[VAT_NOTE]
Feature availability is phased. Plans include future updates as they are released.
EXCLUSIONS
Each plan includes the features listed on its card. Anything not listed is not included — feature scope is published per plan so nothing is implied.
ACCESS DURATION
Free projects remain available while your account is active. Paid projects include lifetime access, with free updates within that plan as they are released.
UPGRADES & CANCELLATION
Upgrades from a lower plan happen at launch by paying the difference — there is no recurring billing to cancel. Payments are once-off, processed by PayFast; BuildEase never stores card details.
HOW PRICING WORKS
P.01
One project, one plan
One account. Multiple projects. Each home has its own BuildEase plan — a plan belongs to a project, not an account.
P.02
Lifetime access to your project
A paid project keeps lifetime access, with free updates within that plan as they are released.
P.03
Revised plans are never charged again
Revised plans, extra drawings and amendments for the same project never trigger a new charge. A genuinely different property needs its own project.
