needs to check the schedule? More money. Every person you add pushes your monthly bill higher.

And it doesn’t stop there. BuilderTrend raises prices every year. Contractors who signed up at one rate two years ago are now paying significantly more for the same features. There’s no loyalty discount. No price lock. Just a bigger invoice every renewal.

Here’s what that looks like for a typical 8 to 10 person team:

BuilderTrend (Essential plan, 8 users):

  • Base price: $499/mo for 1 user
  • Additional users: price increases with each seat
  • Onboarding fee: $400 to $1,500 (one time)
  • Annual price increases: expect 10 to 20% bumps
  • Realistic monthly cost for a small team: $700 to $1,200+

Projul (Core plan, unlimited users):

  • Flat price: $4,788/year
  • Additional users: $0. Add as many as you want.
  • Onboarding fee: $0
  • Annual price increases: none promised or expected
  • Monthly cost for a small team: $399. Period.

Over 12 months, a contractor paying $900/mo for BuilderTrend spends $10,800. That same contractor on Projul Core pays $4,788 per year. That’s over $6,000 back in your pocket. Enough to buy a new tool trailer or fund a week of payroll.

The no per-user pricing is a big deal for growing companies. With BuilderTrend, adding team members feels like a penalty. With Projul, you add people when you need them without worrying about what it does to your software bill. Your office admin, your subs who need read-only access, your spouse who handles the books. Everyone gets in. No extra charge.

Feature-by-Feature Migration Map

One of the biggest concerns contractors have when switching is: “Does Projul have what I actually use in BuilderTrend?” The answer is almost always yes. Here’s a feature-by-feature breakdown so you can see exactly where things land.

Scheduling

  • BuilderTrend: Calendar-based scheduling with Gantt charts. Works fine but lives inside a cluttered interface.
  • Projul: Clean, drag-and-drop scheduling that your foremen can read and update from their phone in seconds. Color-coded by crew, trade, or status.

Estimating

  • BuilderTrend: Estimating tools are available but buried under multiple menus. Template system exists but takes time to set up.
  • Projul: Construction-specific estimating with reusable templates, line-item detail, and the ability to send professional proposals to clients. Built for speed.

Invoicing and Payments

  • BuilderTrend: Invoicing built in with payment processing. Works but can feel clunky.
  • Projul: Simple invoicing tied directly to your estimates and change orders. Send invoices, collect payments, track what’s outstanding. All connected.

CRM (Customer Relationship Management)

  • BuilderTrend: No built-in CRM. You need a separate tool to track leads and follow up with prospects.
  • Projul: Built-in CRM that tracks leads from first contact to signed contract. No extra software needed. No extra cost.

Time Tracking

  • BuilderTrend: Time tracking available but often requires extra steps for field crews.
  • Projul: GPS-enabled time tracking with clock-in/clock-out from the mobile app. Your guys tap a button when they arrive and tap again when they leave.

Daily Logs

  • BuilderTrend: Daily log feature with photo attachments.
  • Projul: Daily logs with photos, notes, weather, and crew hours. Simple enough that your foreman fills it out in under two minutes.

Document Management

  • BuilderTrend: File storage organized by project. Works but can get messy with large projects.
  • Projul: Project-based document storage with easy upload from phone or desktop. Attach plans, permits, photos, and specs to any project.

Change Orders

  • BuilderTrend: Change order tracking built in.
  • Projul: Change orders tied directly to your original estimate. See the impact on your budget in real time. No spreadsheet math needed.

Client Portal

  • BuilderTrend: Customer-facing portal for selections, approvals, and communication.
  • Projul: Client portal where homeowners can view progress, approve change orders, and make payments. Clean and simple.

Reporting

  • BuilderTrend: Reports available but the interface can feel overwhelming.
  • Projul: Job costing reports, time reports, and financial summaries that show you what matters without 47 filters to set first.

The bottom line: if you’re using it in BuilderTrend, there’s a Projul equivalent. And in most cases, it’s simpler to use and faster to learn.

Common Migration Mistakes to Avoid

We’ve helped hundreds of contractors switch from other platforms. Along the way, we’ve seen the same mistakes pop up again and again. Here’s what to watch out for so your switch goes smoothly.

Mistake #1: Trying to move everything at once. This is the biggest trap. You have three years of project data in BuilderTrend, and your instinct is to move all of it. Don’t. Focus on active projects and anything you need for the next 90 days. Old closed-out jobs can stay in BuilderTrend (keep it on read-only for a month or two). You’ll save yourself days of unnecessary work.

