    Energy & Utilities Construction Management Software

    Generation, renewables, substations, transmission and water facilities are built across many sites, on equipment with long lead times, toward energization dates that matter to everyone downstream. Jet.Build gives owners, developers, EPCs, GCs and CMs one record for that work.

    The path to energization

    Every record points at the same milestone.

    Your team defines the energization and turnover criteria. Jet.Build keeps the inputs to each one visible so a missing test report or late breaker is seen before the outage window.

    1. Milestone 1

      Permits and environmental records

      Conditions, submissions and monitoring records filed by site and permit.

    2. Milestone 2

      Long-lead procurement

      Transformers, breakers, switchgear and modules tracked to need-by dates.

    3. Milestone 3

      Construction by site

      Daily logs, inspections and contractor progress across every location.

    4. Milestone 4

      Testing and commissioning

      Test reports and punch items tied to each system and site.

    5. Milestone 5

      Energization and turnover

      Readiness checklists and documentation for the milestones your team defines.

    What makes energy and utility programs hard to control

    Many sites, one program

    A solar portfolio or grid upgrade program can mean dozens of locations with different contractors and permit conditions. Owners need a rolled-up view without losing site detail.

    Equipment that sets the date

    Large power transformers and high-voltage equipment carry long lead times. A late submittal or factory test can move an energization date.

    Records regulators and owners ask for

    Permit conditions, environmental monitoring and inspection records must be findable years later. Jet.Build organizes them; compliance is verified by your team and the relevant agencies.

    Contractors and cost across sites

    Commitments, change orders and invoices from several contractors need to roll up by site, phase and cost code so forecasts hold.

    Related: cost management, project management and document management.

    Illustrative scenario, not a customer story

    The developer's program manager tracks the main transformer through its submittal, factory test report and delivery date in Jet.Build. When the factory test is rescheduled, the impact on the outage window is visible to the utility coordinator and the EPC the same day.

    Permit conditions for stormwater and habitat monitoring are assigned to named people with recurring checks. Change orders from the civil and electrical contractors roll up by site, and the turnover package is assembled as testing completes.

    Implementation & Support

    One dedicated contact to set up your sites, packages and milestones.

    Jet.Build assigns a consistent dedicated implementation and account contact who helps structure your program by site and package, trains your team weekly and remains your contact as new sites are added.

    • One assigned point of contact

      The same person manages your account and setup and stays your contact across the program.

    • Setup and workflow configuration

      Help configuring sites, packages, cost codes, permit-condition tracking, approval routing and readiness checklists.

    • Weekly training

      Weekly training for owner teams, EPCs, contractors and project controls staff, using your own sites.

    • Ongoing support

      Continued support through construction, commissioning, energization and the next site.

    Safety, permit and regulatory compliance remain the responsibility of owners, contractors and the relevant agencies. Implementation scope and timing are agreed with you.

    Evaluation checklist

    Questions to ask when evaluating software for energy and utility programs

    Neutral questions to put to any vendor, Jet.Build included.

    • Can we organize a program by site and still see roll-ups of cost and open items?
    • Can long-lead equipment be tied to submittals, factory tests and need-by dates?
    • Can permit conditions be assigned to people with recurring checks and evidence?
    • Can EPCs, subcontractors and engineers work in one record without seat limits?
    • Do change orders and invoices roll up by site, phase and cost code?
    • Who sets this up with us, how often are we trained, and who supports us after launch?

    Energy and utilities construction questions

    No. Jet.Build helps teams store, assign and track permit conditions, environmental records and inspections. Compliance is determined by your environmental, legal and project teams and the agencies involved.

    The infrastructure page covers broad public works such as highways, bridges and municipal programs. This page focuses on energy and utility capital assets: generation, renewables, substations, transmission and related water facilities, where equipment lead times and energization milestones drive the schedule.

    Yes. Projects can be organized by site within a program so owners see roll-ups of cost, schedule and open items while site teams work in their own records.

    Safety programs are defined and enforced by owners and contractors. Teams use Jet.Build to record inspections, observations and daily logs with photos and keep an audit trail; it does not guarantee safety or legal compliance.

    Yes. Users are unlimited, and role-based access lets owners, EPC contractors, subcontractors and engineers see the records relevant to them.

    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.
