    Construction Management Software for Advanced Manufacturing Facilities

    Semiconductor fabs, battery plants, automotive lines and high-tech production campuses are built around equipment that arrives late, costs a great deal and fixes the sequence for everyone else. Jet.Build gives owners, developers, GCs and CMs one record for that work.

    • Chip fabs
    • Battery plants
    • Automotive and EV plants
    • High-tech production campuses

    Many packages, one sequence

    Where the interfaces between contractor packages break

    Most delays on production facilities start at a handoff: a pad poured before vendor drawings were final, a utility stubbed to the wrong location, a tool delivered before its room was ready.

    PackageWhat the team needs to see
    Site, foundations and structureEquipment pads and embeds that must match vendor drawings before pours.
    Process utilitiesProcess water, gases, exhaust and chemical distribution interfaces with each tool.
    Electrical and power distributionSwitchgear and transformer lead times, utility service dates, tool power drops.
    Mechanical and HVACAir handling and environmental control for the specifications your team sets.
    Cleanroom or controlled-area fit-outCustomer-specified wall, ceiling and finish systems with their own submittals.
    Production equipment installationDelivery, rigging, hook-up and sequence by line or bay.
    Long-lead equipment

    See which equipment input is holding up which area.

    Tie each critical item to its submittal, its vendor drawings, the package that depends on it and the date it is needed on site. Late inputs surface before they become field rework.

    Related: submittals, RFIs and schedules and vendor document control.

    Commissioning readiness

    Know what stands between each area and start-up.

    Readiness is tracked area by area. Your commissioning and operations teams define the criteria; Jet.Build shows where each area stands against them and keeps the records together.

    1. Installation complete and inspected by area

    2. Utilities connected and tested at each tie-in

    3. Vendor start-up and test records filed

    4. Open punch and deficiency items assigned

    5. Turnover package accepted by operations

    Change orders and forecasts run alongside: each change carries cost and schedule impact through your approval path, and pending exposure rolls into projected final cost. See cost management.

    Implementation & Support

    Set up around your packages, areas and equipment, with one contact throughout.

    Jet.Build assigns a consistent dedicated implementation and account contact who helps structure your project around its contractor packages and production areas, trains your team weekly and stays on the account.

    • One assigned point of contact

      The same person manages your account and setup and remains your contact as packages and phases are added.

    • Setup and workflow configuration

      Help configuring packages, areas, cost codes, equipment tracking, approval routing and readiness checklists to match your process.

    • Weekly training

      Weekly training for owner teams, CMs, package contractors and project controls staff, on your own project.

    • Ongoing support

      Continued support from procurement through installation, commissioning and turnover.

    Cleanroom specifications, equipment qualification and process requirements remain the responsibility of your engineering and quality teams. Implementation scope and timing are agreed with you.

    Evaluation checklist

    Evaluating software for a production facility build

    Questions worth asking any vendor before your procurement packages are released.

    • Can equipment items be linked to submittals, vendor drawings, areas and need-by dates?
    • Can several prime or package contractors work in one project without seat limits?
    • Can we track readiness by area against criteria our commissioning team defines?
    • Do change orders show cost and schedule impact before approval?
    • Can we roll up committed cost and pending changes into a forecast by package?
    • Who configures this with us, and how often will our team be trained?

    Jet.Build does not hold semiconductor-specific qualifications or cleanroom certifications. Cleanroom classifications, contamination controls and equipment qualification are defined and verified by your engineering, quality and vendor teams. Jet.Build tracks the submittals, inspections, test records and approvals that document that work.

    Data center projects center on power and cooling capacity for IT load. Manufacturing projects center on production equipment: tool hook-up, process utilities and sequencing installation so lines can start up. The workflows overlap, but the critical path is different.

    Yes. Teams track procurement through submittals, RFIs and schedule milestones, with each item tied to the package, area and date it is needed. How items are structured is configured during implementation.

    Yes. Users are unlimited, and role-based access lets the owner, construction manager, package contractors and equipment vendors see the records relevant to them.

    Change requests carry cost and schedule impact through the approval path you define, and committed costs and pending changes roll into a projected final cost by package and cost code.

    Pricing is a flat annual subscription based on the number of active projects and includes unlimited users, so owners, contractors and consultants can all work in the same record. Integrations, onboarding scope and terms are agreed during scoping. See the pricing page for details.
