Migration playbook

Your jobs come with you.

Contacts, projects, budgets, schedules, change orders, bills, payments, daily logs and documents move into CPro360 through a guided import we run for you. Here's exactly what moves, the process we follow, how long it takes — and what to expect.

On CoConstruct? Start your exports this week.

CoConstruct is being folded into Buildertrend, and access may be time-limited.

Buildertrend acquired CoConstruct and is moving its customers over. Before anything else, export every module for every job — open and closed — and keep local copies. We'll walk you through it on a screen-share; the export checklist is below.

Scope

What moves

Moves imported as-is With notes imported, with a known translation Archived kept as documents, not live records

Contacts

Moves
  • Clients / homeowners — name, contact, email, phone, address, notes
  • Subcontractors & suppliers — trade, license & expiry, insurance expiry, tax ID
  • Certificate of Insurance (COI) and W-9 documents re-attached to each sub, so they're payment-ready from day one

Jobs

Moves
  • Every project — name, address, client, status, start / target end
  • The client-portal link, and team assignments — matched by email once each person has accepted their CPro360 invite (logins are never copied over)
  • Open jobs in full detail; closed jobs as summarised records (see Money)

Budgets & estimates

With notes
  • Your cost-code list — mapped to NAHB / CSI where it lines up, kept as custom codes where it doesn't. Nothing dropped.
  • Live budget lines with budgeted vs. actual
  • Estimates and proposals with markups; allowances and optional items preserved
  • Selections come over as allowance lines plus your selection sheets as documents — CPro360 doesn't yet have a dedicated selections workflow

Schedule

With notes
  • Tasks, phases, dates, progress, assignees and the sub on each task
  • Finish-to-start dependencies move directly
  • Start-to-start / finish-to-finish links and lags are linked as finish-to-start with your original dates kept, and flagged on the task — the reconciliation sheet lists every one so you can review them

Financials

Moves
  • Change orders (approved and implemented, with their budget impact)
  • Subcontracts and purchase orders with their committed amounts
  • Vendor bills and payments, coded to the right budget line so actuals roll up — payments that settle a bill mark it paid
  • Material and equipment spend comes across the same way: as bills and payments coded to the budget
  • Rows already in your QuickBooks are marked as synced, so nothing is double-booked when the sync reconnects

Field records

With notes
  • Daily logs → CPro360's Journal, our daily log (date, notes, weather, crew count) with their photos attached
  • Owner draw schedules → payment installments on the job (planned, due, paid)
  • To-dos, punch lists, RFIs, permits and inspections are filed as documents on the job (see below), not re-created as live records

Documents & photos

Moves
  • Plans, contracts, photos, selection sheets — one folder per job, with your sub-folders kept as the document folders
  • Bulk-loaded from your export folders in batches; large volumes are fine, we schedule them, and a re-run replaces instead of duplicating
  • Home assets (appliances, finishes, warranties) for the client portal

Not migrated as live records

Archived
  • Message & comment history — exported to PDF and filed under the job's documents; you start fresh in Communications
  • Owner invoices — the draw schedule becomes payment installments (above); the invoice PDFs are filed
  • Warranty claims, punch lists, RFIs, permits, inspections — your exports are filed under the job's documents
  • Time clock / crew hours — stays in your payroll tool
Sequence

The import runs in build order

Each layer depends on the one before it — a budget line needs its job and cost code; a payment needs its job, sub and bill. We load in this order so every link lands.

Process

Five phases, one sign-off gate

01

Discovery

Kick-off. We count your jobs (open vs. closed), users, subs and document volume; confirm what each module can export; agree what's full-detail vs. summarised; set the cutover date and freeze window.

1 week
02

Export & mapping

You run the exports (we screen-share). We normalise them into our import templates, build the cost-code and status maps, resolve duplicate vendors and clients, and dry-run every file until it validates clean.

1–2 weeks
03

Staging & validation

A full trial load into a staging workspace. You click through three to five representative jobs end to end. We produce the reconciliation sheet — counts and money totals per job, source vs. CPro360.

Cutover

Old system goes read-only. We re-export what changed since staging, load production in build order, reconnect QuickBooks if you use it, and invite your users.

Hypercare

Daily check-ins the first week. Anything we missed is fixed with a targeted re-import — imports are repeatable and safe to re-run.

How we handle the financials

Open jobs — full detail

Budget lines, commitments, bills, payments and change orders, all linked. This is what makes your budget tab correct on day one.

Closed jobs — summarised

One project record with budget vs. actual totals, implemented change orders as totals, and every document. Cheaper to migrate, and it's what people actually look back at.

QuickBooks stays your ledger

We don't rebuild accounting history. We import the operational payments open jobs need, then reconnect your QuickBooks sync — with migrated rows marked so nothing is double-booked.

Reconciled to the cent

Per job: total budget, change-order total, committed, invoiced, paid and actual — source vs. CPro360. Every skipped row is listed with its reason. Nothing is silently dropped.

Your part

What we'll ask you to do

Export checklist

  • Every module, for every job (open and closed): budget & financials, schedule, change orders, selections & allowances, bills & payments, daily logs, to-dos & punch lists
  • Your account-wide lists: clients, subcontractors & suppliers, cost codes, and leads
  • All files and photos per job, as a folder per job with the sub-folders intact (a zip is fine — we unpack it)
  • Name each file with the job and the module it came from — for example Smith Residence – Budget.xlsx — so we can match everything up
  • Your QuickBooks setup: Online / Desktop / none, and whether the platform syncs to it today

Discovery questions

  1. How many jobs — open vs. closed? Which closed jobs do you still look at?
  2. Users (office + field), subs, clients — rough counts. Do clients use the portal?
  3. Is your accounting in QuickBooks? Synced today?
  4. How heavily do you use Selections / Allowances? Owner draws? Warranty?
  5. Which modules can you export? CoConstruct: when does your access end?
  6. Document / photo volume (GB); keep the folder structure?
  7. Preferred cutover window and how long you can freeze the old system.
Timeline

What it takes

TrackCalendarYour effortNotes
From CoConstruct4–6 wks~2 wksExports first — access may be time-limited. Selections-heavy accounts need a little more mapping time.
From Buildertrend4–6 wks~2 wksDocument and photo volumes tend to be larger; purchase orders map cleanly.

Migrations are run for you by the CPro360 team as a professional-services engagement, quoted per migration — you're never left to import on your own.

Next

Two things to do this week

1. Send us your exports

Run the checklist above — or book a screen-share and we'll do it together. On CoConstruct, this is the first thing to do.

2. Answer the discovery questions

Seven short answers let us size the work, set the cutover date and tell you up front exactly what will and won't move.
