Overview
Constructor CRM stores contacts, companies, deals, activities, and custom properties in a flat object model with flexible field definitions. HubSpot uses a relational model with Contacts, Companies, Deals, and Tickets as core objects, plus a property system for both standard and custom fields. Lifecycle stages in HubSpot provide lead routing logic that Constructor handles through custom fields or pipeline stages. We extract Constructor data via API access, transform field names and data types to match HubSpot conventions, map Constructor's pipeline stages to HubSpot deal stages, and bulk-import through HubSpot's native import API. Custom fields map to HubSpot properties with their original types preserved. Activities (calls, emails, meetings, notes) import as HubSpot engagements with original timestamps and owners. HubSpot's automations, workflows, and sequences do not migrate — they must be rebuilt in HubSpot's workflow builder. We export Constructor workflow definitions as reference documentation so your team can reconstruct automation logic post-migration. The migration uses scoped read access on Constructor so your team keeps working throughout the cutover window.
Every standard and custom field arrives verified.
AI proposes the map; you confirm before any record moves.
Parent–child, lookups, and ownership stay linked.
Calls, emails, meetings — with original timestamps.
Documents, uploads, and inline notes move with the record.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a Constructor object lands in HubSpot, including any object-level transformations, lookup resolution, or schema-design dependencies.
Typical mapping — final map is confirmed during the sample migration step.
Constructor
Contact
HubSpot
Contact
1:1Constructor contacts map directly to HubSpot contacts. Email address is the primary deduplication key. Constructor contact properties map to HubSpot built-in properties where name matches; custom properties create HubSpot custom properties. Owner resolution happens by email match against HubSpot users.
Constructor
Company
HubSpot
Company
1:1Constructor companies map to HubSpot companies. Domain field maps to HubSpot's domain field for company creation. Parent-child company hierarchies in Constructor translate to HubSpot's parent company association. Multi-company contacts resolve to a single primary company in HubSpot plus secondary associations.
Constructor
Deal
HubSpot
Deal
1:1Constructor deals map to HubSpot deals. Each Constructor pipeline maps to a HubSpot deal pipeline. Constructor deal stages map to HubSpot deal stages per pipeline. Deal amount, close date, owner, and associated contacts and companies transfer with original timestamps preserved in custom datetime fields.
Constructor
Pipeline
HubSpot
Pipeline
1:1Each Constructor pipeline becomes a separate HubSpot deal pipeline. We create HubSpot pipelines matching Constructor pipeline names and configure stage order to match the source. Stage probability values from Constructor migrate as custom fields since HubSpot auto-calculates probability from stage configuration.
Constructor
Pipeline Stage
HubSpot
Deal Stage
1:1Constructor stage names map value-by-value to HubSpot deal stages. Each stage receives the corresponding Constructor stage label. If Constructor uses custom stage names (e.g., 'Proposal Sent', 'Negotiation'), those exact values are created as HubSpot stage names. Stage order and probability metadata re-applied to match Constructor's configuration.
Constructor
Activity (Call)
HubSpot
Call engagement
1:1Constructor call logs migrate as HubSpot calls with original timestamp, duration, outcome, owner, and associated contact and company records preserved. Call direction (inbound or outbound) maps to HubSpot's call direction property. Call notes from Constructor transfer as call body text within the engagement record.
Constructor
Activity (Email)
HubSpot
Email engagement
1:1Constructor email logs migrate as HubSpot email engagements. The email subject line, body content, timestamp, sent or received status, and all associated records transfer completely. Email attachments stored in Constructor re-upload to HubSpot file storage and link back to the engagement record upon completion.
Constructor
Activity (Meeting / Note)
HubSpot
Meeting / Note
1:1Constructor meetings map to HubSpot meetings with start and end times, subject, location details, and attendee lists included. Constructor notes map to HubSpot notes with body text content, assigned owner, and original timestamp preserved. Note associations to contacts, companies, and deals all transfer as HubSpot note associations.