Mistake #2: Not training the crew before go-live. Projul is simple, but you still need to show your team the basics before you flip the switch. Spend 15 minutes with your field guys. Walk them through clocking in, checking the schedule, and submitting a daily log. That’s it. If you skip this step, you’ll spend the first week answering the same questions over and over.

Mistake #3: Running both systems for too long. Some contractors keep BuilderTrend and Projul running side by side for months. That’s a mistake. Two systems means double data entry, confused team members, and two software bills. Set a hard cutoff. Two weeks of overlap is enough. After that, everything goes through Projul. Period.

Mistake #4: Rebuilding every template from scratch. You don’t need to recreate every single estimate template, email template, and workflow you had in BuilderTrend. Start with the 3 to 5 templates you use most often. Build the rest as you need them. Projul’s template system is fast, so creating new ones on the fly takes minutes, not hours.

Mistake #5: Not assigning a point person. Every successful migration has one person who owns it. That person makes sure data gets moved, the team gets trained, and questions get answered. Without a point person, the migration drags on and nobody feels responsible. Pick someone. Give them the authority to make it happen.

Mistake #6: Forgetting to download your files first. BuilderTrend does not make it easy to export your data. Before you cancel, download every document, photo, and file you might need. Once your account is closed, that data is gone. Set aside a few hours (or assign it to someone) and get your files out while you still have access.

Avoid these six mistakes and your switch will take days instead of weeks. Most of the pain contractors feel during a migration is self-inflicted. Keep it simple, move fast, and don’t look back.

Your 30-Day Switch Checklist

Here’s a week-by-week plan for switching from BuilderTrend to Projul. Follow this and you’ll be fully running on Projul in less than a month.

Week 1: Set Up and Prep

  • Schedule a demo with Projul and ask your specific questions
  • Choose your Projul plan and sign up (see pricing)
  • Assign a migration point person on your team
  • Start exporting data from BuilderTrend: contacts, active project docs, photos, estimate templates
  • Download any files you want to keep (BuilderTrend won’t let you bulk export, so budget 2 to 3 hours for this)

Week 2: Build Your Foundation

  • Import contacts into Projul
  • Set up your top 3 to 5 estimate templates in Projul’s estimating tool
  • Create your active projects in Projul with key details (name, client, address, scope)
  • Set up your schedule for the next 2 to 4 weeks
  • Configure your CRM pipeline for any open leads
  • Invite your team to Projul and assign roles

Week 3: Go Live

  • Train field crews on the mobile app (15 to 20 minutes max)
  • Train office staff on estimating, scheduling, and invoicing
  • Start all new projects in Projul only
  • Use Projul for daily logs, time tracking, and scheduling on active jobs
  • Reference BuilderTrend only for historical data on older projects
  • Collect feedback from your team and address any questions

Week 4: Cut Over

  • Confirm all active projects are in Projul and up to date
  • Verify all critical files have been downloaded from BuilderTrend
  • Downgrade or cancel your BuilderTrend subscription
  • Remove BuilderTrend app from team phones (reduces confusion)
  • Celebrate saving $200 to $500+ per month

By the end of Week 4, BuilderTrend is in your rearview mirror. Your team is working in one system. Your software bill is lower. And your field crews are actually using the app instead of ignoring it.

What You’ll Gain After Switching

Switching software isn’t just about escaping problems. It should actually make your business run better. Here’s what contractors tell us after moving from BuilderTrend to Projul:

Your crew actually uses the software. This is the biggest win. If your team stopped using BuilderTrend because it was too complicated, Projul changes that. When your field guys are logging time, updating schedules, and submitting daily reports from their phone, you finally get the visibility you were paying for all along.

Your monthly cost becomes predictable. No more surprises when you add a project manager or bring on a new foreman. Flat pricing means you know exactly what you’re paying every month, and you can add people without doing mental math about your software bill.

Faster estimates, more won jobs. Projul’s estimating tools let you build and send professional estimates faster. Less time on estimates means more time bidding on work. Contractors who switch often tell us they’re getting estimates out the door in half the time.

Better job costing visibility. When your time tracking, material costs, and change orders all live in one place, you can see exactly how a job is performing while it’s still in progress. Not after it’s done. Not after you’ve already lost money. While you can still do something about it.

Less time on admin, more time building. The point of construction software is to save you time, not create more work. When the software is simple enough that your team actually uses it, you spend less time chasing down updates, re-entering data, and fixing mistakes.

