How we got here

We realized we were training our clients' new APMs on basic industry project controls how-to.

One thing led to another.

What started as onboarding support for industry teams became something bigger. Firms kept asking us to help their junior staff understand not just the software, but the workflows behind it — how drawings, specs, submittals, RFIs, schedules, and budgets connect on a live project.

We saw the same pattern everywhere: new hires from strong programs, but without practical exposure to how project controls actually work. The gap wasn't knowledge — it was experience.

The gap in education

Classroom concepts. Job site reality.

  • Drawings, specifications, submittals, RFIs, schedules, budgets, and stakeholder collaboration all happening simultaneously under real pressure
  • Students learn concepts in isolation — but projects don't work that way
  • Graduates start careers having never touched an integrated project management system
  • Employers spend 6–12 months on basic training that could start in the classroom

"The disconnect between classroom and job site is the #1 complaint from hiring managers in construction."

The solution

Jet.Build is being used as a hands-on learning platform.

Not a simulation. Not a demo environment. A production-grade platform that mirrors how the industry actually works.

Real Project Templates

Built around actual design and construction scenarios — from pre-development through closeout

Role-Based Collaboration

Students work as owners, GCs, trades, and design teams — mirroring live project dynamics

Financial Management

Budgeting, pay applications, and cash flow management as interactive, hands-on exercises

Industry-Standard Workflows

RFIs, submittals, change orders, daily logs — the exact tools they'll use on day one

Inside the platform

What students actually do.

Set Up & Manage Projects

Create project structures, assign roles, configure workflows — the same setup process used on $50M+ projects

Process RFIs & Submittals

Draft, route, review, and close RFIs and submittals across teams — learning the cadence of real-time coordination

Track Budgets & Change Orders

Build budgets, process change orders, review pay applications, and forecast cash flow against schedule

Collaborate Across Stakeholders

Work in role-specific views as owners, GCs, subs, and designers — seeing how information flows between parties

Generate Reports & Insights

Pull status reports, cost summaries, and compliance updates using Jenny AI — learning to communicate project health

Construction team reviewing plans on site
Platform capabilities

Four capabilities. One system.

Jet.Build connects project management, financials, documents, and workflows — giving students the integrated view that siloed tools never provide.

Project Management

Schedules, milestones, tasks, RFIs, submittals, and daily logs — all in one view

Cost Control

Budgets, change orders, invoices, and real-time cost tracking with variance alerts

Document Management

Drawings, specs, submittals, and RFIs — versioned, organized, and accessible

Workflow Automation

Approvals, notifications, and handoffs that route automatically across teams

Case study

The Live Project Studio.

A semester-long simulation — run on real software.

Meet Jenny

AI that teaches by doing.

Jenny is Jet.Build's AI assistant — built into the platform, trained on project data. Students don't just read about project analysis. They do it.

Ask project questions in plain language

"Which submittals are at risk?" "What's driving the cost variance on Building C?" Jenny answers in seconds.

Surface risks before they hit the schedule

Jenny monitors project data continuously — flagging delays, budget trends, and compliance gaps.

Generate reports without the busywork

Status reports, cost summaries, compliance updates — built from live data, not manual spreadsheets.

Academic alignment

Built for the programs training the next generation.
