How JobTread Transformed Project Management for Credible Construction

Shawn Billings

Owner, Credible Construction

What were your biggest challenges that you faced in your construction projects before using JobTread?

"Job costing, but basically everything was a challenge before using JobTread. Knowing our numbers and having a real good grasp on what was actually happening in our projects and how much the projects were costing, from material to labor to basically everything under the sun. You always think you have a good idea, but then when you actually see the numbers, they can be surprising."

How would you describe the atmosphere those challenges would create?

"It’s the feeling of needing to work harder and more, always feeling pressured to hit a mark that you don’t even know. It’s overwhelming and stressful. Since adopting JobTread, everything feels more organized. We know everything will be captured, and there’s nothing I have to worry about missing."

How has JobTread impacted your team's morale, project timelines, and client relationships?

"Everyone feels much better when they know they can track what’s going on. It makes everyone feel responsible for ensuring the project comes in on time and on budget. Before, when they didn’t know, everyone felt rushed and like we were always under the gun, always missing our mark, always low on price. Now, we have a place we can look in real time to see if we are under budget, over budget, on time, or over time. It’s a more relaxed environment now than it was before."

Do you have any advice for anyone searching for construction management software?

"If you’re on the fence about what software to use, JobTread should be the first place you go. It’s cost-effective, customizable, and at your own pace. I’d say to anyone on the fence: make the jump. JobTread is where it’s at. You have to be doing it."

How did the challenges you faced before JobTread impact your project timelines?

"The timelines were much longer and lacked the confidence to communicate effectively with customers. We couldn't guarantee deadlines, often having to say, ‘We can try,’ which was not ideal. With JobTread, we can now confidently manage and meet project deadlines."

Nicholas Adams

Project Manager, Credible Construction

What were some of your biggest challenges in your role before using JobTread?

"When I was a carpenter using the old software, it was tedious and unreliable for daily logs and clocking in, often crashing and causing lost work. It was frustrating, especially when trying to provide detailed logs. I had to save my work incrementally to avoid losing it. With JobTread, I don't experience those glitches, and the process is much smoother. JobTread is more user-friendly and quicker for uploading pictures and videos."

Do you have any advice for anyone searching for construction management software?

"JobTread’s customer service is exceptional—they're responsive and helpful. It's faster, cleaner, and more efficient. The speed and ease of use make JobTread worth it 100%."

Scott Harris

Lead Carpenter, Credible Construction

Before you started using JobTread, what were your biggest challenges in your construction projects?

"Mostly communication about what we needed to do and the scope of the job. JobTread makes it so much easier to understand that and document it. Especially during the demolition stage, once we get it all demoed and ready to start putting it back together."

Can you elaborate more on how the documenting feature has helped with project timelines or client relationships?

"It allows us to prove we did what we promised, especially for short-term jobs where things might get covered up quickly. It helps us ensure everything is done properly and ready for the next phase. If I'm not on the job, the pictures help a lot in monitoring progress. If the pictures are taken properly, it shows me what’s happening and if I need to send a quick message for corrections. It's like knowing what's going on in the building by the sounds."

What are some other benefits you’ve experienced since using JobTread?

"Checking the time clock to ensure everyone is clocked into the right category and looking at the total hours of the job versus what we bid is very helpful. It’s all documented, making it easy to track actual time. There's no miscommunication; it’s all there."

Do you have any advice for field members, project managers, or lead carpenters who are hesitant to fully adopt JobTread?

"JobTread will make your job a lot easier. The information is there, and it’s not hard to find. It saves you a lot of trouble, especially if you’re trying to watch two or three jobs at once."
