Work out your number

One building, one model, one build fee.

Tell us the building type and size. You pay to build its 3D model once. Use it in BuiltOS for no extra build fee.

What is the model for?
Every level gives you a record you keep. Upgrade later and pay only the difference.

What drawings can you hand over?
Portfolio pricing starts at five.

What you are paying for

One plan, one model.

The 3D model is for changing the building. The record is for running it. You get every feature at every size. Only the price changes with building size.

Commercial · the 3D model

Own the model and change it.

For owners, developers and anyone pricing a refit before committing to it.

  • 3D model — walk the building, jump to any room by name.
  • Modify — edit the geometry itself, versioned, with real undo.
  • Materials — real finishes on real surfaces: cladding, brick, tile, paint.
  • Furnish — thousands of furniture and equipment items at true size.
  • Analyze — measure, section and inspect off the model, not a scale rule.
  • Takeoff reports — contractor-ready quantities off live geometry.
  • Ask about the model — the agent answers from the model: scope, cost and an RFQ back.
Commercial · the record

Run what is inside it.

For operators, facilities teams and anyone who gets the call when something breaks.

  • Asset register — every unit on the thing itself, not in a spreadsheet.
  • Work orders — raised against the asset, with its history attached.
  • Warranties — know what is still covered before you pay for it.
  • CapEx planning — what gets replaced when, and this year’s work booked against it.
  • QR & NFC intake — anyone reports a fault by tapping the tag. No app, no login.
  • Vendor sign-off — contractors close out against the record before they invoice.
  • Unlimited users — the price follows the building, never the headcount.

Why both

A 3D model nobody uses goes out of date. The record keeps it current: every repair and warranty lands on it. It works without a model too, and with one, every machine sits in a real room you can walk to. That is why the build fee is once per building, and people who only view, comment or sign off are free.

Three ways to build it

Three levels of detail.

Pick the level that fits your next job. Upgrade later and pay only the difference.

01 · Operational

From $900

For running the building: the model you operate from every day.

  • Rooms, zones and major geometry
  • Equipment and asset locations
  • QR tags, work history, warranties
  • Usable measurements and navigation
02 · Design

From $2,700

For changing the building: renovations, PIPs, brand refreshes, refits.

  • Everything in Operational, plus:
  • Precise room geometry and openings
  • Finishes, materials, FF&E at true size
  • Areas, quantities and takeoff reports
  • Revit / BIM deliverable
03 · Architectural

From $5,000

For designing and coordinating the work: the existing-conditions package an architect would otherwise commission.

  • Everything in Design, plus:
  • Ceiling conditions, millwork, soffits
  • Survey-grade tolerances
  • MEP coordination
  • Construction-document deliverables

The ladder

Prices for all 158 property types.

Pick a level to see prices. Each is for a typical building in that size band; yours moves with your actual size. The two largest bands get a starting price, and we quote the rest with you.

BandWhat it coversTypes Operational build Monthly

Monthly figures are per property at list and do not change with the mapping level: what you pay to run the software does not depend on how the model was made. Portfolio pricing takes 10% off at five properties and rises to 35% at 250; annual and multi-year terms take a further 10% and 15%.

Why it costs less

The same deliverable, without the survey crew.

Traditional firms send a crew to survey the building, then model it by hand. We start from the drawings you have, and BuiltOS Desktop does the modelling. That is why we usually cost less.

Mapping levelComparable engagement TraditionalBuiltOSYou pay
OperationalAs-built model from drawings, LOD 200 $0.50–2.10/sq ft $0.18/sq ft 9–36%
DesignLOD 300 with finishes and FF&E $0.50–2.10/sq ft $0.54/sq ft 26–108%
ArchitecturalMeasured survey plus construction-document BIM $2.00–10.00/sq ft $1.00/sq ft 10–50%

Traditional figures are published market rates for the equivalent deliverable; ours are the median across the 158 property types. At the top of a traditional quote (a dense building, a tight programme, a full measured survey) a BuiltOS build lands at around a tenth of it. At the bottom of the range the gap narrows, and for a straightforward Design job it can be comparable. We would rather show you the range than pick the flattering end of it.

The fine print, in plain words

What else you should know.

Prices are in USD and billed per account. Taxes may apply depending on where you are. Portfolio, estate and infrastructure pricing is quoted.

More pricing answers
Who pays, and who is free?
You pay for people who edit or export. Stakeholders you invite to look, comment and sign off cost nothing, however many there are.
Is the build fee charged more than once?
No. One build fee per building, not again later, whether you use the model to change the building or to run it.
How are AI and file conversions billed?
Metered, not bundled. AI copilot usage and file conversions such as Revit are billed on what you actually use, itemised line by line. Nothing is padded in just in case.
Can I change my mind?
New plans carry a full refund for fourteen days (the refund policy spells it out), and you can cancel from Billing at any time.
Is BuiltOS Desktop on this ladder?
No. No licence key and no seat. Install it on Windows, connect your own AI provider account, and pay that provider directly for what it uses.
What happens to the model if I sell the building?
Export the model and the records. If you sell the building, the model goes with it: that is the point of owning rather than renting one.
Can I move up a level later?
Whenever you like. Operational today, Design when the refit starts. Upgrading costs exactly the difference, never the full price again, and never a rebuild.
What if there are no drawings?
It is not a dead end. If nothing usable exists we arrange for the building to be measured on site. It carries a premium because it is real work, but it is a price on this page, not a refusal.
