JetStream Construction Software
JetStream is a cloud-based construction solution for small businesses that provides users with tools to manage constructions projects. The customer portal keeps homeowners up-to-speed on project changes and developments. The solution provides tools for scheduling, calendaring, selections, estimating, change orders and more.
The control panel can be branded and customized to each company's unique needs and homeowners can log in at any time to view project information, approve change orders, select products and materials and more. Users can access this information through their mobile device. The solution provides a construction estimation template that is pre-loaded with construction items and their regional costs. Users can convert estimates into project schedules and selection sheets and group these sheets by categories or areas.
JetStream provides Gantt charts that let users build schedules, collaborate with subs and vendors, send text messages and email alerts. The scheduling module allows users to record schedule delays and share them with customers. Pricing is per month.

Best affordable construction management software on the market

Cloud-based and user-friendly. Constantly upgraded to be more user-friendly. Easy to maintain all customer documents and notes in one place. Estimates are very professional. Support is amazing. Makes my small business look like a much larger organization.

This program is not yet compatible with Google calendar.
Recommendations
I looked at lots of software and looked online through forums to find what works for me. Price, bang for the buck, and ease of use were major criteria. I tried this software and never looked back. Really quality stuff. I believe there is a free trial period, so I would recommend trying it for yourself.

Very negative experience with JetStream Construction
Likes Best
At first it appeared to be a very intuitive well-thought-out program.
Likes Least
Does not function as promised. I feel they were very vague before we bought the program. Once I purchased it and realized it had been misrepresented it, it was too late.
Recommendations
After going through the online tutorial, it became very apparent that the capabilities of the program had been misrepresented. It does not work for a cost plus custom builder.

Jetstream is a great product. I have used the product for out-of-state building projects. I have had excellent support and fast response to any questions I have had. This product has continued to grow, and I have noticed that recommendations that have been made have been utilized as fit.
I recommend this product to other companies as well as in online forums that I participate in. Keep up the good work.

We have found JetStream to be an extremely useful tool for our company's daily efforts. JetStream helps us keep our past and current projects organized and up-to-date with limited hassle.
Our clients really enjoy having access to the customer portal so they can view their project documentation and pictures throughout their home improvement project. The rare technical support issues or suggestions that we have are quickly addressed and resolved while new and upgraded features are constantly being implemented. Keep up the good work!

JetStream has been great to use with my business. It's helped integrate everything together in one location. I also like how they continually are making more improvements to the already easier use of the website.

Only option was to purchase entire year. Realized software had many bugs and issues. Froze and did not work on multiple occasions. Asked for money back less than a month into service (which was at the time 30% higher in price than listed now). Was denied and told I needed to learn the software first.
Don't waste your money on this! I'm a 30 year old college graduate. This is not user error, but basically a beta-type software in its infancy. I did not want to learn the quirks of a system I didn't want to use down the road. I even offered to pay for the month plus extra I used the software. Owner is definitely not professional and would rather keep money than admit his software is not up to par.
I completely agree with the previous poster. If you look at other reviews, you will see other complaints about this software. Buyer beware!

We have been using this software for several months and find it to be poorly designed, uses secondary programs for report printing, non standard sorting (customers are sorted by first name, dates are sorted by month and comingles the years, etc. ), estimating has problems with revising, has to refresh after every entry keystroke. With all the updated patches that have been made in the short time we have used it, there would be no way that we would ever think about linking this program with QuickBooks financials.
We paid up front full one year usage and had requested a refund for the un-used portion which was excused away.
We are in the process of purchasing Contractor Software Group- Plus Series and compared to all the hyped cloud based, client portal software, this is by far month by month cheaper than anything these other so called contractor software has to offer.
