Pros

“When you click on daily log photos you can't scroll, you have to individually click each photo to view”
MK

Melanie K.

Managing Director CEO

“Buildbook makes it easy to manage our multiple projects, communicate with clients and track our finances.”
RM

Roberto M.

Project Manager

“With its interactive Gantt chart and milestone tracking, you can visualize project timelines, monitor progress, and stay on top of deadlines which we love here at our design/build firm.”
AV

Alondra V.

Office Manager

Pros

“Samson Floor Design handles full-service flooring, custom showers, kitchens, baths, and build-back work across the Baton Rouge area — and managing that kind of pipeline used to mean juggling spreadsheets, sticky notes, email chains, and a memory that wasn't always cooperating.”
AS

Allen S.

Owner President

“A team that clearly builds for contractors — boot camps, support, and a steady stream of features that solve real problems. If you're a remodeler, flooring contractor, or running any kind of trade with multiple jobs in flight, take a serious look at JobTread.”
AS

Allen S.

Owner President

“Real-time margin and budget vs. actual reporting, so I know which jobs are healthy before they become a problem.”
AS

Allen S.

Owner President

Cons

“That there were to many bugs and glitches if they fix that I would have stayed using them but I couldn’t do it no more”
RB

Rebecca B.

Crew member

“unselect all option missing Filter notifications by one or multiple people/projectI am quite sure filtering is not either working properly or not giving me information in real time”
JR

John R.

Site Manager

“The financial side doesn't work for my company”
MK

Merri K.

Manager

Cons

“The lack of message signatures and message templates means that you are constantly going back and forth copy pasting different premade messages, which adds a lot of friction.”
KC

Karn C.

Project Estimator

“Similarly, document customization is near zero and i often find not being able to change logo sizes, fonts and anything else a detriment in being able to present a proposal.”
KC

Karn C.

Project Estimator

“Some team members have found it challenging to navigate their specific tasks due to limited customization options for different roles.”
