🏗️ Case Study: How Crestline Builders Migrated to Jet.Build With Zero Downtime

by Adam Stark

When Crestline Builders decided it was time to leave their legacy platform, their biggest concern wasn’t learning new software — it was not slowing down active projects.

They were running multiple jobs, coordinating with several external partners, and had teams already stretched thin.
The idea of migrating seemed like a risk they couldn’t afford.

Jet.Build turned that risk into a non-event.
Crestline switched platforms without losing a single day of productivity.


1️⃣ The Challenge: “We can’t afford downtime.”

Like many growing builders, Crestline’s systems were showing cracks:

  • Disconnected tools
  • Rising module costs
  • Slow, outdated interfaces
  • Support that left teams stranded
  • No unified source of truth

They knew they needed a modern platform —
but they feared disruption more than the software they were replacing.


2️⃣ The Jet.Build Solution: Phased Migration + Full Support

Jet.Build deployed a phased migration strategy tailored to Crestline’s project schedule:

Phase 1 → Project Setup & Backend Migration

Jet handled:

  • Importing historical data
  • Rebuilding workflows
  • Recreating approvals
  • Mapping user roles & permissions
  • Setting up integrations

    All done behind the scenes while Crestline continued using their old tools.

Phase 2 → Role-Based Activation

Superintendents came online first → PMs next → Developers & accounting last.

Each group received short, focused training until fully comfortable.

Phase 3 → Full Platform Adoption

Once every role was operating confidently, Crestline transitioned entirely into Jet.Build — with zero friction, zero slowdown, zero confusion.

“We expected a dip in productivity. Instead, Jet.Build made our workflows- simpler. The team ramped faster than we imagined.”
— Derek P., Director of Field Operations

3️⃣ The Results: Zero Downtime. Immediate Gains. 🚀

Crestline’s benefits showed up fast:

✨ No disruption to active projects
✨ Teams fully trained in under 4 weeks
✨ Cleaner, real-time reporting across the portfolio
✨ Better accountability between roles
✨ Consolidated tech stack → lower annual software costs

Jet didn’t change how Crestline builds —
it simply removed the friction hiding in their existing processes.


Bottom Line

Migration doesn’t have to be stressful.
It doesn’t have to be messy.
And it definitely doesn’t have to slow your teams down.

With Jet.Build, builders switch platforms on their terms, at their pace, and with full support from day one.