What to Expect During the Switch

Let’s be honest about this. No software migration is completely painless. But switching from BuilderTrend to Projul is a lot simpler than you might think.

Timeline: 1 to 2 weeks for most companies. You could have Projul set up and your team using it within a day or two. The extra time is for migrating data and running both systems in parallel until you’re confident.

What transfers easily:

  • Contact lists and customer information
  • Active project details (names, addresses, scope notes)
  • Documents and photos (manual download from BuilderTrend, upload to Projul)
  • Estimate templates (rebuild in Projul, usually faster than your originals)

What doesn’t transfer directly:

  • BuilderTrend doesn’t offer bulk export, so historical project data stays in BuilderTrend
  • Financial history and closed-out job records (keep BuilderTrend active in read-only mode for reference)
  • Custom workflows and automations (these need to be recreated)

The honest truth: You won’t move everything, and you don’t need to. Focus on active projects and go-forward data. Keep your BuilderTrend account active for 30 to 60 days so you can reference old stuff. Then cancel it.

Step-by-Step Migration Plan

Here’s a practical plan for switching. This is what we recommend based on how other contractors have done it successfully.

  1. Schedule a demo with Projul. Before you commit, see the software in action. Bring your specific questions. Tell the team what you use in BuilderTrend today so they can show you exactly where those features live in Projul.

  2. Pick your plan and sign up. Look at Projul’s pricing page and choose the plan that fits. Core works for smaller teams. Core+ adds more features. Pro gives you the full suite with unlimited users.

  3. Export what you can from BuilderTrend. Download your contact lists, active project documents, photos, and any estimate templates you want to keep. This is the tedious part since BuilderTrend doesn’t make it easy. Focus on active and upcoming projects first. Don’t waste time on jobs you closed two years ago.

  4. Set up your Projul account. The Projul onboarding team walks you through setup. Import your contacts. Create your project templates. Set up your estimate templates. This usually takes a few hours, not days.

  5. Migrate active projects. Move your current projects into Projul. Enter the key details: project name, address, client info, schedule, and budget. Attach relevant documents. You don’t need to recreate the entire history. Just get enough in there so your team can pick up where they left off.

  6. Get your team on board. Here’s where Projul shines. Show your field guys the mobile app. Let them poke around for 15 minutes. Most of them will figure it out on their own. For office staff, the Projul team offers quick training sessions that cover the day-to-day workflows.

  7. Run both systems for one to two weeks. Keep BuilderTrend active while your team gets comfortable with Projul. Use Projul for all new work. Reference BuilderTrend only when you need historical info.

  8. Cancel BuilderTrend. Once your team is running smoothly on Projul (usually within two weeks), downgrade or cancel your BuilderTrend subscription. Make sure you’ve downloaded anything you need before you do.

What BuilderTrend Customers Complain About Most

If you spend any time reading reviews on G2, Capterra, or Reddit, the same complaints about BuilderTrend come up over and over. This isn’t cherry-picking. These are patterns across hundreds of reviews from real contractors.

Constant price hikes with no warning. Contractors sign up at one rate and then get hit with a 15 to 20% increase at renewal. No new features. No explanation. Just a bigger bill. Multiple reviewers mention feeling trapped because their data is inside the platform and leaving feels like too much work. That’s not loyalty. That’s lock-in.

The mobile app is unreliable on job sites. Field crews report the app crashing mid-entry, losing daily log data, and taking forever to load on spotty cell connections. Construction sites don’t have perfect WiFi. Software that falls apart without a strong signal is software that doesn’t work where it matters most.

Too many clicks to do simple things. Logging a daily update, checking tomorrow’s schedule, or finding a document takes too many taps and too many screens. When your framing crew has 90 seconds between tasks to check something, five screens of navigation is a dealbreaker. They’ll just stop using it, and most of them do.

Support response times have slipped. Early reviews of BuilderTrend praise the support team. Recent reviews tell a different story. Longer wait times. Reps who don’t understand construction workflows. Canned responses that don’t solve the actual problem. As the company has grown, the personal touch that contractors liked has faded.

Onboarding is a project in itself. Multiple reviewers describe onboarding taking 4 to 8 weeks before their team felt comfortable. For a contractor running active jobs, that’s a month or two of reduced productivity. And at $499+/mo, you’re paying full price the entire time you’re still figuring the software out.

