A Procore alternative built for small and mid-size GCs
Procore is a strong platform - if you run a large operation with a dedicated PM staff and an enterprise budget. Its pricing is custom-quoted and aimed at companies running many projects at once. If you're a 2-20 person general contractor, you usually end up paying for a lot of platform you don't use.
IQ Builders does one job and does it fast: getting you from plans to a priced estimate. No modules to configure, no implementation project, no sales call required to see a price.
What you get with IQ Builders
- AI takeoff. Upload plans and let the AI measure rooms, doors and areas for you. Review and adjust anything it marks - you stay in control of the numbers.
- Real estimating, not spreadsheets. Build the estimate from your takeoff, price it with your own labor and material rates, and send a clean proposal.
- Per-seat pricing you can see on the website. Starter is free. Paid plans start at $69/user/mo (currently 20% off standard pricing). The AI Takeoff add-on is $39/user/mo with 30 takeoffs included.
- Free view-only seats. Your whole crew can be in the system. You only pay for the people who actually estimate - not for viewers.

Who should stay with Procore
If you run dozens of concurrent projects, need company-wide project management, financials and field tools in one enterprise system, and have the budget for it - Procore is built for exactly that. We'd rather you pick the tool that fits.
Who IQ Builders is for
The GC who writes estimates at night after the crew goes home. The 5-50 person shop that needs takeoff and pricing to be fast, not another enterprise system to administer.
