Every construction leader has said it at least once:
âWe donât have time to change right now.â
Itâs understandable. Teams are busy, projects are tight, and retraining sounds like a disruption.
But staying with legacy software is the real disruptionâone that slowly erodes profitability, efficiency, growth, and control.
Letâs talk about what âstaying stuckâ actually costs. đ¸
1ď¸âŁ Youâre Paying Premiums for Outdated Tools
Legacy construction software companies built their pricing around big budgets, not builder outcomes.
- High annual licensing fees with little flexibility.
- Extra costs for every module, every ad-on, every year.
- âEnterpriseâ add-ons that inflate your billâfast and furious.
By the time your team has full access, youâre often paying 5â10x more than the software is worth.
2ď¸âŁ The âModule Trapâ â Compounding Fees with Every Click
Most legacy systems sell functionality in pieces: RFIs, reporting, scheduling, financialsâall separate modules.
That means every time you grow, your cost structure multiplies.
Youâre scaling your software spend, not your business.
With Jet.Build, itâs simple: one platform, one flat price, unlimited functionality.
3ď¸âŁ Rising Costs, Year After Year đ
Legacy vendors raise prices annuallyâoften double-digit increases. Builders get less flexibility, slower innovation, and support that feels increasingly hands-off.
Jet.Buildâs transparent pricing means no surprises and no inflation disguised as âproduct evolution.â
4ď¸âŁ Weak Support for Your Teams (and Your Partners)
Legacy support models often prioritize their top clients- what about the rest of you?
Your internal teams struggle to get fast answersâand external stakeholders (owners, investors, architects, contractors) are left without the access or clarity they need.
Jet.Buildâs onboarding team manages end-to-end setup, training, and migrationâso your people donât lose a day of productivity.
5ď¸âŁ The Hidden Cost: Time âąď¸
While youâre paying those high fees, your teams are losing hours every week jumping between systems, double-entering data, and reconciling reports.
Thatâs time that could be spent building, not babysitting software.
âWe thought migration would take months. Jet.Build had our entire team trained and active before our next billing cycle.â
â Alex D., Project Executive
The Jet.Build Difference đ

Bottom Line đĄ
The question isnât âCan we change?â
Itâs âHow much longer can we afford not to?â
Legacy systems charge more, deliver less, and keep raising prices. Jet.Build delivers measurable ROI in your first monthâwith better support, faster onboarding, and a pricing model built for builders, not software vendors.