Features that sound great but don’t work well in practice. BuilderTrend markets a long list of features. But contractors report that many of those features feel half-baked. The estimating tool is clunky. The reporting is hard to customize. The client portal confuses homeowners. Having 100 features means nothing if 60 of them create more friction than they solve.

These aren’t complaints from contractors who hate technology. These are complaints from people who wanted the software to work and felt let down. If any of this sounds familiar, you’re not being unreasonable. You’re just ready for something that actually fits how your business operates.

How the Data Migration Process Actually Works

This is the part that scares most contractors away from switching. You picture weeks of data entry, lost files, and chaos on your active jobs. The reality is a lot simpler than that.

Step 1: Figure out what you actually need to bring over. Most contractors have years of project data in BuilderTrend. Here’s the truth: you don’t need 90% of it. Closed-out jobs from 2022? Leave them. That kitchen remodel you finished last spring? It can stay. Focus on three things: your active projects, your contact list, and any templates you use regularly.

Step 2: Export contacts from BuilderTrend. BuilderTrend lets you export your contact list as a CSV file. This is one of the few things they make reasonably easy. Download it, clean up any duplicates or outdated entries, and import it into Projul. The Projul onboarding team can help with field mapping so everything lands in the right place.

Step 3: Download documents and photos from active projects. This is the tedious part. BuilderTrend does not have a “download everything” button. You need to go project by project and download the files you want to keep. Plans, permits, contracts, progress photos. Budget 2 to 4 hours for this depending on how many active projects you have. Pro tip: assign this to someone on your team who’s organized and give them a clear folder structure to follow.

Step 4: Rebuild your estimate templates in Projul. Don’t try to replicate every template you ever created. Pick the 3 to 5 you use most often and build those first. Projul’s estimating tool uses a straightforward line-item format that most contractors find faster than what they had in BuilderTrend. You can build the rest as you need them over the next few weeks.

Step 5: Create your active projects in Projul. For each active job, enter the basics: project name, client, address, scope, and current status. Upload the documents you downloaded. Set up the schedule. This goes faster than you think because you’re not recreating history. You’re just giving your team what they need to keep working.

Step 6: Let Projul’s onboarding team help. This is the part most contractors don’t expect. Projul’s team actually walks you through the migration. They help you set up your account, import your data, and configure things the way you want them. No extra charge. No onboarding fee. Just people who’ve done this dozens of times helping you get it right.

The whole process takes most contractors 3 to 5 days of actual work, spread across a week or two. That’s it. You’re not rebuilding your business from scratch. You’re moving into a better tool and bringing the important stuff with you. For more context on finding the right fit, see our guide to the best construction software.

Pricing Savings at Different Team Sizes

The cost difference between BuilderTrend and Projul gets bigger as your team grows. Here’s what the numbers look like at three common team sizes.

Solo contractor or 2-person team. BuilderTrend Essential starts at $499/mo for one user. Add a second user and you’re looking at $550 to $600/mo depending on current pricing. That’s $6,600 to $7,200 per year for two people. Projul Core is $4,788/year with unlimited users. You save $1,800 to $2,400 in year one. Not life-changing money, but that’s a new miter saw and a trailer full of lumber.

5 to 8 person team. This is where BuilderTrend gets painful. You’ve got an office manager, a project manager, two or three foremen, and maybe a part-time estimator. On BuilderTrend, you’re realistically at $800 to $1,100/mo once everyone has a seat. That’s $9,600 to $13,200 per year. Projul Core+ at $7,188/year gives everyone access with no per-user fees. You save $2,400 to $6,000 per year. That’s real money. That covers a truck payment or a quarter of an apprentice’s salary.

10 to 20 person team. This is where the math gets wild. BuilderTrend at this team size can run $1,200 to $2,000+/mo depending on the plan and add-ons. That’s $14,400 to $24,000+ per year. Projul Pro at $14,388/year includes unlimited users and the full feature set. You could save $10,000+ per year compared to BuilderTrend. Over three years, that’s $30,000. Enough to fund a piece of equipment or hire another crew member.

The per-user trap. The reason BuilderTrend gets so expensive is per-user pricing. Every time you hire someone, promote someone, or bring on a sub who needs access, your software bill goes up. That creates a weird incentive where you limit who has access to save money. So your foreman can’t check the schedule because you didn’t want to pay for another seat. That’s backwards. Software should make your team more connected, not less.

With Projul, there’s no decision to make. Everyone gets access. Your office admin, your subs who need read-only visibility, your bookkeeper, your spouse who handles billing on weekends. Everyone’s in. Same price. That’s how construction project management software should work.

