BYOA — Bring Your Own Agent
Included with Pro+ ($599/mo) · Not available on lower tiers

Wire your own AI agent to your live builder data.

Already running Claude, ChatGPT, n8n, Make, or Zapier? Use a voice provider like Twilio, Bland, or Retell to text and call subs? Point them at Cornerstone. Connect Claude Desktop, Cursor, or Windsurf to the built-in MCP server in ~30 seconds (the no-code on-ramp), or drive the full REST API for total control. Pro+ unlocks the same toolbox Foreman AI uses internally— every one of Foreman's 396+ skills is exposed as a REST endpoint, plus 37+ named webhook events. We built the API on top of Foreman: every time we ship a new skill, your BYOA agent gets it automatically. Read homes, schedule tasks, send bid requests, update POs, fire SMS to subs, notify homebuyers the moment a milestone hits.

What you get
  • Built-in MCP server (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf)
  • 396+ Foreman skills exposed as API
  • 238 total API operations for your agent
  • 150+ REST API endpoints (84 dedicated routes + generic execute)
  • 3 schema formats: Anthropic, OpenAI, OpenAPI 3.1
  • 37+ named webhook events
  • New skills auto-added to your API
  • HMAC signatures + delivery logs
  • Auto-retry with backoff
  • Scoped API keys
Bring your agent
  • Claude / Anthropic
  • ChatGPT / OpenAI
  • n8n / Make / Zapier
  • Custom Python / Node scripts
  • In-house enterprise agents
Bring your voice/SMS
  • Twilio (SMS + voice)
  • Bland AI (voice agent)
  • Retell AI (voice agent)
  • Vapi / ElevenLabs
  • Any HTTP webhook receiver

Why this matters:JobTread, Buildertrend, and CoConstruct will tell you “webhooks exist.” We ship the full event catalog with typed payloads andthe full skill catalog as endpoints — your agent inherits everything Foreman can do, and grows automatically as we ship new skills.Nobody else in homebuilder software does this.

Pricing FAQ

Straight answers about cost, plans, AI limits, and what\u2019s actually included.

How much does Cornerstone PM™ cost?

Cornerstone PM™ starts at $149/mo for the Starter plan (scheduling, permitting, homeowner portal). Builder is $299/mo and adds the full purchasing module with sales pipeline and design center. Pro is $499/mo and unlocks the entire AI suite — Foreman AI™, Blueprint AI, and Bid Import AI. Pro+ is $599/mo with the MCP server, REST API + Webhooks included and 60 user seats. For builders running multiple divisions, regions, or brands, the Enterprise tier adds multi-division management and corporate-level access at custom pricing — contact us. Annual billing saves 2 months.

How many users can I have?

Starter, Builder, and Pro plans support up to 30 users. Pro+ supports up to 60 users. Need more? The Power User Seat add-on (+$149/seat/mo) is available on Pro and Pro+ for team members who need elevated AI limits. Subcontractors and buyers are always unlimited on every plan.

What are Power User Seats?

Power User Seats are an add-on for Pro and Pro+ plans at $149/seat/month. A Power User gets dramatically elevated monthly AI limits: 3,100 Foreman AI conversations/mo, 2,000/mo Blueprint AI, 2,000/mo Bid Import AI, and 2,000/mo each for Punchlist and MLS Listing AI. Perfect for the person who lives in the app all day.

What are the AI monthly limits?

Every AI feature has transparent monthly limits that vary by plan. For example, Pro gets 620 Foreman AI conversations/mo while Pro+ gets 930. Starter and Builder include Punchlist AI and MLS Listing AI at lower limits. See our full Usage Rates page for the complete breakdown, including role-based access tiers and onboarding boost details.

What is the onboarding boost?

New accounts on every paid plan get 3× AI limits for the first 60 days. This gives your team room to import data, train users, and build workflows without hitting caps during the critical onboarding window.

What is the implementation cost?

Cornerstone PM™ has zero implementation cost. There are no setup fees, no required consultants, and no separate onboarding contract. You can be running your first community in under a week. NEWSTAR and BuildPro typically require $25,000 to $100,000+ in implementation budget.

What is included in the free beta?

Beta access is free for two years for the first 100 home builders who sign up. Beta includes every feature on the Pro plan: scheduling, sales pipeline, purchasing, design center, Foreman AI™ (396+ skills), Blueprint AI, and the homeowner portal. After the two-year beta, plans start at $149/mo.

Can I connect my own AI tools or add REST API access?

The MCP server, REST API + BYOA are Pro+ exclusives ($599/mo) — not available as add-ons on lower tiers. The built-in MCP server is the no-code on-ramp: generate a key and point Claude Desktop, Cursor, or Windsurf at Cornerstone in ~30 seconds. The REST API + BYOA is the full-control path: 150+ API endpoints, scoped API keys, and 37+ HMAC-signed webhook events. Both hit the same catalog — every endpoint maps to one of Foreman’s 396+ skills, so your AI tool gets the same toolbox Foreman uses internally and grows automatically every time we ship a new skill. The cleanest path to all of it is just upgrading to Pro+ ($100/mo more than Pro).

Do you support builders with multiple divisions or brands?

Yes — that's exactly what the Enterprise tier is for. If you operate multiple builder divisions, regions, or brands, Enterprise gives you one corporate account that spans all of them: multi-division management (up to 5 divisions included, more available), a corporate admin with cross-division access, a division switcher so you can move between brands with one login, corporate-level user roles (CORPORATE_ADMIN, CORPORATE_PURCHASING, CORPORATE_SALES, and more), centralized purchasing across divisions, cross-division analytics & reporting, and a corporate REST API with division-scoped (X-Division-Id) access for cross-division automation. It includes dedicated onboarding and priority support. Enterprise is custom-priced — contact us for a quote and a demo.

Can I export my data?

Yes. Every plan includes one-click full database export in CSV or JSON format — the CSV export generates 96+ files (one per table) in seconds. Every vendor, every home, every schedule, every option, every budget line. Nightly automatic backups are retained for 7 days. No vendor lock-in, no exit fees, no support ticket required.

Do you offer annual billing?

Yes. Annual billing gives you 2 months free (pay for 10 months, get 12). Available on all plans. Contact us for annual quotes and for production builders with more than 1,000 active homes.

How does Cornerstone PM™ compare to Buildertrend or JobTread on price?

Buildertrend pricing typically lands at $399 to $499+ per month with per-user fees on top. JobTread is $199/mo base + $20/mo per team member (tiered breaks above 10 users). Cornerstone PM™ Starter is $149/mo, and Pro is $499/mo flat with native AI agents that Buildertrend and JobTread do not include at any tier.
