Our verdict

Brilliant for builders running bigger or multi-storey jobs. Overkill for small trades.

Best for: Builders and project managers on medium to large projects

AI features

  • Automatic mapping of 360° captures to plans

Other site photos & progress reports tools

Buildertrend

Partly AU-friendly

Residential construction management: schedules, client portal, daily logs and photos.

Verdict: Strong client-portal features for home builders, but AU builders should compare it with Buildxact and local options first.

Price: See site. Custom quote based on annual construction volume.

CompanyCam

Partly AU-friendly

Job site photo app with AI reports, checklists, captions and summaries.

Verdict: The best dedicated site-photo app around. The AI reports save real time for client updates, but USD pricing adds up for bigger crews.

Price: Core US$79/month (1–2 users), Crew US$149/month (3 users), Scale US$299/month (3 users). Cheaper annually. Extra users cost more.

Procore

🇦🇺 AU-friendly

Construction management platform with AI agents, priced by construction volume.

Verdict: The heavyweight for commercial builders. If you're a subbie, you'll probably use it because your builder does, not because you'd buy it.

Price: See site. Annual fee based on products and annual construction volume, with unlimited users. AI plans priced separately.
