Built for builders, not billion-dollar budgets.
Procore is built for enterprise construction — £20M+ commercial jobs with dedicated admin teams. If that's not you, its volume-based pricing and weeks-long rollout aren't sized for your business. BRCKS gives a UK residential team the parts you'd actually use, at £40 a seat, with your trades on WhatsApp.
The 30-second answer
Choose Procore if…
- You run £20M+ of commercial work with enterprise financials and submittal chains.
- You need 400+ integrations and a mature API, with someone to administer it.
Choose BRCKS if…
- You're a UK residential builder (2–20 staff) needing the day job — tasks, updates, diary, snagging, RFIs, variations, safety.
- You want to skip the enterprise pricing and the weeks of training.

Where Procore wins
Enterprise scale
£20M+ commercial jobs, hundreds of collaborators, submittal chains that need managing across a supply chain. Procore is built for exactly this.
Unlimited everything included
Unlimited users, unlimited storage, 24/7 support in every contract. When you're rolling out to a 200-person firm, that matters.
400+ integrations and a real API
The marketplace is deep, and the API is open. Fit it into any enterprise IT stack.
Full construction financials
Budgets, pay applications, bidding and analytics — end-to-end financials at enterprise scale.
Where BRCKS wins
Price you can see and afford
£40 a seat, published, monthly option. Not a volume-based quote that grows with your turnover.
Adoption
Plasterers don't log into portals; they text WhatsApp. BRCKS meets them there.
The right amount of software
RFIs, variations, drawings, snagging, safety, diary at residential scale — not 400 features you'll never open.
UK-native
GBP, CIS/VAT-aware, UK trade language. Not "internationally available" — built here.
Which should you choose?
If you're Sub-£10M UK residential builder
Choose BRCKS. Right feature set, right price, adopted by trades on day one.
If you're £20M+ commercial / main contractor with dedicated admin
Choose Procore. Enterprise workflows, integrations and financials at the scale you're operating. That's Procore's remit.
If you're In between (£10–20M), or a client insists on Procore
Choose Both. Trial BRCKS on one project; keep Procore where a client contract specifies it.
Frequently asked questions
How much does Procore cost?
No public prices; a custom annual fee based on your construction volume, with unlimited users. Third-party reports put small firms at roughly $10,000–30,000/year plus implementation. If your turnover grows, the price typically follows.
Is BRCKS suitable for commercial projects?
Small commercial, yes. £50M towers with 200 subcontractors, no — that's Procore's home turf and we'll say so.
Does Procore charge per user?
No — unlimited users is one of Procore's genuine strengths. The cost is the platform fee itself, which is sized for enterprises.
Can BRCKS handle RFIs and variations?
Yes — creation, tracking, and an external portal where clients or consultants respond and sign off, with an audit trail.
Do my subcontractors really get free access?
Yes, unlimited, forever — via WhatsApp or the app.
Can I run BRCKS and Procore at the same time?
Yes, no conflict. Many builders trial BRCKS on one job while Procore contracts run down.