Constructor
Custom Object
HubSpot
Custom Object
1:1Constructor custom objects (Enterprise tier) map 1:1 to HubSpot custom objects. Custom object properties migrate as HubSpot custom properties with matching field types. N:N relationships between custom objects in Constructor translate to HubSpot association definitions. We create the HubSpot custom object schema before migration.
Constructor
Tag / Label
HubSpot
Label
1:1Constructor tags on contacts, companies, and deals migrate as HubSpot labels. Tag values create label entries in HubSpot. For high-cardinality tag sets (100+ unique tags), we recommend filtering to the most-used tags and rebuilding the full set in HubSpot post-migration.
Constructor
User / Owner
HubSpot
Owner
1:1Constructor users resolve to HubSpot owners by email match. Active users in Constructor become active owners in HubSpot. Inactive Constructor users can migrate as inactive HubSpot owners or reassign to a default owner — your team decides the rule before migration.
Constructor
Constructor Workflow
HubSpot
HubSpot Workflow
1:1Constructor workflows, automation rules, and sequence logic do not migrate. We export workflow definitions as a structured JSON reference so your HubSpot admin can rebuild rules in HubSpot's workflow builder. The export includes trigger conditions, action sequences, and filter logic.

Gotchas + challenges
Platform-specific issues from each side, plus the pair-specific challenges that don't show up on either platform's page on its own.
Constructor gotchas
Reporting and filter limitations make pre-migration data inventory harder
Estimating templates and take-offs carry business logic, not just data
KeyPay payroll data lives in a connected but separate system
Uptime variability requires staged migration windows
Custom integrations (Salesforce, ClickHomes, OCR, ELO) need separate scoping
HubSpot gotchas
Marketing Contacts billing model is migration-critical
Feature tier gating is not visible until onboarding
Mandatory onboarding fees inflate year-one cost
HubSpot CSV importer cannot migrate engagements or attachments
Custom objects require Enterprise and a pre-existing schema
Pair-specific challenges
Migration approach
Set up HubSpot target schema before data moves
Before any data leaves Constructor, we configure HubSpot's target environment: create custom properties that match Constructor's custom field definitions, set up deal pipelines and stages mirroring Constructor's pipeline configuration, configure owner teams, and define lifecycle stage values. We deliver a HubSpot setup checklist based on the Constructor schema audit so your team can pre-create anything that requires Admin credentials in HubSpot. This step runs in parallel with data extraction from Constructor.
Extract Constructor data via API and validate completeness
We connect to Constructor's API using scoped read access credentials. All contacts, companies, deals, activities, custom objects, tags, and user records export in structured JSON. We validate record counts against Constructor's internal counts, check for null values in required fields, and flag records with broken associations (orphaned contacts, deals without owners). Data quality issues surface before migration runs — your team decides how to handle missing or invalid records.
Run a sample migration with field-level diff
A representative slice of 50–100 records migrates first — typically spanning contacts from multiple lifecycle stages, deals from each Constructor pipeline, and a sample of activities. We generate a field-level diff comparing Constructor field values to HubSpot field values after import. You verify lifecycle stage mapping, deal stage mapping, owner resolution, and activity timestamps before the full run commits. Sample migration runs against a staging environment or your live HubSpot instance under a non-production data set label.
Execute full migration with delta-pickup window
Full data migration runs against your live HubSpot instance. We sequence the import: companies first, then contacts, then deals with association resolution. A delta-pickup window (typically 24–48 hours) captures any Constructor records modified during the cutover. After delta-pickup completes, we generate a migration audit log with record counts, error details, and association summaries. One-click rollback reverts all migrated records if reconciliation finds critical discrepancies.
Deliver workflow export and post-migration verification
Constructor workflow definitions export as structured JSON — trigger conditions, action sequences, filter logic, and enrollment criteria. We package this with a HubSpot workflow rebuild guide so your team can recreate automation in HubSpot's workflow builder. Post-migration, we run a final verification comparing Constructor record counts to HubSpot record counts per object type and surface any gaps for manual review.
