PlanGrid Alternative for Home Builders

Built For Home Builders.

Digs AI homebuilding software floor plans

PlanGrid isn't even for sale anymore - it's been folded into a heavier, pricier platform made for large commercial contractors. Digs gives residential builders the markup, takeoff, and client tools they actually need, without the enterprise prices or learning curve.

Skip the complexity of Enterprise GC software.
Work faster. Build smarter.

PlanGrid customers are funneled straight into Forma Build - a bigger, commercial-first platform. If you're on legacy PlanGrid, you're on borrowed time.

Built for Big Budgets

Autodesk pricing has climbed well past what a residential builder needs to pay, often requiring add-on modules just to get basic budgeting or scheduling.

Per-Seat Collaboration

Want to loop in a sub or trade? Many Autodesk workflows require them to hold their own paid seat. Digs collaboration is free for your subs & clients.

Move Projects Forward

Digs is a purpose-built PlanGrid alternative for home builders. Markup, takeoffs, estimating, and client handoff in one platform - built for how residential teams actually work, not commercial GCs.

Why Builders Switch to Digs

Save Time

Create smart markups, take instant measurements, and search across plans and conversations with askDigs AI chat. Digs replaces slow, manual workflows common in traditional markup tools that lack AI and extremely easy to use and user-friendly experience.

Protect Margins

Reduce rework, missed details, and change order confusion. With built-in construction estimating software and task tracking, everything stays connected from pre-con through close-out.

Impress Clients

Share plans, selections, approvals, and warranty info in one clean client portal. No more jumbled emails, PDFs, texts, or confusion. Just a simple, single source of truth that clients actually understand.

Real Builder Results

“Our team loves Digs because it’s not clunky. It’s nimble and easy to log in and use right away. Construction is already so difficult; it’s a breath of fresh air to have technology that is simplified and streamlined for our teams and clients.”

Nathan Walters

President, MassaRossa

"I know I’m not a big company but I’ve got to say that every client I have in Digs absolutely loves it. Definitely streamlines a big portion of the design process and even helps with take offs on the spot when they ask about ordering certain materials. I’m glad I signed on."

Upload your PDF plans and Digs turns them into a smart, interactive workspace. No setup, no training required.

Create markups, take measurements, easily diagram on trade specific layers, generate smart estimates, and assign tasks in one place. Visualize designs in 3D, export takeoffs, or share plans with trades and clients.

Digs bridges the gap between clunky markup tools and full project management, without the overhead, in a team and client-friendly experience that extends to home handoff and warranty support.

How Much Are You Paying for That Stack?

If you’re using PlanGrid, chances are you're being moved to Forma Build - and its pricing.

Forma Build. Separate estimating tools. DocuSign. Client communication apps. Warranty tracking. Each one adds cost on top of an already pricey platform.
‍Digs replaces them all.

One platform handles markup, estimating, collaboration, client approvals, and documentation. No juggling tools. No paying extra just to collaborate.

Just one price, built for residential teams from pre-construction through to handoff & warranty.
