JobTread Pros and Cons

Continued development. The JT team are adding new features and quality of life improvements almost every week.

The Budget / Estimate feature and the development team's engagement with users. I use the budget tool daily to calculate and document the scope of work and budget for our customer's projects. I can select the line items to include in a proposal, showing/hiding the information I want the customer to see. The most helpful part is the nested groups and tasks. Within the budget, I can have lots of detailed line items organized in multiple layers of groups. Then show the customer only the top 1-2 level of groups. The Selections feature is also good, I can give the customer options they can choose from on the proposal. They can choose to add or remove optional bits of scope from the project. They extended formulas to the budget calculation to make that feature even more powerful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

They have yet to integrate email, sms or call logs in the app. I have created a Zap, triggered by new SMS that adds it as a comment in that customer record. They are continuing to work on these types of integrations so I'm confident it will be available soon. In the meantime, Eric and their development team are very helpful working with users to add functionality.

Update: They have created a messaging center within the app that works with email to pull all the written vendor & client communication within the app. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love the speed and ease of creating and editing project budgets and proposals. The platform is highly intuitive, easy to implement, and has top-notch customer support. We utilize this platform daily for everything project management-related, e.g., budgets, proposals, contracts, change orders, scheduling, invoicing, document storage, and client and trade partner communications. Integrating over from Co-Construct and Builder Trend was a breeze with the help of our project success manager, Marley Fisher. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Job Tread is designed for contractors who utilize cost plus or time and material contracts, not fixed price contracts. As a design-build contractor who works solely with fixed-price contracts, there are limitations to how we can receive approvals for selections from clients during our project development phase via the built-in workflow of the platform without using the customary forms of selections and allowances that most of the industry uses for cost-plus contracts. However, there are workarounds we've come up with through the platform that suit our needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I could go on forever about why JobTread's features are better than every other construction software out there, but I don't think that's the main reason I like it so much. While JobTread's features are impressive, it's actually the company behind it that truly sets it apart. The major selling point, in my opinion, is that entire JobTread team and user base feels like a true community, and that’s mostly because they have an incredibly dedicated and ambitious leader in their CEO, Eric.

I don’t think I can overstate the talent that he’s been able to consolidate into one group. From the sales and outreach to the developers and designers, they exhibit a true passion for their product and a sense of commitment to their customers that you rarely see in a tech company. They genuinely care about their users’ lives and businesses, and will do whatever it takes to help us succeed. They are all extremely helpful in their online community threads, and go out of their way (even on nights and weekends) to respond to questions, requests, and even push out updates or fix bugs.

The app has a feature request board built directly into it, where users can request and vote on new features or improvements, which is then directly pushed to the developers. The process is simple — they build the features with the most votes. This means that the users themselves are directly steering the boat, which creates a sense of personal investment in the product from everyone who uses it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

As of right now, where I think JobTread has the most room for improvement with selections/specifications, and in some areas with expense management, invoicing (particularly with cost-plus). That being said, I know they are working on this updates to these features currently, so there's a good chance this changes in the next few months!

And as much as I love that JobTread displays so much information, there are some screens and dashboards that I wish were a little more refined and user-friendly. Sometimes it can feel a little overwhelming at first (especially for those not as tech-savvy), but you get used to it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We are a small company with limited resources, and Job Tread has been great. We've used the bigger companies before and nothing fit. Job Tread has been super accomodating for our unique construction delivery methods, even helping create a job costing database. Lastly, each time I have a quick question or can't find something, my customer service rep is quick to respond with a short tutorial video or a zoom call. I'm talking within minutes, not hours or days. Marley is the best! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Honestly nothing.. I'm a small company with 4 paid users and have zoomed several times with my CSM and even the owner! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We've implemented and evaluated many construction management software programs. After years of wasted time and money on programs that were very expensive and/or problematic in one or more ways, we built our own spreadsheet-based system out of necessity...until we found JobTread. It was a relief to finally find CM software that was great in every aspect: CRM, estimating, timesheets, schedules, contracts, file sharing, site reports, technical support, and collaborating with external users. This is a total game-changer making all our project admin way better and way more efficient. Highly recommend Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We fully implemented the system in little time with no issues and are getting positive feedback from clients and vendors whether for our flagship $4M residential project or smaller reno projects. We use all functions in JobTread and have no detractions Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

JobTread is an affordable yet powerful alternative to BuilderTrend. We love how easy it was to onboard, how intuitive it is, all the integrations it has with other business applications, and most of all we LOVE the customer service. The team at JT is always there for timely and thorough answers to questions, really listen to our feedback, and are constantly releasing improvements that WE have asked for. Plus they really put on a first-class fantastic conference to help us learn how to better use the system, network with other professionals, as well as grow our businesses. We depend on this system every day to help us get our jobs done! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Honestly, I don't have anything to add here! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Job tread is very easy to use, the customer support is there whenever I need them, and the platform has so many features that I can continue to add pieces as we grow without the need to build them all out from the start. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There are definitely some features that need improved or critical features that need added. However, they definitely listen to their customers feedback and are constantly making updates and improvements. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

JobTread Software has been amazing for us. We used another platform before, that was way overpriced and due to the costs kept us from getting all our processes into one place. Now thanks to JobTread Software we are functioning so much smoother and faster. My team has loved the transition and continues to learn how to make this software work to make their daily tasks so much faster, easier, and more transparent.
