The ROI of Moving Off Legacy Software: Why Builders Choose Jet.Build

by Adam Stark

Construction is one of the most complex, fast-moving industries—and yet, too many builders are still running projects with legacy systems, spreadsheets, and outdated tools. The cost isn’t just inefficiency—it’s lost profits, wasted time, and frustrated teams.


The Problem with Legacy Software 🖥️

  • Slow and clunky: Tools built decades ago weren’t designed for today’s pace of construction (or loading speeds!).
  • Siloed systems: Data stuck in one department means office and field teams aren’t aligned- nor are the collective stakeholders.
  • High costs: Licensing fees and IT overhead add up quickly, without delivering real ROI, while increasing year-over-year, stunting your growth
  • Low adoption: If your team avoids using the software in significant way, you’re paying for shelfware.

Builders who stay on legacy tools often underestimate the opportunity cost. Every delay, miscommunication, or rework eats directly into margins.


The Jet.Build Difference 🚀

Migrating off legacy software and into Jet.Build delivers measurable ROI in just weeks:

  • Time savings ⏱️ – Customers report cutting RFI turnaround by 60% and change orders by 40%.
  • Admin efficiency 📂 – Automated workflows reduce manual data entry and eliminate double work.
  • Cash flow improvements 💵 – Faster billing cycles mean fewer bottlenecks and more predictable payments.
  • Happier teams 👷‍♀️👷‍♂️ – Easy-to-use tools that both field and office staff actually enjoy using.

A Real-World Example: Titan Builders

Titan Builders migrated from spreadsheets and a legacy platform to Jet.Build in just 30 days. The impact?
