01Does Top Builder AI replace Procore?
No. Procore stays your system of record for projects, and we never touch its project-management workflows. Top Builder AI installs alongside it through a read-only OAuth connection, reads your project, financial, and document data, and runs the back-office analysis Procore was not built to do: reconciliation to your QuickBooks ledger, collections, A/P drafting, payroll checks, and document filing. Nothing writes back without a person approving it.
02Which agents do Procore contractors get?
Five agents plus the Pricebook engine: Workforce, Routing, Documents, Financial, and Collections, with Pricebook running on vendor price files you upload since Procore has no pricebook. Booking and Inventory are ServiceTitan-only today because Procore exposes no customer-intake or inventory feed. The agent-by-agent detail, including what each one computes and who approves its actions, is on the agents page at topbuilderai.com/agents.html.
03How does the QuickBooks connection work?
QuickBooks Online is the books source the Financial and Collections agents read: the general ledger, A/R, and A/P. The accounting connection is activated per customer during install and fails closed until then, which means the agents report "not connected" rather than guess at a ledger they cannot see. Once active, every cash, margin, and aging figure reconciles to your actual general ledger, computed by deterministic, tested code.
04What does it cost for a Procore shop?
$3,000 per month for up to 25 people using the system, $4,500 per month for 26 to 75, $6,000 for 76 to 125, $8,000 for 126 to 250, and custom above that. The one-time install is $0 this quarter (normally $8,000), and every install is backed by a 30-day board-ready-or-free guarantee. Pricing is published in plain text on the pricing page; there are no per-agent add-ons.
05Does it ever write to Procore on its own?
No. The connection is read-only by default, and any write action you later enable runs through a propose, approve, execute gate: an agent proposes, an authorized person approves, the action executes idempotently, and everything is logged to an append-only audit trail with a compensating undo. Money and legal actions, like a dunning send or a payroll adjustment, always require a department lead, even when an agent is set to auto.
06How long does the install take?
Days, not months. You authorize the app from Procore through a standard OAuth consent flow, connect QuickBooks, and the agents start in advisory mode, so you see the reconciliation findings, the aging queue, and the payroll flags on your own data before anything acts. The install is done hands-on by the developer, and the step-by-step flow is documented on the Procore install guide at topbuilderai.com/procore.html.
