🏗️ The ROI of Change: How Builders Win When They Switch to Jet.Build

by Adam Stark

Construction teams don’t resist new technology because they dislike improvement — they resist it because they think switching will cost time, money, and momentum.

But in reality, it’s staying with legacy tools that drains profitability.

Today’s builders are discovering that the ROI of switching to Jet.Build isn’t theoretical — it’s immediate, measurable, and grows every month.


1️⃣ Legacy Software Costs More Than You Think 💸

Most construction teams underestimate how expensive their old software really is.
Legacy platforms typically come with:

  • High annual license fees
  • Percentage-of-project pricing
  • Exponential module fees (RFIs, COs, Daily Logs, Financials, Scheduling…)
  • Paid “premium support” that still leaves teams waiting
  • Year-over-year price hikes that outpace product quality

The result?
Builders often pay 3–7× more than the software’s actual value.

Jet.Build simplifies the entire model:
👉 One price. One platform. All features included.

No module pricing.
No surprise add-ons.
No percentage-based pricing.


2️⃣ Faster Workflows = Real ROI ⏱️

Time is the biggest hidden cost in construction — and legacy systems waste a lot of it.

Jet.Build accelerates workflows across every role:

  • Supers complete daily logs in minutes 📲
  • PMs process RFIs and COs faster ⚡️
  • Developers access accurate ACRs instantly
  • Accounting works from clean, organized data

Most teams see up to 40% workflow speed improvements within the first month.

That’s not incremental ROI — that’s transformational.


3️⃣ Zero-Disruption Migration 🚀

The myth:

“We can’t switch right now — we’re too busy.”

The reality:
Jet.Build handles 100% of the backend work, including:

  • Full data migration
  • Project & account setup
  • User creation + permissions
  • Project template configurations
  • Custom integrations that actually work

Your team keeps building.
We do the heavy lifting.

Training takes days-weeks, not a year — because Jet.Build feels familiar from the first click.


4️⃣ Better Adoption Means Better Outcomes 👷‍♂️👷‍♀️

Software only creates ROI if teams use it.
Legacy vendors talk about “robust functionality”… but ignore user experience.

Jet.Build takes the opposite approach:

  • Intuitive, modern UI
  • Field-first design
  • Simple navigation
  • Clear workflows
  • Training that fits real construction roles

It’s not just easier to adopt —
it’s easier to stay adopted.


5️⃣ Long-Term Value That Compounds 📈

Cutting legacy software costs is step one.
The real ROI comes from project-wide improvements:

  • Fewer errors
  • Fewer delays
  • Cleaner documentation
  • Faster approvals
  • Better reporting for developers and owners

Over time, better visibility → better decisions → better margins.


Bottom Line 💡

Staying with outdated tools isn’t “saving time” — it’s losing time and money.

With Jet.Build, builders gain efficiency immediately, reduce costs long-term, and gain a platform that grows with them, not against them.

The question isn’t:
“Do we have time to switch?”
It’s:
“How much ROI have we already lost by waiting?”
