- Schedules and the revisions
- Budgets, commitments and change events
Why buyers want it
An RFI that became a change order that was approved and billed is a complete loop. Daily logs show what actually happened against the schedule. Buyers want the volume of documented decisions, with the owner, the site and the subs removed.
- The buyer built for small operators
- publishes an offer band of $250,000 to $750,000 for roofing and construction companies (published, October 2026).
- The multi-lab licensing platform
- lists work orders and operations exceptions (published, 2026).
- One enterprise buyer
- lists project histories and approval workflows (published, October 2026).

How to export it
You do not have to do this before talking to a buyer. The buyer walks your admin through it once a deal is scoped. For reference, as of October 6, 2026:
- Procore: project-level exports from each tool (RFIs, submittals, change orders) to PDF or CSV; the API for bulk history; Procore support for a full company export.
- Buildertrend: reports and exports per project; the API.
- Drawings and photos export with the project.
- Scope closed projects first; most deals exclude active ones.
Vendors move menus. Check the vendor's help center for the current path.

How scrubbing works, and what every buyer commits to.
What it pairs with
One system is a record. Two linked systems are a story. This is where the number moves most.
- QuickBooks and Xero
- The change order and the billing.
- Outlook and SharePoint
- The email that resolved the RFI.
- Microsoft Teams
- The field-to-office conversation.
Which buyer types name it
Every buyer type, what it publishes, and who it wants.
Industries that run on it
In short
- Procore and Buildertrend: high demand among buyers. 3 of the 6 buyer types name this kind of record.
- Years of history and links to other systems drive the number. A snapshot is worth little.
- Names, credentials and anything under a restrictive contract are removed or excluded before use.
- You do not export anything before a deal is scoped. The buyer handles it with your admin.
Questions owners ask.
Owners would have to agree.
Depends on the contract. Most private contracts are silent. The buyer reads a sample first.
Can we exclude active projects?
Yes. Closed projects only is normal.
What about subs' data?
Their pricing and people are removed. Your management of them stays.
Which buyer?
The trades-focused buyer for most GCs. The enterprise buyers above 30 to 40 people.