Feature Gaps BuilderTrend Users Don’t Expect

When contractors switch from BuilderTrend to Projul, they’re usually prepared for the features they already know about. What surprises them are the things Projul does that BuilderTrend either doesn’t do or charges extra for.

Built-in CRM at no extra cost. BuilderTrend does not include a CRM. If you want to track leads, manage follow-ups, and see where prospects are in your sales pipeline, you need a separate tool. That means another monthly bill, another login, and another system to maintain. Projul includes a full CRM in every plan. Leads come in, you track them through your pipeline, and when they sign a contract, the project gets created right there. No extra software. No extra cost.

GPS time tracking that actually works on job sites. BuilderTrend has time tracking, but contractors consistently report that it’s clunky on mobile and crews don’t like using it. Projul’s time tracking uses GPS verification so you can see where your guys clocked in and out. It’s one tap to start, one tap to stop. No navigating through three menus to find the time clock.

Faster estimating with less setup. BuilderTrend’s estimating tool works, but setting up templates takes a long time and the interface isn’t intuitive. Contractors who switch to Projul are usually surprised at how fast they can build estimates. The line-item system is clean, templates are easy to create, and you can send a professional proposal to a client in minutes instead of fighting with formatting.

QuickBooks integration that doesn’t fight you. Both platforms offer QuickBooks integration. But BuilderTrend users frequently report sync issues, duplicate entries, and data that doesn’t match between the two systems. Projul’s QuickBooks integration is straightforward. Your invoices sync. Your payments sync. Your bookkeeper doesn’t call you every month asking why the numbers don’t match.

A client portal homeowners actually understand. BuilderTrend has a client-facing portal, but homeowners often find it confusing. They get lost in menus, can’t find their selections, or don’t know how to approve a change order. Projul’s client portal is stripped down on purpose. Homeowners see their project progress, approve what needs approving, and make payments. That’s it. No learning curve for them means fewer phone calls for you.

Real human support from people who get construction. This one’s hard to put on a feature comparison chart, but it matters. When you call Projul’s support team, you talk to people who understand what a punch list is, who know why scheduling matters when the concrete truck is coming Tuesday, and who’ve helped contractors like you solve real problems. That’s a different experience from waiting in a queue and getting a scripted response from someone who’s never set foot on a job site.

Offline mode that doesn’t lose your work. Job sites in rural areas, basements, and metal buildings have terrible cell service. BuilderTrend users report losing daily log entries and time clock data when the connection drops. Projul’s mobile app is built to handle spotty connections. Your data saves locally and syncs when you’re back online. Your foreman doesn’t have to walk to the parking lot to get a signal just to clock out.

No onboarding fee. BuilderTrend charges $400 to $1,500 just to get started. That’s money out the door before you’ve even used the software. Projul’s onboarding is included in every plan. You get setup help, training, and migration support at no additional cost. When you’re already spending money on a new tool, not paying a fee just to learn how to use it matters.

None of these are gimmicks or niche features. They’re the everyday tools that make your business run. When you’re evaluating a switch, look beyond the feature checklist and ask yourself: “Will my team actually use this every day?” If the answer is yes, the switch pays for itself faster than you think.

Ready to Make the Switch?

If BuilderTrend has been costing you more than it’s worth, or if your crew gave up on it months ago, switching to Projul is simpler than you think. Flat pricing, a mobile app your guys will actually use, and software built by someone who’s been in your boots.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does it take to switch from BuilderTrend to Projul?
Most contractors are fully up and running on Projul within one to two weeks. The software itself takes a day or two to learn. The rest of the time goes toward moving your active project data and getting your crew comfortable with the new system.
Can I import my BuilderTrend data into Projul?
Projul's onboarding team helps you migrate contacts, active project details, and key documents. BuilderTrend does not offer a bulk export tool, so some data needs to be moved manually. The Projul team walks you through what to prioritize so you're not wasting time on old closed-out jobs.
Will my crew actually use Projul if they struggled with BuilderTrend?
This is the number one reason contractors switch. Projul's mobile app was built for field crews who don't want to sit through training. Most guys are using it by lunch on day one. If your team gave up on BuilderTrend because it was too complicated, Projul is a different experience.
What happens to my BuilderTrend account after I switch?
Keep your BuilderTrend account active in read-only mode for 30 to 60 days after switching. This gives you time to reference old project data while you get settled in Projul. Once you've confirmed everything you need has been moved over, you can cancel BuilderTrend.
