Constructive vs Tenon

Constructive is a customer experience platform for home builders, covering the client journey from pre-construction through selections and maintenance. Its Customer Portal gives clients build progress, site photos, documents and contacts, with information updated automatically. Online Selections provides a digital showroom for choosing colours, fixtures, finishes and appliances, with more than 90,000 items accompanied by photos, textures and descriptions. The 3D Selections product creates a client-specific internal and external model from the builder’s working drawings. Maintenance guides defect reporting and stores details, images, comments and statuses centrally. The branded mobile app supports push notifications, and the product is available on Android, iOS and the web. Customer Portal survey integrations include SurveyMonkey, Zoho and Qualtrics, with surveys triggerable at key milestones. The company describes authenticator-app codes as an additional login protection option. Plans are priced per job, and the pricing page sets a minimum licence spend of $6,600 per year; listed prices exclude GST. The company was founded in 2016 and is based in Perth, Western Australia.

Tenon is construction management software for working contractors, bringing project and business workflows into one system. Its tools cover estimates, proposals, Gantt scheduling, daily logs, budgets, invoicing, change orders, RFIs, and client portals. Sage, the AI assistant, answers project questions, cites records, drafts change orders and proposals, and uses per-user permissions. Native iOS and Android apps provide field logs, timers, and RFIs; the iOS app also supports Apple Watch and CarPlay. Tenon lists QuickBooks sync for invoicing and an MCP integration for Claude.ai and other MCP clients. Field workers, subcontractors, and clients are free on every plan, while paid seats are for office users. Starter costs $49 a month billed per user and includes up to three Builder seats and unlimited Field seats; Pro is $129 a month billed per user, and Enterprise is $249 a month billed per user. There is no free plan, but a 30-day trial is offered. Customer data is stored in AWS Canada (ca-central-1); customers can export it to CSV, PDF, or JSON, and Tenon says it does not hold data after cancellation. SOC 2 Type II is in audit.
