For Canadian custom and residential home builders

Know your margin on every job before you bid it.

You build homes across Canada. You should not be running that company out of spreadsheets, six apps and your head. JACK App puts every quote, home, crew hour and dollar in one place, so you know what you are making on a build while there is still time to do something about it.

30 minutes, one-on-one with someone who works with Canadian builders. No pressure to sign anything on the call.

Does this sound familiar?

You build beautiful homes. Do you know if you made money on them?

  • You find out a build went over budget when the accountant tells you, months after possession day.
  • Quotes live in Excel, the schedule is a group chat with your framer, invoices sit in QuickBooks or Xero, and site photos are on three phones. Nothing talks to anything.
  • Change orders get agreed on site with the homeowner and forgotten by draw time. That is your margin walking off the lot.
  • You spend evenings doing admin instead of being a builder, or a parent. And the short building season does not wait for you to catch up.
$90,000walking off the lot every year

Here is what it is costing you. A builder doing $3M a year who leaks 3% to untracked change orders, missed hours and slow draws is giving away roughly $90,000. Every year. That is a new truck, a site super, or a very good winter off.

Built for builders, by builders

Not built in a boardroom. Built on a job site.

Dan ran a residential building company for over a decade. Custom homes, tight margins, the same seven apps you are juggling right now. So he built the tool he wished existed, ran his own homes on it, and other builders started asking for a login. Today that includes home builders here in Canada.

Clients, subs and safety

Fewer phone calls. Better paper trail.

Homeowners get their own portal for selections, invoices, daily logs and the schedule, so the "how is my house going" calls stop. Your subs and suppliers get free access to what they need. Safety forms, inductions and site sign-ins live in the same place.

  • Free homeowner, sub and supplier logins
  • Selections and variations approved in writing
  • Digital safety forms, hazard tracking and QR site sign-in

Now in Canada

Built for home builders. Now supported and set up for Canada.

JACK App already runs homes for builders across Australia and the United States. Canadian home builders were asking, so here it is, done properly, not a US product with a flag stuck on it.

  • Canadian home builders already on JACK App

    You will not be the guinea pig. Ask us on the demo about builders in your province, what they moved from, and what changed.

  • GST, HST and PST without the headache

    Two-way QuickBooks/Xero sync for invoices, bills and payments, with the right Canadian tax on every draw and invoice.

  • North American support and onboarding

    A real human sets up your account, trains your team and stays on the line. Local support is included in every subscription, not an add-on.

  • Built for the way you build here

    Cost libraries in metric or imperial, schedules that respect a real Canadian winter and spring thaw, and mobile logging that works from a minus-30 job site to a warm truck.

"Hurry up and make the switch to JACK App. We were hesitant at first since you only want to change project management software once."

"We had been using Buildxact and Buildertrend for several years which did some things we needed but not the whole picture. When we came across JACK App it was exactly what we were looking for."

Questions builders ask us

Straight answers before you book

I have tried Buildertrend, Buildxact or CoConstruct. Why would this be different?

Most of those tools started as either a scheduling app or an estimating app and bolted the rest on. JACK App was built by a builder to run his own company end to end, so estimating, job costing, claims and cashflow are one dataset, not four integrations. Several of our reviews are from builders who switched from exactly those tools.

How long does it take to get set up?

Most builders are quoting out of JACK App within the first two weeks. Onboarding, account setup and training are included in your subscription, and our team does the setup with you, not to you.

Is JACK App actually set up for Canada, or is this a US product with a flag on it?

Canadian home builders are already running their homes on JACK App. GST/HST/PST flows through the QuickBooks/Xero integration, and onboarding and support run on North American hours. Ask us on the demo about builders in your province and we will tell you exactly who and what they switched from.

Does it work with QuickBooks or Xero?

Yes. JACK App has a two-way QuickBooks/Xero integration, so invoices, bills and payments sync without double entry. Tell us which one you use on the demo and we will show you exactly how it connects.

Will my subs and crew actually use it?

Subs and vendors get free logins limited to what they need: their schedule, POs, tasks and safety forms. Crew log hours and photos from the mobile app in a few taps. If they can use a group chat, they can use JACK App.

Is my data safe, and can I get it out?

Your data is yours. It is encrypted, backed up, and exportable. Ask us on the demo about hosting and data residency and we will give you the specifics in writing.

Is there a contract?

You can pay monthly or annually. Annual gets you one month free. We would rather earn the renewal than lock you in.

Book your demo

Bid your next job already knowing what you will make on it.

That is the whole point. Thirty minutes with a real person, on a job like yours. If it is not a fit, we will tell you.

  • Personalised walkthrough on the kind of homes you build
  • Honest answers on QuickBooks/Xero and switching from your current tool
  • Canadian tax handling and what onboarding looks like for your team
  • No pressure, no 14-day countdown, no sales script
