Construction software in Quebec: 25 tools compared in 2026 (pricing, French, CCQ)

Construction software in Quebec: how to read this comparison

There is no single good construction software for everyone. A three-person roofer, an electrician who mostly does service work and a general contractor who bids on SEAO do not have the same needs. So we grouped the tools by type rather than ranking them from first to last.

For each software, we give three things: what it does according to its website, its price as published (with the currency when stated) and the language. When a page shows the $ symbol without specifying USD or CAD, we say so. Prices change often: always check the vendor's page before signing. Our own method is described on the Comparisons page.

Criteria specific to Quebec

• Language: French interface for crews and French documents for clients.
• CCQ payroll (Commission de la construction du Québec): rates by trade and by sector, revised every year (see the 2026 CCQ rate calculator).
• GST and QST on quotes and invoices (see GST and QST on a quote).
• Holdbacks and progress billing when your contracts provide for them.
• SEAO if you target public contracts (see the SEAO guide).
• Data hosting and subprocessors, to be assessed under Law 25 (Quebec's privacy law).
