Client Experience

Client Portal Utilization for Construction Companies

You're spending 60+ hours a week partly because clients call, text, and email you for updates you could share automatically. We set up your client portal so homeowners help themselves and your phone stops ringing.

The Problem

Your Phone is the Portal

📱

Constant Client Calls & Texts

"When's the electrician coming?" "Did we pick the tile yet?" "Can you send the schedule again?" You're answering the same questions 10 times a day because clients have no way to look it up themselves.

Cost: 10-15 hours/week on client communication

📋

Manual Schedule Sharing

Every time the schedule changes, you email or text a PDF to the client. Then they ask about something that changed two days later. There's no single source of truth they can check.

Cost: Schedule confusion, frustrated clients

💰

Selection Tracking Chaos

Tile, counters, fixtures, paint colors—all tracked in email threads, text messages, and a spreadsheet that's three versions behind. Selections get ordered wrong because nobody has the latest info.

Cost: $2K-$10K per wrong selection order

📦

Payment Collection Headaches

Invoices sent via email get lost. Clients "didn't see" the draw request. You're chasing payments instead of managing projects because there's no easy way for clients to pay.

Cost: 30-60 day payment delays

How We Set Up Your Client Portal

We don't just turn on the feature and walk away. We configure your portal for how your clients actually interact with you, train your team to use it, and get your clients onboarded so they actually log in.

✓ Configure portal views: schedule, selections, documents, payments
✓ Set up automated progress updates from daily logs
✓ Build selection templates with photos and specifications
✓ Enable online payments and draw request approvals
✓ Create client onboarding workflow (welcome email, login, tutorial)
✓ Train your team to direct clients to the portal, not their phone

Client Journey Mapping

Map every touchpoint where clients currently reach out. Identify which ones the portal can handle.

Portal Configuration

Set up JobTread (or your platform) client portal with schedule views, selection tracking, and document sharing.

Payment Integration

Enable online invoicing and draw request approvals so clients can pay with one click.

Client Onboarding Flow

Build a welcome sequence: automated email, login instructions, portal tour. Make it easy for clients to start using it.

Team Behavior Change

Train your team to say "check the portal" instead of answering questions. This is where the real time savings happen.
