For Dave Richardson · Richardson Building & Home Improvement LLC

Hey Dave —
your workflow, built to last.

You said your production end is solved — Jobtread's handling coordination. Good. Here's what we'd build for everything else: a tool that speaks your schedule-doc language, knows Marlene Ploeg is a five-job client, and flags when Wysocki's exterior caulking can finally happen.

Not BuilderTrend. Not a template. Yours — owned forever.

Five things Jobtread doesn't do for you

Hook 1

Schedule doc that understands you

Free-text editor with your natural style. "Brodie (Working Mon, Tue, Thur)" stays your words. Routing notes like "ONLY take Packer" live right in the record.

Hook 2

"Soon, on a clear day" task list

Weather-deferred items — Horn pole barn cleanup, Wysocki exterior caulking — with live Lowell, MI forecast. Shows "next clear day: Thu" so you don't have to track it.

Hook 3

Repeat-client CRM

Marlene Ploeg: 5 projects, $24,800 lifetime. Gull Lake Ministries: Steve Kortlever, 6 jobs, 3 buildings active. These are relationships — your system should know that.

Hook 4

QBO reconciliation queue

Auto-flags jobs marked complete in the field but not yet invoiced in QuickBooks. "Completed in QBO" is a status, not an afterthought.

Hook 5

Mobile morning brief for Stephen

6 AM summary: today's crew assignments, pickup runs (Eikenhout, Menards Alpine), keybox codes, address notes. No digging through texts.

vs. Jobtread

Not a takedown — Jobtread is good at what it does. This is the rest.

Jobtread handles
  • Production coordination
  • Subcontractor management
  • RFIs / change orders
  • Document storage
  • Your crew's daily language
  • Weather-deferred task logic
  • Repeat-client relationship view
  • QBO reconciliation queue
Custom build adds
  • Schedule doc that parses your words
  • "Soon, on a clear day" deferred queue
  • Marlene Ploeg is 5 jobs, not a lead
  • QBO reconciliation, flagged automatically
  • Stephen's 6 AM morning brief
  • Yours — no monthly seat fees, ever

Built around your world

Monday morning: Stephen pulls the van, runs to Eikenhout for the screen pickup, then heads to Anielski at 11:30. Meanwhile Tim is running trim at Wysocki — doors, jambs, casing, cabinets, wall caps, handrail, barn door — everything except baseboards. Jordan is on demo at Grutter (ONLY take Packer to get there, not House St). The dashboard knows all of it. It knows Marlene Ploeg is back for her fifth job and needs a final payment schedule. It knows Wolowski starts at 8:30. It knows Brodie works Mon, Tue, Thu only. And it knows the Wysocki exterior caulk is waiting for a 50°F day — "soon, on a clear day once the ground is thawed."
