Jig vs. Buildertrend

Buildertrend is a well-known platform for home builders and remodelers, strong on client-facing features like selections and client portals. Jig covers the same core project management ground — scheduling, budgets, daily logs, punch lists — and adds a layer Buildertrend does not: real earned value management, tying your schedule and your budget together into one set of performance numbers.

Where Jig is different

• Earned value tracking (CPI/SPI), computed automatically on every seat, not available in Buildertrend as a built-in feature. Forward-looking forecasting (EAC/ETC/VAC) is available as an add-on.
• Built to scale from residential up through commercial and light industrial work.

Where Buildertrend has the edge

• More mature client-facing selection and change-order presentation tools, built specifically for the home-buyer experience.
• Longer track record in the production home-building segment specifically.

If client-facing selections are the priority, Buildertrend is purpose-built for that. If knowing whether a project is actually ahead or behind, in real numbers, is the priority, that is Jig.
