Buildesk data can move into HubSpot, landing mainly in Sales Hub. 0 of 7 mapped objects move directly; 3 items need manual work and 2 do not move. Plan roughly 2-4 weeks for a small move and 10-20 weeks for a large one.

What moves the number
Timeline ranges are planning estimates, not a quote. A partner confirms scope after discovery.
Access, mapping and limits
Start with how data leaves Buildesk: what you need to get in, what lands in HubSpot, and what will not.
Choose your route
How will you move the data?
No native connector was found.
- You need: To confirm
- Permission: To confirm
Native imports often bring over only some data, so check coverage per object in the mapping below.
Export each object, clean it, then import it into HubSpot.
- Vendor-assisted data export (unconfirmed; ask the vendor)
- Report/list exports in the UI (not documented in sources)
Limits: To confirm
Migration and sync tools can move more than a plain import. Confirm which objects each one supports before you choose.
Best when volume is high, custom objects are many or automation is heavy. That is the Large scenario: 10-20 weeks, usually phased.

| Customers / buyers | Contacts | partial | Map buyers to Contacts, with a lifecycle stage or custom property to separate them from leads. |
| Channel partners / brokers | Companies | manual | Channel partner mapping to projects exists. Needs a custom property or custom object for the project link. |

What to expect
HubSpot is not an accounting system. Keep them in Buildesk or an ERP.
Must be rebuilt as HubSpot workflows and reports.
Re-point them to HubSpot forms or the API.
Telephony data needs a separate import or a calling integration.
The export path for files is unconfirmed.
Request a full data dump and field dictionary in writing.
Design Custom objects and associations before importing.
Normalise to E.164 and dedupe on phone and email.
Data governance and compliance
Decide what is allowed to move before anything is exported. Tick each gate once it is agreed.

How much to trust each section, and where it comes from.
Vendor pages confirm the product, a generic API and migration services. No public API docs, export documentation or HubSpot connector were found. Object mapping and access details rest on category-level knowledge.
