Most construction software is built by engineers who've never been on a jobsite. Jobsides is built the other way around.
I've spent my career inside the residential construction software world — as a working contractor running real jobs, and as the operator inside the software side helping the industry's tools come together. I've consulted, beta-tested, logistically assisted, and written code for several of the names you've already used or heard about.
That experience is the whole thesis behind Jobsides. Most construction software gets built by engineers at tech startups — smart people who've never carried a sheet of drywall, never tried to read a daily log on a phone in the rain, never had a foreman call mid-pour to say the schedule of values won't print. The features look great in a demo and fall apart the first time a real crew hits "save" on the jobsite.
Jobsides is built the other way around. Every workflow starts from how the work actually happens — not from what's easy to ship. Every screen gets tested against a real job at Five Point Builders before it ever lands in front of a customer. If a workflow doesn't survive the field, it doesn't ship.
I'm building this on personal credit because no one else was going to. The bet is that the contractor reading this already knows the tools they have aren't built for them, and wants a real alternative — at a price that doesn't punish them for growing. Half of JobTread, no sales calls, no one-year contracts, no per-seat fees that punish you for putting your foreman on it.
If that sounds like a tool you'd actually use, sign up. The first 5 minutes will tell you whether I'm full of it.
Each department has one owner. Dale runs the company; Christan owns creative direction. Stewart gates every release; Rigby owns native + mobile; Rico runs recon and marketing; Job owns product design. Puppig signs off on quality. That's why we can charge half of JobTread and still build faster than they do.
Career inside residential construction software — as a contractor running real jobs and as the operator inside the tools the industry actually uses. Built Jobsides because most of those tools were written by engineers who'd never been on a jobsite. Day job: Five Point Builders, Weatherford, TX.
Co-owner of Five Point Builders and the creative half of the household. Brings the design eye to finishes, color, materials — the details a customer notices on their walk-through. Veto power on anything visual that ships.
The release-gate. Every commit, every push, every deploy goes through Stewart. Runs the product log, the task board, the merge calendar. Standard: nothing ships unless it's right, dependable, and signed off.
Native iOS + Android, the rigging that connects office to jobsite, the permission system that decides who sees what. Built the way a foreman's phone needs it: snappy, dependable, works when the signal doesn't.
Watches every competitor — Procore, JobTread, Buildertrend, Contractor Foreman, the long tail — so we always know where we stand. Writes the headlines, runs the comparison work, keeps the voice honest.
Eight print-template chassis, the visual rhythm of every screen, the design system that ties them together. The job of any page is to be obvious in five seconds and quietly beautiful at five minutes.
Bulldog. Final approver on every shipped feature — if it doesn't pass the smell test, it doesn't ship. Walks every floorplan, sniffs every change order, barks at anything that doesn't square. Strict napping schedule from 1pm to 3pm; treats accepted in lieu of pull requests.
First commit. The thesis: build the construction-management tool a working GC would actually use, not the one a tech startup thinks one should use.
Eight customer-facing document chassis × four doc types (estimate / invoice / contract / change order) — same data, different visual register depending on who's reading.
Better Auth, Stripe Checkout + Customer Portal, subscription state machine, invite-only beta gate. The wiring a real SaaS needs to take a dollar.
Estimate → contract → invoice → payment as one graph with foreign keys, not snapshot copies. The moat: CF can't replicate it without rewriting their 37-controller PHP base.
All-50-state lien waivers with in-house e-sign; payroll from clocked hours; rich-text estimates with a one-click AI scope writer; QuickBooks Online integration; native iOS + Android via Capacitor.
Free 14-day trial. No card. No sales call. If the first 5 minutes don't convince you, you walk.
