Is construction software priced on construction volume?
Some of the largest platforms in the category are: they charge an annual fee based on Annual Construction Volume — the aggregate value of the construction work across your projects. It means your software cost rises because you won more work, not because you got more value from the software. Zepth does not price this way. You pay for the modules you turn on, and the value of construction running through the platform is not part of the calculation.
Why volume-based pricing is contentious
It decouples what you pay from what you use. A firm whose pipeline doubles pays roughly twice as much for the same modules, the same team and the same workflows — and has to justify that increase in a year when margin is usually tightest. It also makes forecasting the software line item a function of your own commercial success.
What Zepth charges on instead
The modules you turn on, a one-time scoped implementation, an annual subscription including working-hours support, optional services, and AI metered by usage you can see. Growth in your pipeline changes none of those unless you choose to add projects or modules.

Zepth is the construction project delivery platform — it runs construction, procurement and asset management on one record, and does the work: reading the drawings, reviewing the submittals, matching the invoices and flagging the risks, with a human sign-off on anything consequential.
