Procore alternatives for trade contractors
Procore is built for general contractors. If you run scope under one, you spend half your day inside someone else’s system. Biltix is the workspace your shop owns — bids, RFIs, submittals, COs, and pay apps in one place across every GC you work with.
The trade contractor problem
Why teams running scope under a GC look beyond Procore
GC platforms a mid-size trade logs into every week. Procore is one of them — but rarely the only one. Each GC picks their own.
Procore’s workflows assume the GC is the customer. Sub licenses are read-only or limited — your team can’t run their own process inside it.
Procore typically prices on a percentage of annual construction volume. Most trade contractors find per-job pricing more aligned with how their work actually fluctuates.

The Biltix difference
Built for the trade contractor side of the job
One workspace your shop owns
Trade contractors juggle multiple GC platforms across multiple jobs. Biltix is the workspace that travels with your shop — bids, RFIs, submittals, COs, and pay apps in one place, regardless of which GC system the project lives in.
AI that runs takeoff and drafts the paperwork
Drop in a drawing set and BRIX extracts your scope with quantities, callouts, and CSI mapping. Drafts RFI responses against the spec PDFs. Watches your submittal queue. You review and send.
Pay apps and CO requests built for subs
AIA G702/G703 generation from actual progress, retention tracking by job and GC, CO requests with cost and schedule impact rolled into your forecast. Not a sub-license on someone else’s GC tool.
Per-job pricing, not per-seat
Bring estimators, PMs, foremen, accounting, suppliers — without per-user math. Custom pricing tailored to your shop’s job volume and the workflows you need first.
FAQ
Common questions
Is Biltix a replacement for Procore?
No — and that’s the point. Procore is the system your GC uses. Biltix is the workspace your shop owns. You still log into Procore when your GC requires it; Biltix is where your team’s own bids, RFIs, submittals, COs, and pay apps live — across every job, regardless of which GC platform that job runs on.
Why not just use the sub-license on Procore my GC gives me?
Because most trades work under multiple GCs — you end up with three or four different platforms, each with its own login, file structure, and notification chaos. Biltix is the layer that travels with you. You read every GC’s data and run your own process on top.
How does pricing compare?
Procore prices on a percentage of annual construction volume — typical contracts run $30K–$100K+ per year for a mid-size sub. Biltix is in early access with custom pricing tailored per shop — contact us for a quote.
Can Biltix replace Fieldwire for daily reports and field tasks?
Yes. Daily reports, crew hours, punch list, and photo capture are all native in Biltix, with offline mobile capture and hours rolling into job cost.
What if my GC requires me to use Procore?
You still do — you log into Procore the same way. Biltix is where your shop’s own work lives: your bids, your RFIs, your submittals, your COs, your pay apps. The GC sees their Procore; you see your Biltix. One workspace your team owns across every job and every GC.
How long does switching take?
Most teams run their first bid through Biltix the same week they sign up. Active jobs migrate as you go — pay apps next month, RFIs and COs as they come in. There is no six-month rollout.
